DIARY
10 PM Date:Monday
Shocked! It was an unforgettable day in my life, because I was busy with my new film project „Goopy Gyne and Bagha Byne‟. We have to take a scene with tiger, hired one tiger from Bharath circus along with its trainer named Thorat. But tiger unexpectedly behaved, it pranced, leaped and jumped towards audience and my co-workers. The trainer became mere spectator for the performance of the tiger. Finally it calm downs and we finished our shooting. Thank God.
