If you ever spot National Award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar riding a bicycle or giving catcalls in a cinema hall or even gobbling a vada pav in any of Dadar's small gallis, don't be surprised.
If you ever spot National Award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar riding a bicycle or giving catcalls in a cinema hall or even gobbling a vada pav in any of Dadar's small gallis, don't be surprised. This Mumbai man is still a child at heart. So much so that his wife has to warn him to behave before entering a theatre. Here's what the reality filmmaker, who's now attempting a comedy, reveals about his own inside story: 
Who: Madhur Bhandarkar
What:Talks about staying in touch with the child inside him
Emotional mixu00a0
I was a video cassette delivery boy in my youth and I still remember the homes I delivered cassettes to. The rough phases of my life affected me emotionally and made me a sensitive person. One lesson that life has taught me is that only change is constant. My popularity and fame is also subject to this change. People ask me where do I see myself ten years down the line, but all I can tell them is where I was.
I still face challenges and always face them with a smile on my face, no matter how disheartening the circumstances. And unlike my films that you've seen so far, I am a very fun person to be around. Be it on the sets or at a party or at home, humour is a key ingredient in my conversations.u00a0u00a0
Boys will be boys
My wife Renu keeps on complaining about having to look after two kidsu00a0-- my daughter and me. She gives me a strict warning before we enter a cinema hallu00a0-- no whistling or commenting on scenesu00a0-- which I conveniently forget. On almost every Friday, I go to Gaiety to see the first show of a new release. And after every film that we watch together, Renu refuses see any other with me. But I manage to coax her with my charm to try it once more.
The child inside me still eats chaat at a roadside thela, plays pranks, goes bare foot to Siddhivinayak on Tuesdays, and travels in rickshaws and cycles whenever he feels like. I don't let my fame suppress the child inside me. And I think this is the recipe to a successful, happy and a life full of spice.
Trend-setter
As a filmmaker, I have never bothered about the market trends. My decade in Bollywood has acquainted me with the ups and downs of this industry. When I first entered it, I had no foothold or a godfather to fall back on.
I still remember my bus travels while I was making Chandani Bar, and the few hundreds I borrowed from my family and friends to meet my daily needs. I was clueless about my life then, but six months later there I was, in front of President APJ Abdul Kalam receiving a National Award. Since then, I have decided that my instinct will rule my career and not the market.
