Dear Harshad Ji,
Once again, I don't know how to put my extraordinary emotions into words.... would you believe, that I have never been what someone would call a 'fan' -- ever -- of
anyone.. before I saw you... You are an extraordinary actor, and an extraordinary person. Your humility, and 'genuineness', as one of your great fans so aptly put it, was like a fresh breeze in the cynicism of this increasingly hypocritical world. Your character of Prem, who you breathed life into, performing par excellence, was like a light of hope and courage in my bleak world.... I was very very down when I started watching your drama... and once again, I know you won't believe this when I say it... but I used to find the strength to get up every day, just to know, to see, to find out -- will Prem and Heer be together? Will Love win out over everything else....? And it did.... pouring joy into the hearts of all your fans, and Additi's fans, and Prem and Heer's lovers. :) Would you believe it if I told you that
I lived in you both in those days... I lived out lost hope in you,
your art,
your emotions,
your expressions... You and Additi -- Heer and Prem, who are in fact one and the same thing -- Love -- have found a place in my heart that I cannot let go of; you touched my heart in a way that few have... Because the sincerity in your
own personal character was what brought out the sincerity in Prem's love --- and we
believe in Love, because of you. And I hope, that it remains that way.
I wish you all the best for the future, I am
so thrilled that you have won this prestigious award... it's as if I won the award myself... and I think these feelings that we have for you show the amount of love that you have garnered from us... who are situated far and wide.. scattered, all over the world.. yet united in common human feelings, that you represent, as an artiste, and I hope you always keep this humility, sensitivity, and focus, and down-to-'earthness' intact, no matter what.. because that is what sets you apart... Unlike other celebrities, I feel like you are one of us, and that's why I can relate to you better than anyone else.
And if you would please forgive me for saying this.... but goodness knows if or when I will get the chance again.... if you find it in yourself... and I don't know what fate has in store for you, and I hope it has good things... but, if perhaps fate allows you, then please marry Additi. 😳 Thanks... and sorry 😳 but the fact is that you guys truly look made-for-each-other. Ummmm... I guess I should go now before I get a whacking. And I'm really sorry for stepping out of line, but just offering some sisterly advice. Umm... ok... I've said (more than) enough...
Dear Additi,
Your portrayal of Heer, and our journey with you thus far has been mindblowing. Heer is the epitome of Love, the symbol of the sublime winning out over all else -- showing what it truly is -- an illusion in the face of Love... an illusion of clay, wiped out by the Truth of emotion -- pain being the most sincere of emotions perhaps... being the key to finding the value of Love, the purity of Love, the sincerity of Love... unbreakable, everlasting, eternal... the only thing that truly matters.... Being Heer, is a great thing. Not much else needs to be said.
We saw the star in you burning so bright during those bleak days when Prem apparently died -- your performance was absolutely
mind-blowingly accurate -- the intense unbearable pain written in your empty searching eyes, your parched lips, your agonized voice... the confusion of an apparently lost trust -- the disblief in an apparent reversal of a promise of Fate itself --- a promise that just
could not be broken --- it was you,
you were the show... you were everything Prem and Heer both stood for --- Heer didn't believe Prem to be dead.... and neither did we.... For an actor so young, in age, experience and career... your performance during those days was just --- just--
superb.... and you truly blossomed, going from strength to strength.. and I hope you continue to do so... I am glad that you have started your career with 'Heer'... the Heer... and to tell you the truth, one reason I felt comfortable watching your serial was because of the simplicity and modesty of Heer, and the modesty of the characters.... unlike other serials... where I have heard and sometimes seen that people sometimes cross the line.. but here, with Prem and Heer, I feel safe :)
One thing I have still not been able to figure out though is how the gentle cool calm collected lamb that is Prem, finds it within himself to slap you -- not once but twice!.... That was quite out of character I thought.. and I think you should speak to Prem about it :)
I wish you the best in future, and please let me take this opportunity to tell you, that I, as many others will also tell you, consider you to be one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. (Nazar na lagay). Stay the fun-loving happy person that you are.
Many many congratulations. And please convince Harshad to think about what I said. (Also I am sorry if this is offending you in any way, in advance -- truly... I mean you no hurt or irritation of any sort) Just advice from an older sister :)
Best,
HeerKiMeher ;)
(As in your sister :D )
