| BLAME IT ON YASHRAJ has just had its 100th show. We speak to Bharat Dabholkar, the man behind the production; a man of various talents, who also unabashedly created his own, popular idiom of theatre that we call ''Hinglish''.

Who was Bharat Dabholkar before he became the famous adman and the maker of the 'Hinglish' theatre comedy? What were the early days like?
Bharat Dabholkar (BD): I did my schooling in a Marathi medium school.
I later graduated with Honours in Economics and Sociology/Anthropology and got a Degree in Law with specialisation in the interpretation of Law. There was Business Management Training at Forbes, with Forbes Campbell and allied companies.
I joined Dacunha as a copy writer and for client servicing.
