Bluff Master’s real bluff is out!

Feeling a little better. Every tabloid carries an article about my Singing for Bluff Master.Here's another one.
Last week I got a call from someone in DNA asking me if I had sung the Title track of Bluff Master. She couldnot believe that I had sung the song. She was then told by Vishal and Shekhar. So she called again and asked a few questions. This one has appeared in the DNA today.
The Whole thing is that....... at.

When I was just a little boy.........

The Masters and The Voice

Me and the Masters of the field.
Got a chance to be with them on the sets of the "Pepsi Bubbly Music Video".
The men in blue smiling when Rahul Dravid the Indian Captain told everyone " Just move your lips and Chetan will do the talking".

Interview on Zee Cinemascope for "Bluff Master".

Truth always prevails. Today I was interviewed by Zee music for the prelude to the release of "Bluff Master". They were shocked when Vishal-Shekar [mus. dir duo] told them that the voice on the track " Sabse bada rupaiyya" was sung by Chetan Sashital and that it was not the original track of Mehmood. The interview will be aired on 13th Dec 2005 8.30 p.m on Zee music channel prog. " Cinemascope". Enjoy!!!

Midday Article about my song for "Bluff Master"

Was really upset when I saw that my name was printed under "additional vocals" on the CD cover of "Bluff Master" the movie. Couldn't digest that bluff. Finally spoke to my friend and well wisher Chaitanya Padukone who write's for the afternoon tabloid " Mid-Day". Read about the Master of bluff here

restored photo

Mr. Venkatrao Raghunathrao Sashital & family in 1940. The little boy in the centre is my father Durgadas Sashital.
When I was excavating my dad's cupboard, I came across this photo. It was "overexposed" to years wear and tear. Had lots of scratches; few portions lapped up by silver fish. But it was real archive material. Dad got very senti when he saw the photo. Cut to flash back of 1940. The old family home, the servants, the sisters, the masti and mischief and the days of the RAJ. The whole vision turned sepia.
Thought I would give dad a surprise by restoring the photo to its original glory. Gave it to a professional photo studio which charged me a bomb for a shitty restoration job.
Finally decided to do it on my own. Cut to Adobe photoshop elements on my WIAO. Groped my way through the software and finally cracked it. Got a print out framed and presented it to dad.
He looked at the frame and that was a "Kodak Moment".
Guess the line "Do it yourself" works....... really.
