For an investment banker who graduated in Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles, it is natural to be in Manhattan and stay in a posh apartment overlooking the Hudson river. It is natural to find him walking down Wall Street and attend power lunches to take split-second million dollar decisions.
But our man, found it more natural to return to India and struggle his way through Bollywood, after enjoying a lifestyle the best of B-school graduates dream of. If you are still wondering who we are talking about, meet Samir Soni, the man who left a successful career in Wall Street to struggle in Bollywood. Unfortunately, for him success in the entertainment industry has always been round the corner, which has never come. Despite Samir acting in big ticket movies like China Gate, Baghbaan and Fashion, and doing serials like A Mouthful of Sky and Jassi, he never really made it to the top bracket.
But that does not make the former Wall Street executive unhappy. Because he followed his heart. And anyday he would prefer to struggle and do something he likes, than relax and do something he does not like.
