Back in college i was crazy about Abhishek Bachchan.. somewhere around the time Dhoom, Dus, Zameen, B&B and a few others released. I never missed his movies, sat in the front row, (yeah, girls in Pune do that) and god knows how many movies my roomies and Anant have suffered even though they hated him ...just for me. Infact, Ant and Aparna went around the theatres, telling the managers that their six year old niece loved AB Baby and it was her b'day and thats how i got four Junior AB huge posters in ma hostel room.
So...hope that gives you an idea about how much i liked him. And if still not sure about how crazy my family can get regarding the Stars, read this- my mom and her sisters went on a fast when Big B was critically injured during Coolie.
So..... I am a journalist now..... A SENIOR BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT. i now get kicked about meeting Kishore Biyani, Kumaramangalam, Yash Birla, Anand Mahindra and the likes.... Have also come across the whoz who of Bollywood. And today.... i saw him. My heartthrob of college days (which aint so long ago). Heart skipped a beat... but thats it. I went about doing my thing, asking my questions to the Company people (He was there as the brand ambassador), acting all serious and responsible... yet noticing his mannerisms.. his smile.. the naughty expressions...
But still... am a little sad. I should have been the old me... who would have got excited at all of this... done something wild and stupid...n thn told the whole damn family about my adventure.... And made 'the day i met abhishek bachchan' a memorable day. i aint 'starry eyed' anymore but i wish... i wish i was..... coz its nice to be a child sometimes.... and be lost in that world of innocence. Wat say?
