About me

Swapnil Chavhan

(Writer, Actor)

Being a storyteller,

Let me begin with a story,

Universe is a miracle. life is a miracle. Probability of universe formation is rare..hence probability of a planet formation that supports atmosphere and life is rare..Probability of an intercourse able to cause our existence is rare..fertilizing the egg and end up being the winning sperm is rare..hence I am rarest of the rare and hence one of my own kind. This is the story I believe in.. this is my theory, these are my beliefs.

I love books, listening and observing to the minutest of the details and hence might look like a lost introvert. I enjoy being introvert. The only moment I become an extrovert is while telling stories, talking about my concepts, discussing about secrets of universe and unknown. poetry comes to me naturally and so the listening to the unheard voices of nature and people. Stories about Relationships , Philosophy, science and spirituality attract me. disparity, cruelty , dishonesty and fake emotions make me feel low.

I am someone who is full of life, and never short of stories! loves thinking out of the box and always open for suggestions

As a writer there is nothing that I cant write as I want to write in all the genres , forms and mediums. As an actor I am always hungry to improve and like to surprise myself. I can be the difference between an otherwise ordinary looking concept and an outstanding masterpiece. I have the strategical thinking to understand and suggest what works where. Currently active as a writer in television as well as films.

Thats me! tell me what can I do for you!
