One of the finest actors in Indian cinema, Shabana Azmi believes
that knowing poetry gives an actor the skills to excel in life.
She believes it is always beneficial if an actor is also a
poet as it gives them the required command over a language.
During an event, Shabana made these comments while sharing
her acting experiences with the audiences right from her FTII days, and how
studying there was an eye opener for her.
She also shared a few lines written by her husband Javed Akhtar
and threw light on the importance of poems in lives.
The event commenced with a spiritual AV, featuring the evolution
of acting over the years in Indian cinema, followed by a series of monologues
performed by the filmmaking students for the guest of honor.
The session was moderated by founder and chairman, WWI, Subhash
Ghai.
Speaking about her experience at Whistling Woods International
she said, 'I don't feel like I am a guest here, I feel like a family member
of WWI. I have been a part of this institute since its inception, and it is
always a pleasure to visit the campus. I want to congratulate each student present
in the auditorium, as they have got a wonderful opportunity to study here. I
would like to wish all the students good luck for their future.'
