"How boring would life be if you didn't believe in fantasy?" asks Riteish Deshmukh. The actor who is romancing an alien in his next release Jane Kahan Se Aayi Hai, talks to CS about his fantasy world:
WHO: Riteish Deshmukh
WHAT: Talking about the supernatural
Beyond the realms
I think everyone has the freedom to let their imagination run loose. After all, imagination is the only thing that's God-gifted. Today man is thinking of creating a zero gravity zone, so I don't think it is so difficult to believe that there is life in another planet.
Even though I dream a lot, I've not been a boy with too many fantasies. I've never really gotten down to thinking about supernatural stuff.
Spaced out
I'm a sci-fi movie fan and love watching films like Independence Day, Alien, The Abyss, Avatar and a few others. However, when it came to Harry Potter, I was a late bloomer. I bought the fifth, sixth and seventh book together when the fifth film was about to release. There was so much buzz around the film that I switched off my phone and finished off the book in one day, because I didn't want anyone else to let out the secret!
Power with time
If granted a wish to choose a power, I'll definitely go for time travel. Why? Because in one life, I'd get to see the past and the future. I'll also get the chance to rectify a few things. But yes, I would then risk changing the entire history. Maybe I'll go to the future and change things some more. That would be a lot of fun!
