2 foreigners in bollywood

These two people.

For those who don’t know them.

They are Hampus Bergqvist & Johan Bartoli from Sweden.

They are the founders of the Facebook page & youtube channel “2-Foreigners in Bollywood”. They make short comedy videos in Hindi language even when they belong to Sweden.

They had a fondness for films from different parts of the world. In their teens, they came across movies from the Hindi film industry, also known as Bollywood.

Some years down the line, when they had graduated in Business Management, the two friends took a decision that seemed crazy and irrational to their peers, but compelling and exciting to them. They decided to move to Mumbai, and make a career as actors in Bollywood.

When asked about the reasons for moving to Mumbai, Johan quotes :
“I've always wanted to get out there and do new things. Moving to Mumbai has been the best thing. College Life was fun. But Hampus and I didn't want to get stuck working in a bank (or something equally dull). We didn't have girlfriends, there was nothing to hold us back in Sweden”
It takes a huge courage to follow your passion. That too when your passion belong to a country which is 6400-km away from your nation.

I am posting some pictures here.

They have more ‘Desi’ in them than most of us.
