Among the hundreds of people who come to the city with big Bollywood dreams was a Delhi-based mechanical engineer who arrived in Mumbai this year in the hope of making it big. However, in the seven months since his arrival, the man has been homeless, jailed and even beaten up after being mistaken for a thief. The engineer's roommate in the city, who had lured him to the city, became the reason for his plight, he said.
Pankaj Singh Gosai, a native of Uttarakhand, began working as a casting director in the city a few months ago and shared a room with Sachin Kumar, whom he had befriended on social media. Gosai left his job in Delhi to fulfil his dream job in the film industry. The duo stayed together in a rented apartment in Nalasopara but differences started cropping up between the two over monthly expenditures and maintenance of the flat.
