Infact, in a strange twist of the tale, we hear that Angad, who essays the 'lead' role in Rajan Shahi's Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai bumped into a fan who is similar to the character that Angad plays in the daily Star Plus show.
The twisty tale continues because we hear that the fan seemingly is on a road to recovery after bumping into Angad and spending some time with the actor. Unlike other actors who walk with a chip on their shoulder, Angad enjoys spending time with his fans. "I am here because of them. And I love spending time with them and listening to their feedbacks. You could probably call it a motivation to work a notch harder."
"When I came face to face with a fan who more or less was like my character, it was a sense of deja vu. It felt nice to be with some one who has become my alter ego of sorts. Yes, it is uncomfortable when the fan following turns into adulation, but at some level, when this particular fan came up to me and we bonded on the sets in Agra, I felt very humble."
"Cliched it may sound, but, when I can make a minuscule difference in someone's life, I feel good."
The Shahi camp is churning out boys with deep seated values! There's no doubt on that...
