Well, Yes. Abhimanyu’s mind was filled with questions, though he did what was told to be done. “Ah! But Why?” He told:
“The first day I enter the Prithvi theatre, Mak Sir tells me to pick up a broom and clean the floor, that’s what he told me so, I felt really bad, I said what is this? I have come here to learn acting, not to swipe the floor. I did it, at the end of the day there was some kind of emptiness in me. I could easily see that I am becoming zero, my ego is melting away, that’s what Mak Sir wanted me to, to be completely blank.”
