16 Candid, BTS Photos Of celebs captured right before The “Action”

And the credit for all the BTS pictures goes to the ace American photographer Mark Bennington who visited India in 2010 and took up the project titled, Living the Dream: The Life of the ‘Bollywood’ which was a quite in-depth research.

During that time Bennington explained: “The series has 112 photographs and interviews from the beginning student to the biggest star in the country and everyone in between. This is the story of many, that only a few know. Actors are actors wherever you go; they share a universal commitment to storytelling by hiding and revealing their lives at the same time. It’s this dichotomy that provoked the purest interest in me… I decided to present the actors in their own words, quoting them directly and making a few edits as possible.
