My obsession just increases... day by day am dreaming of him and about him, in all the looks from 1998 to present, in all avatars of films i saw so far and cid episodes i liked a lot or watched too many times.

Now am going to discuss how each role of his, in only those films i have seen, had an impact on me....

Bandit Queen (1995) - Thin like a piece of paper and frail looking, Adi entered in an unfashionable manner. Being used to the Abhijeet-Aditya, I was unprepared. But thanks to those who did warn, I was prepared for "some" scenes as well as his flogging. I watched the whole film and his role was negligible compared to the main actors, or rather the female protagonist. I had to watch some Asha era to assure myself he was okay....

Satya (1998) - Watched clips and scenes with him, not the whole film. Wow. A powerhouse performance. His familiar expressions and Ain! were there. And it was days before he entered our lives as Paresh then as Senior Inspector Abhijeet in CID. I think Satya is a kind of a turning point because he got noticed (thankfully). I loved him in whatever roles he had and he melted me simply in the scene where he witnessed his senior's murder. He deserves lots of credits....And his voice!! Whoa, at times it sound like Amitabh, its so unique!

Dil Se (1998) - As a terrorist, Aditya was rather superb. He was rather mysterious. Somewhere he was enchanting. Yes when he beat Srk, I didnt expect anything worse because ultimately the hero wins. I was actually concentrating on him, his looks.... I loved him and love him in whatever he does....

Saathiya (2002) - Forwarded the film right to the scene where he was playing the role of a young dashing ACP, and a friend of Srk's character. O my O my I rapidly just gazed on as he stood there in white shirt and black pants, hands in pockets, calm composed and cool. O! I loved him! Whether small by 5 minutes or not, I dont care. I loved him! I didnt care for anything else.....

Ek Hasina Thi (2003) - The wicked lawyer role was rather funny more than scary. He was like more Abhijeet in disguise or undercover role here. I simply adored him here. I know he character was corrupt etc. When I first watched the film, I wasnt aware about him nor did I recognize him. But l;ater I remembered, after reading that he was in this film. I remembered that I did like his role a lot!

Black Friday (2004) - One of the most poignant backgrounds, and one of the most poignant tales of a man forced into doing a crime. He was a victim of circumstances, this Badshah Khan, and who better than Adityaji could have portrayed him better? Adi made us actually feel for a man who was involved in the Bombay blasts. Even today I feel for the real man, fearing for his life. And Aditya sir portrayed his role so effectively. I hated many scenes of the film but tolerated them when I first saw the film just for his sake. He made me love him. Besides master of disguises, he deserves to be a master of expressions. Foe me KK Menon's character is just a policeman- for me Adi is the hero because he tearfully and willingly helped the police. I bow down to u Adiji, for being part of a very famous film..... and for being brave to act as a member of the gang, I salute your noble spirit.

Lakshya (2004) - Of course here he had small dialogues, and its my favourite film for other reasons as well. But whenever he is there, in whatever scene he is in, he looks dashing, quiet, calm and sweet. I loved it when I heard both the Allahabad original residents speak in one scene. For the first time I could distinguish clearly, (though I always do!) But it was a funny feeling. His presence was enough and thankgod his character was some kind of important in position, and thankfully his character wasnt killed (Amen. May the Kargil war heroes rest in peace- the song mere watan ki logo still rings in my head). That he was in a fantastic film seems to show that he is getting noticed and noticed and noticed. But I wish I saw him in Army formal uniform, not the ones worn in battlefield but the ones in smart green colour- He wud have looked sooooo handsome!

(sometimes I identify wt him (With Abhijeet actually).....)

Dansh (2005) - Stupid film with pathetic acting of actors. Poor Aditya's acting potential was not utilized. His character was supposed to be evil, but to me he became a victim. Both the actor and the character would have been really impact full had the director properly directed him. Adi is very gud wt negative roles and here it seemed the poor man himself became a victim1 However I loved him.

Alwar (Tamil) (2007) - Man he was so so good here as a ruthless cop! He was fantastic in police uniform. His acting was similar to Abhijeet but different of course- More ruthless, rough and extremely sharp. Thats Aditya for u. He was a rocker. I love the language even though I dont understand it, and it was funny to here him speak in Tamil. I loved him just loved him. It was here when I realised I can recognise him by looking at his mysterious eyes.....Charming.....

Gulaal (2009) - A film very violent and confusing. All actors including KK Menon were gud however. Of course our Adi sir was superb superb and superb. His negative best, his negative role at its highest. Sometimes it has positive shades. Aditya can carry out any role with applomb. Hey Master tussi great ho. Loved l;oved loved his role here. Dark, Mysterious, Charming, Enigmatic and Calculative- Adi at his handsome best.... Love you!

Kaalo (2010) - A cute film by my standards. Had it not been for Aditya, the film wud have been a goner- the director was so lucky to have got him in an otherwise really a half hearted amateur film. He was really really gud here!

Love u Adi Sir!

(A special mention-- HIGHWAY in Rishtey TV Series was really Aditya Sir at his Romantic best, at his Evil best, at his Humane-character best, at his All-Rounder Best!!)
