"Normally, I don't drink more than a glass of wine but during this particular scene in LMKK, I was required to be intoxicated, break down and scream at my older brother played by Mohnish Belhl.
It was an intensely dramatic and emotional scene. So I asked Vikram if I could actually get drunk and enact the scene Vikram didn't exactly welcome the suggestion. He was a bit sceptical and thought I would forget the lines but asked me to go ahead. I gulped down a bottle of wine in half an hour and was soon quite high.
It helped me to slur my lines though I was in my senses.," says Dino.
Dino says he's a emotional guy who is not afraid of showing off his soft side. When asked about the last time he cried, he admits, "It was about 10 days ago but it's too personal to talk about.
After getting high, I've broken down emotionally a number of times. I look macho from the outside but from inside I am quite weak. When I first came to Mumbai and was staying in paying guest accommodations I just sat down and cried my heart out. I didn't know what to do.
I had no one to turn to for advise. I was all on my own." Dino says he never smoked or drank in college. "I was the bad boy but I never liked alcohol or smoking.
