Ok Guys here's my detailed report! 😃 (Smithy style of course! 😉)
All I want to say is that THIS was my MOST WONDERFUL BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! 😃
No doubt Hemu is EXTREMELY TALENTED but he's also ABSOLUTELY DOWN-TO-EARTH! He was the sweetest person! He just doesn't make you feel like he has any airs at all of being that talented and famous! I don't think anyone who met him would've said anything otherwise! I have so many incidents to quote!
So starting from when he came....my first and most memorable incident 😃....He was walking by me when he just turns back and says to me "hey nice dress huh!" 😳 Can you believe it?? I mean the guy must be so busy with his stuff but still did notice and made it a point to let me know too! 😃 😳
My song was good...apparently it came out well 😃 Unfortunately Hemu didn't hear it coz he was outside but as long as the crowd liked it...it's all good! 😊
Hemu's show started with "duniya mein" from Don. Then he sang Ramta Jogi, Sabse Alag (his first Hindi recording), Kal ho na ho and then there was a break. Needless to say he had us floored as soon as he sang Ramta Jogi so we were just beyond impressed with him! 😃
Then he went back on stage to start with Nachinde chese chesey from Boss (his first BIG Telugu hit song), and sang Chand Sifarish, One love, Right here right now, and some other songs that I can't remember right now! 😕
Then there was another break...He was really tired though the poor thing...with his jet lag and all. In fact we had some time to chill backstage and he sat down and told me to sit as well 😃 And I think he realised that I was telugu so he at first started saying "I was" and then he said that "neeku telugu vocchu kada" (You know telugu right?)😃 and then went on to say "naaku stage meeda nidara vochesindi (I was feeling sleepy on the stage)". 😃 I thought it was so sweet of him to talk to me like he would with anyone else.
During another break in between he just asked me if I was ready to do the duet after the break and I said yes so he was going to check that with his manager just when I was telling him that it was such a pleasure watching him sing. So I just told the Aunty who organised this (who at the time was also standing with us) the same thing since he was walking away and he turns back on his way and looks at me and asks "PRESSURE?" 😆 (jokingly of course!) So I made sure I clarified that with him! 😉 Again I didn't expect him to be that comfortable esp since we knew how shy he was!
I got an autograph of his for all of us as well! Will post that along with the pics sometime later! 😃
The duet with him was not bad....he called me onto the stage but before he could say my name the music started so he apologised to me on the stage itself! And then he forgot the lyrics here and there but even his humming was so wonderful! And he just made me so comfortable on stage by smiling during the song and stuff.
He sang Deva devuda, a little bit of ye divilo vilisina paarijaatamu, Just chill, Dus bahane, MY ABSOLUTE FAV - Nahi saamne! and finally Where's the party from KANK which was a duet with my friend. In fact he even asked my friend to sing Just chill with him....that was such a huge honour for her coz he himself asked for her to sing it with him and wrote the lyrics out for her as well!😃
After it was all done he came over to tell my friend that everything was good and then he looks at me and says "I'm really sorry I screwed up your song (well it was OUR song technically 😛)....nenu words marchipoya (I forgot the words)". That again was well not necessary but he did so anyways! 😃
And finally at the end of the day we went to take pics with him and he shook hands with me which is when I think for the 3rd time in the day I told him that the next time he comes he has to sing Saathiya for me and he said he would DEFINITELY do so! 😃
I think I would be repeating myself if I said that Hemu was just an AMAZING singer but it was so WONDERFUL to watch him sing LIVE from BACKSTAGE! And what was even more wonderful is the fact that we got to spend time with him and realise what a WONDERFUL person he is! Singing with a person you admired for so long was pretty much a dream come true and it felt even more so knowing that he is such a nice person with a great head on his shoulders! Watching him being mobbed at the end of the day I felt so proud coz that's exactly all that we wanted for such an AMAZING person and singer!
I had an absolutely pleasurable experience tonight which I don't think I will forget in a loooong time! 😃
