Lala pishori lal / lala kamarnath

Ive been running a community on orkut called "lala pishori lal " it has about 300 members .. most know what lal pishori lal is all about .. those who dont know .. lemme tell you again :) we play games .. under various topics .. topics as bizzare as " hindi kahawaton ka angrezi anuwaad" ookty , anahat, iqra , lohit akshi ,benit , rahul , binal have been very very regular .. ( lemme know if am missing some names .. i can always add ) ...guy i hope u know we are not just killing time .. we are being creative.. this is also what theatre games are all about too .. let ur mind run wild .. at times i use what u guys say in my work .. and u are very very funny :) rahul with his creative writing .. can go any level of being bizzare hahhaha :) i crack up when i read the posts .. and am thankful to u guys for never being crass or vulgar or cheap .. its a family community yaar ;) thx guys

Its funny.. at times when i go out .. some few people call me Lala ( including my friends ).. and for someone who dosent know lala .. its really weird ( coz i think i dont look that old ) :P .. so am giving basic introduction of Lala pishori lal again :) .. ok .. Lala pishpori lal .. was a character i played for the great indian comedy show ..on star one .. i was an ex cricket .. gone cookoo in the head .. and still believed .. sunil gavaskar was responsible for sabotaging my career as a cricketer .. :) and i teamed up with suresh menon who played srikant ..a lovely co actor .. its was the two of us giving expert comments on cricket .. mostly non sense .. :) check out the two videos ive put in orkut .. or you could do search on you tube too .. my get up was of a very .. old man (almost 200 yrs old lol ).. whose tongue comes out hanging while talking .. suresh is naturally funny and our writer arshad sayyed ( who also wrote dasvidaniya ) did fantastic job everytime with the scripts :)

When the show was on .. id go to a party .. people would wag their tongues to me .. like Lala .. almost like instead of saying a hello .. lol .. but was fun .. at times i would wonder .. how do they know me ?.. when the getup was quite loud .. and u cantt really make out that it was gaurav gera playing lala pishorilal .. how did they know .. maybe i underestimated the viewers :) they are too smart these days .. many dont know that i based the character on my relative uncle ji ... i spoke like him .. loud punjabi man .. lil hard of hearing .. am not taking names .. or my family would hate me for that :)) lol .. i always used to look forward to playing Lala

Originally the character was called lala kamarnath .. and since no one wanted to get into a controversy .. the name was changed to lala pishorilal .. it was really tough to take out that husky voice ..flem filled old voice .. i would cough non stop after the shoot :) but the adulation i got .. kept me going .. i clearly feel that was one of the best charachters i played till yet .. arshad sayyed saying that was the best thing he saw on Tv ever .. was a huge compliment at the wrap up party of the show .. felt great

Am running the community .. coz i wanna bring lala back .. maybe on the net on tv or a film ..I wouldnt mind producing a show .. i dunno how .. but i want him back .. i wanna freak out with lala much more .. and am sure the members of " lala pishori lal " would want that too .. it took two hours to do the make up ..even the eyes lashes were painted white .. but i dint mind .. i loved playing lala .. even if it took 4 hours .. wouldnt matter :)) yes one of the few acts ive done am quite proud of .. now when its off air .. i entertain my friends with funny quotes from lala .. or a rondevous with lala .. the non sense goes on .. i loooooooooooove non sense :)

My director shashant shah ( who also directs dasvidaniya ) had total faith in me .. the first day i was supposed to play lala .. it was totally left to me ..as to how i want to play it .. am glad he let me play it .. coz i had most fun ..shooting it ..:) i wish i had some dvds of the series .. i wouldve put it up here .. if any of you guys have it .. plsss give it to me .. or Ill have to play the character again( which id love to lol) .. do keep playing games on the community .. and ill get him back somehow :)
