<span class=normal>Omkar Das Manikpuri (Peepli LIVE) <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>In the month of July and August the whole nation was concerned about the fate of one man named Natha. Kya Natha Jeeyega Ya Marega became the hot topic of discussion among one and all. Even as the nation got gripped by the Natha frenzy, the man at the centre of it all, Omkar Das Manikpuri (who played Natha in Peepli LIVE) remained unfazed. Hailing from a small village of Chhatisgarh, Omkar has been an active part of Habib Tanvirs folk-theatre company. But never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that he would go on to become a household name and face thanks to his lead role in an Aamir Khan production. This diminutive actor surely had all his dreams fulfilled (even that of meeting actress Deepika Padukone) courtesy Peepli LIVE which would always be a turning point in his career. We cant wait to see more of this powerhouse of talent.</span>
