he’s the talented second son of veteran Marathi actors, Ramesh and Seema Deo, who one will recollect made an endearing couple in Anand. It was his Marashtrian roots, he says, that made him doubly keen to hold a press conference in Pune, though Sarah Jane who was supposed to accompany him could not make it due to a sudden vertigo attack.

My friend would doze off as I sat awake watching whatever was on, and it was The Godfather Saga. I could not follow the story. I missed the second episode. But I did catch up on the third and fourth episodes.
