FILMI DREAMS: ACCOMPLISHED! Courtesy: BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA!

It happened one fine evening when I played a contest on a bollywood news website newly named from INDIA FM to BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA , with no expectations. I vividly remember it being a MEET N GREET SHAHID KAPOOR Contest wherein some random questions about Shahid had to be answered and me being a big time Bollywood buff, decided to try out my luck. And that's where destiny played its game and I won the contest and got to meet SHAHID KAPOOR! I had always been a person who visualised Bollywood stars to be just UNREACHABLE. That LIVE MEET experience proved me wrong!

..And then there was no stopping!.The LUCK and BOLLYWOOD game of destiny continued having BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA as the medium. Not 1... not 2... but a number of more such opportunities have been witnessed by me all thanks to the contests on this amazingly crafted website! The list of stars I have met through winning contests on their site includes:

1)Shahid Kapoor
2) Imran Khan
3) Neha Dhupia
4)Ranbir Kapoor
5)Shahid Kapoor-yet again for his Birthday Event!
5)Sonam Kapoor
6)HOUSEFULL Movie Team: Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal, Jiah Khan,Sajid Khan, Ritesh Deshmukh
7)John Abraham
8)Vivek Oberoi
9)Minissha Lamba
10) Amitabh Bachchan
11) Kalki Koechlin
12) Lastly.. Vidya Balan
Every star I have met, have had their own charm to be with. Not once have I felt some star be rude or annoyed at such fan events. Maybe its the BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA magic that works here as well!;)

Seeing my pictures with celebrities, people often ask me whether I have any sources through whom I meet these stars. All I can say is believe it or not, Not once, have I been to a meet and greet event without getting due respectable call for winning it. People get lucky once or twice, I got lucky as many as 12 times all thanks to just one website: BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA.The website people have never ever been biased towards calling me at events or anything such{Infact I know off late my few winnings have made me a big pain factor as obviously seeing me in pictures at so many events of the site would make people doubt the geniunity of the contests. TRUST ME!-THE CONTESTS AND THE WINNER SELECTIONS ARE 100 % GENUINE!!

I have been such a regular winner that almost every unit member of the event organising team at BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA now know me.{RYAN, MOSES, NIKHIL..and the list continues!} Not to forget, have also known one among the Best Bollywood Journalists : FARIDOON SHAHRYAR through BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA! He is among the best updater of the Bollywood events and also a great human being. I always make it a point to check updates on his blog, though have not been an active commenter there.

Not every contest on websites live upto what they actually claim the winning to be.BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA- Always does! I am not saying so just because I have been a winner of their contests-try it to believe it!..You might just get LUCKY...Even luckier than me!:)

Well my luck has given me everything I have desired and in this BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA has played no less than an ANGELIC role :).Obviously, there ought to be an end to it too. There is a world filled with people waiting to get lucky!...I dont want my luck to be an hinderance in their path. That's exactly why, I have decided not to be participating in contests of BOLLYWOOD HUNGAMA anymore.{Watch-out guys who play contests on the page!..U have one Lucky contendor less now ;) }
It has been a MAGICAL and UNIQUE, ONE OF ITS KIND EXPERIENCE, at every event I have attended of BOLLYWOOOD HUNGAMA. I hope and pray that the website gains worldwide popularity-It truly deserves it!:)

The only last words I would like to say are:
"BELIEVE IN YOUR LUCK ...
AND WAIT FOR YOUR DREAMS TO COME TRUE!"

WHEN I MADE ‘HER’ LAUGH…..11-02-2012

They say making someone laugh is a difficult job. It must ‘be 100 times more difficult to make someone whose laughter makes me skip a heartbeat, laugh over something. I never expected I could make MADHURI DIXIT laugh one fine day……And It So Happened Last Afternoon!!!!!!Here are the details of one among my most indelible experiences ever.

It was yet another lucky day for me. I WAS GOING TO MEET MADHURI DIXIT YET AGAIN! I won a contest on the page of ORAL B –INDIA on Facebook which would not have happened without those 100+ Likes on my picture. { Thanks a zillion to all my friends who liked that picture! I truly cant thank you guys enough!}

We were called at a Studio at FILMCITY at around 2:30 in the afternoon. The Rickshaw mistakenly took me to another Studio which was close to where the actual destination was. As I was about to get inside the studio I saw someone pass by me and get inside a car. I turned back and had a look again. It was KAREENA KAPOOR. I did not say anything and just stood there like a silent observer. By now I obviously knew that I was on a wrong studio. I decided to take a walk inorder to reach my actual destination.

Finally, once I reached the studio, I was asked to wait outside. The other winners of the contest {which includes 2 of my really good friends from the MADHURI DIXIT Fanclub- Smita and Harshada} were yet to come. Awaiting their arrival, I was taking a view of the entire surroundings and was able to hear some cheering sounds and claps going on inside the Studio. Smita arrived in a while. We patiently waited outside until we finally saw someone come out of the studio.

Yes! It was Her!....We stood there stunned by that aura of goodness and simplicity that she possesses. She did not notice us at this point of time. She was moving towards her van. As she moved closer to her van, some puppies surrounding the area were seen in plenty outside her van’s stairs. As soon as she saw them, she began playing with them. Her actions were so simple..so down-to-earth! I wish I could capture that moment on camera but I did not wish to spoil the scene. She then finally went inside the van and turned towards us, saw us fans standing there and finally closed the door.

I was still awestruck by what I just witnessed. To others it might be something very routine or normal. But for me, it was MADHURI DIXIT-The only Bollywood actress I have been a BIG FAN of since times I remember being in conscious minds!-Her every action was indeed bliss for me. I go numb whenever I see her or meet her. There’s some Madhuri Magic all around her which spells a charm as soon I see her anywhere around :)

Harshada reached the studio in a while. I removed all the letters I had to give Madhuri which were written by her fans which included Mohit, Sumalika, Suchismita, Komal, Aisha and few others. I had also made a card last night for Dr. Nene whos birthday followed on the coming day. The card had some funny edited pictures because of which I was apprehensive of actually gifting it fearing that Madhuri might not like it. We wrote the name of our fanpage on the card , removed our cameras, autograph books and pens and were ready for the ultimate joyride of our life-To Meet Madhuri Dixit FACE TO FACE{ This joy was witnessed by me 3 times earlier in the past year!}. We were told that Madhuri would come out of the van and meet us there.

The ‘Dhak-dhak’ beats of my heart just didn’t want to stop. They grew more intense rather. This was anyways nothing new.Whenever I meet HER, I shiver, fumble, crack out between words so I knew this was to come!:D ……..And then the moment arrived when MADHURI finally came out of her van.

The first words I remember saying were, “Hello Ma’am…..We are your Fans..do you remember our Empress fanpage on FACEBOOK? ”

To this she quickly recalled,”Ohh yaa yaa….FACEBOOK…..I know your group! Infact I even remember some of you”

She looked at me…and said ,”YOU!........I 100 % know you…U have met me before right?”

I laughed , nodded my head and said yes.

MADHURI DIXIT REMEMBERED ME!!!!. I could live the rest of life happily knowing this fact. :)

One by one, all fans were given a chance to meet her. The first person to meet was Harshada. She was drenched with sweat by now, thanks to the heat that afternoon. Madhuri asked her ,”Why are you so Hot??”. To which she replied, “I was waiting to meet you na..That’s why!” .And finally Harshada’s dream of meeting Madhuri also came true and she too was mesmerised by her warmness and affection towards her fans. While she signed for Harshada, I told her that all her fans want her back in a film . To this, she had nothing much to say just: “Maybe soon J” {I am hoping that Soon comes sooner………..I really cant wait to see her back on the Silverscreen!}

Smita looked totally blank even while capturing videos. Infact I myself was lost somewhere between my world of Dreams and Reality. Smita greeted Madhuri and also told her to wish Dr. Nene on his birthday which was the next day. She signed an autograph on a family picture of her’s for Smita. I again asked her , “Ma’am when’s the website coming?”. She said ,”Oh ya..its on its way..Coming soon :)”

Next to go to greet her was me. I took the marker pen from Smita’s hand who was still lost in another world. The first thing I gave Madhuri was my card for Dr. Nene. Along with my wishes for him, I placed the card, in her hand. She read the message on the first page and rolled over to the inside part.

The moment she saw the second page she laughed out loud. She also said to her stylist Shaina and others present there, “You must see this!! ” .”He is going to love this!!!!!”, she added speaking about Dr. Nene.She was still laughing. I just couldn’t get myself over the fact that I MADE MADHURI DIXIT LAUGH! It is a moment of bliss to meet her. That laughter was an icing on the cake. I remember explaining her why I made that picture on the card. I said that actually Mr Nene has those Hero'ish looks so I thought if I replace him in some posters, it would be a good surprise for him :D.I also stated that I would love seeing her and Dr. Nene in a movie together. She was laughing all this while. I would never ever forget this that I was atleast capable of making her laugh once in my life. THERE WAS NEVER A MOMENT LIKE THAT, EVER BEFORE IN MY LIFE :) :)

I then took an autograph of hers on a poster.She was signing it without asking my name. I asked her in excitement,"Ma'am...You remember my name?" .And she said, "Yeah..Nitesh..Rite?...Uhmm how do we spell it. N...I.T..E..S...H or N.I.T.I..S..H?".I said,"NITESH " , with a braod smile on my face which just didn't show any sign of disappearing. I then posed with her for a picture. Some other winners were still left. They too wanted an autograph. I guess the pen they gave Madhuri for the sign wasn’t working. Then she asked me, “Can I have your marker?” . I immediately gave it in her hand saying “Yes Sure Ma’am………” And once the autograph was given, she courtesly returned it back to me. JI also handed over the letters I had brought along. Before she went back to her van, I shouted again, “Ma’am…We are all waiting for movie! “. She smiled.

And this was how…I got lucky ONCE AGAIN!!!!! I HAVE BEEN REALLY REALLY LUCKY TO HAVE MET THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ON THIS EARTH {atleast according to me} AGAIN..AND AGAIN…..AND AGAIN……:)

If there is someone I respect after God and my parents , it would be that Angel: MADHURI DIXIT NENE!
