Walking the streets of Mumbai aka Bombay aka Bollywood can be treacherous for a pair of odd looking Kiwis (the beard is definitely coming off). Walking back to our guest house after going to see one of the hundreds of films produced in Bollywood each year Michaela and I were spotted by a 'talent' scout and signed up to star as miscellanous restaurant patrons numbers 25 and 26 in the next Bollywood Blockbuster - 'Yuvraaj' (apparently costing 50 million Rupees to shoot).We were both given costumes: Michaela a fantastic strappy top thing and I was given a biker vest (the only thing that fit me). As you can see in the photo below we both looked stunning, hence Michaela's positioning right beside the action (note the camera on the left side of the photo above) and mine in the background pretending to sip a pretend whisky (flat Fanta) ... ohh the injustice ...
All in all a great day being close to some of Bollywood's big names (including Salman Khan who apparently is always in the gossip pages of the papers) and our share of the 50 million rupees enough (400 rupees each (about NZ$14)) to consider doing this full time ...
It's already gone a little to Michaela's head (the boys just wanted to know which country she came from) ...

Good to see they kept the good looking one close to the action. The offer still stands. Baz.
