Abhinav Singh Kashyap
From donating sperms at a hospital to locking up the principal for his exam ticket, Abhinav Singh Kashyap's DU days were quite eventful. Taking a walk down memory lane during his visit to his alma mater Hansraj College, the Besharam director filled us in on his ragging and romance sessions from his graduation days.
I WAS A HIRA
My association with Hansraj College began in 1989 when Anurag (Kashyap, his elder brother) enrolled here. I used to come and stay in the hostel during summer vacations. At that time, Hansraj had a Hansraj Illegal Residents' Association and I was a HIRA.
GAVE UP ST STEPHEN'S FOR HANSRAJ
I gave up my Maths (Hons) in St Stephen's to study English (Hons) at Hansraj College because Anurag had studied here and I knew the college. Us samay toh media bhi itna tha nahi, toheveryone was shocked. Many people told me 'Tu toh Maths mein accha hai, English padhke kyaprofessor banega'. But after I took up English (Hons), it was Dr Sanjay Kumar (his professor) because of whom I had my first exposure to philosophy and mentorship. He used to teach existentialism and I would always attend his classes. Doosri classes kam attend ki thi but Sanjay sir ki classes attend karta tha. Unki class mein chai peena, rajma-chawal khaana allowed tha.Other teachers were quite strict.
I WAS RAGGED FOR SIX MONTHS
I knew the people in the hostel. I had the required scores, so I got admission and also a room in the hostel. Once inside, all my brothers' seniors, were there. So that sense of familiarity was there. However, I was ragged more than others. Hamaare yahaan woh pratha thi ki freshers' party takragging hoti thi. That was the year the Mandal Commission protests started, so our freshers' party got delayed to December. My ragging began in June, even before I'd taken admission, and went on till December. I was ragged for six months, but I enjoyed it.
LOST THE COLLEGE ELECTION BY 10 VOTES
DU was politically charged at that time and I even stood for the college union's presidential elections. I lost by 10 votes. Mera agenda tha pyaar baant te chalna. Us time budget nahi hota tha toh logon ko pushp nahi baant paaya tha. Pushp ke bina ladkiyan vote nahi karti. Us saalhostel ke votes divide ho gaye the kyunki baaki candidates bhi hostel se hi the.
I WAS A SPERM DONOR
When asked whether he owed any money to the canteen owner Anthony, Abhinav said, "Maine kisi ke paise nahi khaaye. I was quite a resourceful guy. I would get the college T-shirts, sweatshirts made and would get sponsorships for college fests. So that ways, I would earn my commission in a legal way. Main to rahisi se rehta tha, mere kamre mein cooler tha. Mere paasbike thi. In fact, I used to do part-time jobs. I was a sperm donor at Gauri Hospital. I might be having some six-seven kids in Delhi.
LOCKED UP THE PRINCIPAL FOR EXAMINATION TICKET
When students asked him about the most besharam thing he has done, Abhinav said, 'Teachers will get embarrassed hearing this. But I'd advise students not to do this. In the final year, I had only 13% attendance and I wasn't getting the examination ticket. We locked up the principal inside his room. At that time, there was no AC and it was quite hot inside. Unke room ke bahar hartal ki thi aur shor kiya tha, uske baad permission mili thi exam mein baithne ki.
I PROPOSED TO A LOT OF GIRLS
I am a very loving guy. I generously spread love. I proposed to a lot of girls, and those who accepted my proposal were lucky. Those who refused, didn't know what they were missing out on. I would take my girlfriends to the Ridge area and Lover's Point was a favourite hangout place.
I WANT TO BE THE IDOL OF OTHER PEOPLE
When are trying to operate in different segments. In fact, we are trying to run a mafia and take over entire Mumbai. Entertainment chahiye toh Kashyap brothers se aap bach nahi sakte."
