Ghost in Glamour

In the scene

Look behind the scene - literally

“Local people believe a ghost lives here,” our tour guide stated on the way out of Film City, Mumbai. Film City is the hub of Bollywood movies and India TV soap. This is where glamor is captured in the camera.

Ghost in the world of glamor! Does it sound right?

Yes, local people are right. A ghost lives in the Film City and in other studios.

We saw it too.

A common scene in studio

Camera and crew capture beautiful girls, handsome guys, stylish dresses, opulence, luxury, decorated houses, expensive cars, and well behaved perfect lead characters for Bollywood cinema and Indian TV soap operas.

Look behind the scene. Dreadful working conditions, poor sanitation, long working hours, ghastly surroundings and pitiful treatment of meagerly paid crew members.

That is the living ghost in the world of glamor and glitz.
