Naseeruddin Shah is a hard man to please, even though his wife Ratna Pathak doesn’t think so. However, he seems to be quite happy with the way the National Academy of Performing Arts’ students and faculty treated him while he was in Karachi to take part in their theatre festival. He was also impressed with Karachi’s theatre audience (as if it matters). So much so that when he was leaving for India, he expressed the desire to return to Napa to give its students a couple of more lectures and workshops.

Well sir, good to know that. Hope this time round you will allow Napa students to take your photographs, you know, because it got your goat when that happened during the festival. Click, click!
