There is an incident of Brahmanandam which he always remembers. This story is from the time when he was unknown and was trying to make his place on the big screen. One day he was going for a small comedy gig and on the way he saw a beggar. He put his hand in his pocket, but there was nothing in his pocket.
Brahmanandam said to the beggar, “Forgive me, I cannot give you anything, my pocket is empty.” The beggar laughingly replied, “Sir, both of our pockets are empty, but you have art which will fill your pockets.”
Brahmanandam was surprised to hear this. He kept the words of that beggar in his heart and used to enter every gig, every performance with the same hope and enthusiasm. With time, he taught that laughter and humor are also a strong weapon that can overcome poverty and difficulties.
