Imtiaz Ali: Auteur In Love

ImtIaz alI has always loved telling stories. He distinctly remembers a 14-year-old self nervously standing in the wings of the stage, waiting for his entry. He waited with sweaty palms, a loose tummy and a blank mind—one that would always take a few minutes to switch on even after he was on stage. It was the only place Ali would let go of his shy self. Looking fiercely into the eyes of the audience, he has performed tales of passion, separation, inspiration and, above all, love. “In theatre, the feedback is instant and transparent. They show you where you stand,” he says, trying hard not to be distracted by his constantly buzzing phone. A few days later, on a crowded Saturday night, I spot him outside the screening of his new film, half hiding his face in a baseball cap. Between trying to be inconspicuous and greeting those who walk up to him, he passes his credit card to his daughter who rushes to get some munchies. He’s here with his little girl to watch Tamasha , presumably to gauge the audience response to his latest love story.
