Every day thousands of people come to a city like Mumbai to make a career in films. There are many actors who left their good jobs and chose the path of acting, but very few parents leave their government jobs and come to a city like Mumbai to make their son an actor. Child artiste Yagya Bhasin’s father Deepak Bhasin was a section officer in the Uttarakhand High Court, Nainital and her mother Sonia Bhasin ran her own beauty salon. But to fulfill the dream of their child, the whole family left Nainital and shifted to Mumbai in the year 2017. Deepak Bhasin also participated in ‘Apna Adda’ this time and when he narrated his struggle story in front of all the artists present on the occasion, all the people present there became emotional.
Child artist Yagya Bhasin was very fond of watching Hollywood films since childhood. Deepak Bhasin says, ‘Every day when I used to go to office, my son used to tell me that I want to become an actor. At that time, apart from Hollywood films, he used to watch ‘Shaktimaan’ and ‘Chhota Bheem’. I did not take his words so seriously for three-four days. But when Rose started speaking, I felt what a big thing he was saying at such a young age. At that time he was studying in third class in Uma Lovely Public School, Nainital. I felt that maybe it is God’s will, who is giving me some signs through this child.
Yagya Bhasin’s mother Sonia Bhasin also had a big contribution in her decision to become an actor. Deepak Bhasin says, ‘I discussed this with Sonia, my wife said that whatever your decision, we are with you. I asked my son, if you want to become an actor, what will we have to do for this? The son said, ‘We have to go to LA (Los Angeles). I didn’t know about Los Angeles. I said tell me some other way. The son said that he would have to shift to Mumbai. We decided to leave the job and shift to Mumbai with our son. Including my salary and my wife’s income, it used to be Rs 2 lakh per month. It was very difficult to take this decision at that time.
