Family Fortunes ep- Can See Law of Attraction Working!

Ritesh, Rajat, Vivek & Dolly, ready to play at Family Fortune- Game show for Big Magic Channel.
It is funny how my brother and I discovered on youtube,  the American game show called ‘Family Feud’ hosted by the funniest Steve Harvey around six months ago… and three months ago I came across this post for audition for a similar-sounding show on fb…

After make up dada & hair didi sent me back


Like many aspiring actors in Mumbai, I had given auditions for roles of various kinds and had been waiting to start a new innings in front of the camera. 

Being close to my brother and my Theatre Teacher, Baba Sir, had taken me to a couple of studios/ set locations in Mumbai…





After Make-up and Costume; added blazer for shoot.
But I finally faced camera outside of my home cookery videos, when having fun with friends. 

Our participation in this show called ‘Family Fortunes’, hosted by adorable Mantra proves that when a dream is treated with fun, things manifest quicker.

Dreams or desires spring forth involuntarily, but the mood or vibrations that we emit (if any less than happy/positive) can and should be changed constantly… The action that happens through us then and the result that emerges should not be judged; then it should all be considered His work… The Gita gyan, all over again… Many thanks

So, when the call finally came about shooting for the show as the channel had liked our audition, three of our gang of four were out of town! 

But the casting people at Ideas Box were understanding and a convenient date was fixed. Amid doubts by two people about their availability, I kept watching more of the funny show, the American as well as the new Indian version of it.


Finally, a picture of Ritesh (like bhai, a hard working AD, Sindhi guy, grew up in Calcutta, met Vivek on a film set) and Vivek after lunch at Joey's Pizza. Rajat had already left as his parents are in town.

Rajat is a sincere actor who apologized before hand if he effed up on the show. So did my brother and incidentally, they both gave top answers.


Here is our episode aired on Big Magic Channel. BTW, we won the game and the jackpot! The amount is minuscule when you compare it with the U.S original show, minus the taxes and divide by four, but still highest till date from the beginning of this Indian series and I believe, we won because the amount was not so big in our minds and hence, 'believable' and achievable... Magic is in belief and by being happy we allow magical things to manifest:)
