I’ve known Tejas for almost 20 years. We were college buddies, and over the years, I’ve seen his journey, his ups and downs, and most of all, his unwavering love for acting.

Fluffy pancakes beckoned, crispy parathas tempted, and a vibrant spread of fresh fruits and both Indian and Continental dishes lay before me. I must confess, I indulged a little more than planned, but every bite was a burst of flavor and warmth that chased away any lingering tiredness. By 9:30 AM, our little group of pilgrims gathered in the lobby, our anticipation buzzing in the air. Our luggage had been carefully divided—one set for the helicopter, adhering to s...
