The sunny side of fame
Fans don't always freak one out.TV star Sandeep Rajora is not daunted by his fans and has even talked to them on the phone
(As told to Bhavya Dore)
I haven't had any bad fan related experiences; it's been pretty smooth sailing for me so far. There's this really devoted fan of mine who has created this Yahoo! Group where people who like me can meet and chat. Two people handle the site, one from Canada and the other from Jamsehedpur. It's very touching to know that you are loved so much. All information about me, my pictures and trivia are stored on that site. This girl knows things about me that I barely know! Anything I need to find out about myself, articles that have been written about me and so on, I immediately refer to that site. You watch, even this piece will be printed there! It's been managed for the last few years and I am surprised by the levels of alertness, so much so it sometimes even freaks me out. There are about 100 members in that group and even if that hasn't increased my fan base it's certainly a platform for these people to meet. I have spoken a couple of times to the girl who started the site.Another really nice compliment that I was paid was at the bank where the girl at the counter said she forgot her bearings on seeing me. She said she didn't know what to do and forgot all about banking as soon as I entered! I thought that was very sweet.I'm not that popular, which probably explains why I don't have stalkers and things like that. You often get both ends of the deal- the good stuff and the bad that comes with being famous, but I've been lucky. I once got a call from this girl in Delhi who I thought was interested in speaking to me but she had actually called to ask me Juhi Parmar's number. Not only that, she was very rude when I told her I didn't have it! That, you can say is the closest I've come to the dark side of fame, and that's not much! Rajora plays Pran in Hey… Yehii To Hai Woh! and Tushar in Kareena Kareena. Fans can contact Sandeep Rajora through his Yahoo! group site groups.yahoo.com/group/sandeep_rajora4u
