QUESTIONS BY RAKSHA
ANSWERED BY ME
1.How exactly did you get the idea of creating an FC for Harshad..
Well we were active on the LRL forums when the show startedâŚWe had no idea about these Fan Club'sâŚOne day Yoj made a new FC of Harsh in August 2007 and posted the link on the LRL forumsâŚWhen we visited the FCâŚThe moderators closed it saying that Harshad FC already existedâŚWe got the link of the FC that was made in 2006 where members had just come and said hi but never discussed anythingâŚSo that FC was inactive for 1 yearâŚWe activated it..But still didn't get many members thereâŚThe first page was very plain and we could not also edit it..We felt restricted thereâŚso we requested the moderators to close that FC when it was on page 60 or so , and allow us to make a new oneâŚSo that was itâŚwe took permission from the person who had made the first FCâŚAnd then we were finally allowed to open one during August 2007..
2. What was Harshad's role during the first FC...does he know about its existence???
Ya Harshad knows about the existence of his FC's since day oneâŚI mean since the day I started itâŚWe did tell him and he was very eager to see itâŚHe always thought that no body liked him, he has no fans and no one appreciates his work in LRLâŚ.We told him what the truth was and how we were looking forward to get in touch with him atleast onceâŚThe other LRL stars used to interact a lot via sms's and emails and messages on the forumsâŚBut Harsh never didâŚHe once gave out his email id on the Indiatimes chat but never checked it cause he thought that no one wud mail him..âŚSo that id expireâŚ.
His role in the first FC was that he read each and every page of that FC, leaving us highly embarrassedâŚ.
3.What was the happiest moment so far ( we know more to come though)
Hmm happiest moment for the FC??? If yes, then every moment has been happyâŚCause he has never missed a single FCâŚThe best part is that he reads every line on the first page and then never forgets to comment tooâŚYa one of the best moment can also be the time where he gave a written message twice for the FCâŚ
4.What was the lowest???
When the FC was inactive during January-March in the beginning of this yearâŚI dunno why but all the members just leftâŚYoj too had quit for some timeâŚI thought that , that was the end of itâŚWe didn't know what to talk..what to do..since we hardly had any membersâŚ.Harsh had quit LRL then and was going through a lean patch professionally tooâŚI guess it took us more than 2 months to finish a FC at that time..
5.What's the role of Harshad in the current FCs??
His role is to visit it frequently..sometimes 2-3 timesâŚremember the number of pages we had finished last and the theme and then comment..
6. Can you please give an insight into the old members of the FC, who have been its support system ever since Harshad's Ali days..?
As u knowâŚ.Yoj..SwatiâŚVaishu were always thereâŚ
We then had 2 guys Mannu and NishantâŚMannu has quit IF, Nishant no longer visits the FC I guessâŚMaybe he is busy with his studiesâŚMannu used to upload videos and pictures for usâŚNishant's work was to basically pull our legs and Harshad's tooâŚ
We had 2 Arjun Bijlani fans, Dia and RaniâŚwho used to visit our FC and just liked being hereâŚWe never had ardent fans of Harsh on our FC actually apart from we fourâŚ
Ya we had Gauri who was a fan too..âŚ.Gauri was like one of the biggest fan of Ali /Harsh, but never very active hereâŚâŚAnu was there too but she again was never an active memberâŚOthers like I said used to come here and post, they liked Ali but were not his biggest of fansâŚ
Kiran DiâŚSubhaâŚKanakâŚDia..AshiâŚRakshitaâŚSarika
And how can I forget VanduâŚwho is always there for me whenever I need herâŚ
6. Can you please give an insight into the current active members ??
Aww the new membersâŚwhat do I sayâŚI would like to say that the FC has never witnessed such a phase beforeâŚHad it not been for the new membersâŚthis FC would have been historyâŚAfterall what can 2 members do with a FC..âŚ
Sabse pehle a hugeee hug to Sarah..Mehndi..Zuman who came to our FC as new members when Prem hit the screenâŚand they really gave a boost to our FCâŚI mean had it not been for themâŚThe FC would have been shut downâŚSeriously thanks to them for sticking around with us since March 2008..It was all because of them that we won 2 major contests too..
Then a hugee hug to all our new and active membersâŚ.(If I can add sane and mature too)âŚ.Wasima, Priya, Bhavna, Chotu Priya, Raksha, Payal, Zainab, Misty, Sidra, Nandini, Atop, Yasmin, Neha, Alina , Reva, Mona, Rohini, Avneet, Sara, Nina, Now Amy and I hope I didn't miss any namesâŚ
Every member here has contributed in some way or the otherâŚBe it posting pictures videosâŚsiggiesâŚavi'sâŚanalysisâŚ
We have such talented members on board
NandiniâŚU just have to ask her for a videoâŚShe never says ''no''âŚ.Makes sure that we see every video on air on HarshâŚI guess if I have all the videos of Harsh in SBS, SPA âŚits all because of NansâŚAnd ya the DL links of the episodesâŚI know some people who dont even read ur PM's when we make requestsâŚBut Nandini is someone who has always been there for usâŚ.A hug to u Nans
SarahâŚOur most cutest memberâŚTakes the pain to post amazing pictures of Harshad for us from the episodesâŚ.And how can I forget her amazing VM'sâŚ.I can never forget the ones she made during Harshad's b'dayâŚHe too loveddd themâŚ.And I have also not come across such a sincere and an ardent fan of Harsh like SarahâŚThe things she does for him is unbeleivable and each time she surprises me with her immense love and support for HarshâŚSarah I loveee uâŚ
MehndiâŚ.What do I say about this small wonder we haveâŚJust 16 and a store house of talentâŚI think I have 200 siggies and avi's all made by MehndiâŚand our last 15-16 FC's have been having siggies made by her all the timeâŚMehndi I know I cant say thanks but u deserve a hugâŚ.Ya your videos avi's too deserve a special mentionâŚAnd Mehndi too is someone who will neve say a NOâŚJust request anything and she comes up with a creation within a few hoursâŚYou are missed MehndiâŚBut then studies come first..
SaraâŚ.My bestest buddy who is the most sensible person out hereâŚWill not just say anything just for the sake of sayingâŚShe is very honest and will downright say if she does not like anythingâŚThough I too have not interacted with u much personallyâŚI find a friend in you with whom I could discuss so muchâŚAnd all our discussion we had on the FC initially was outstanding and fun..Right from the ''Prem planets'' to the ''Prem uncle'' discussions, and teasing MehndiâŚI cant tell u how much I miss uâŚ.Please come back soonâŚ
SidraâŚI know we didn't quite instantly gel with each other when u came into this FC initiallyâŚI guess there was some kind of reservationâŚ.I dunno what the reason wasâŚMaybe we old members knew each other and were discussing stuff and u felt left outâŚ.But chalo u again came here as an active memberâŚ.U became comfortable here and now I guess the FC is dull without uâŚOnly u can make the weirdest of observations and make us just sit and thinkâŚHahahahaâŚthanks for spreading so much cheer and joy here..
Zainab..Aww did I tell how much I love uâŚI didn't even know u personally when I met u for the first time on the forumsâŚand the way u showered love on me and Yoj was sooo overwhelmingâŚI remember telling someone that you are the most sober and the sweetest person I have ever metâŚThere was this instant connection and I am so glad to have u hereâŚAs everyone saysâŚYou are the sweetest person I have met and also the best human being⌠Love u..
RakshaâŚI still remember ur first PM to me where u didn't know anything about Harsh and wanted to know about his shows and allâŚI dunno but I can see that level of maturity when I read your messagesâŚThough you can sometimes be extremely funny..Love reading your messages and u guys never miss out a single message and make it a point to reply to everythingâŚAm so happy to have u here in our Harsh familyâŚOur VIP member and our only ''IF Veteran Mmeber'' *proud face*And did I tell you how special you make me feelâŚAgain an outstanding friend with a heart of gold..

And a thanks and hug to all our other members who have been so vital for the functioning of our FCâŚ.Had it not been for u guys.. The FC wud not have been the sameâŚ
I am sooo SORRY if I missed any memberâŚ
7.What was the silliest discussion that happened??
Gosh that's toughâŚCause we always had so many silly discussionsâŚ.I guess when Swati was around last yearâŚshe used to post such hilarious messages and captions naâŚThat one couldn't help but ROFLâŚAnd the best or the worst part was that Harsh read itâŚI will post some here..U guys will go insaneâŚHehehehehâŚThat's how Harsh knows about Swati and her humour
8.Any special mention of a particular event which brought the members more closer to each other??
When Harsh quit ADâŚ.I guess u did read Zainab's message as to how overwhelming support he got on the forumsâŚOn the FC tooâŚthough the messages were few...The FC was brimming with support for himâŚThen when we went through a lean phaseâŚwe never lost faith in himâŚAnd all those terrible articles published against him during that timeâŚ
And how can I forget this recent article by Lalwani which brought us closer to such a level that now I guess these journalists will think twice before saying anythingâŚShows the power of fans..
9.Anything embarrassing that you wished Harshad didn't see or read about??
ManyyyâŚThe captions we had on his pictures (Though he saw that many times)âŚThe bekhandes discssuions members have these daysâŚon the anda scene and the bizarre observations made and the pictures posted (Read:-The ''egg'' scene..''Water'' scene) and many moreâŚSomething which just makes me hide my face to save myself from embarrasment..
10. What was the most trying moment???
To make a new FC each timeâŚselect a theme and live up to the expectations of everyone here..Though I thoroughly enjoy what I doâŚSo its not actually a trying momentâŚBut sometimes I get nervous when I don't have anything in mind
And ya last year it was to keep the FC alive when no one was around..
11. What was the most hillarious moment??
There have been many hilarious momentsâŚOnce we had a ''caption contest'' and we could not help but just laugh and laughâŚSome captions were too funnyâŚHahahaâŚAnd then when the entire ''night gang'' or the ''mad gang'' meetsâŚThe FC turns into a laughter zone where things really go out of handâŚI still remember that day when Payal just ran away from here and I had to go and hide my faceâŚHahaha
12. Which is the fastest FC??
We finished one FC in 4 days flatâŚ.Thanks to Sarah for thatâŚHeheheheâŚSorry don't exactly remember the FC numberâŚIt was after Prem hit the screen and u guys weren't hereâŚMaybe 12th or 13thâŚNot very sureâŚWe had finished one FC in 5 days tooâŚAgain thanks to Sarah for that.
And how can I forget FC # 26, IF had a new format thenâŚ1500 posts per FC and we finished that in 4 days which was a super recordâŚI still maintain that, that was one of our bestest Fan Club'sâŚIt was a laughter riot..
13. Did Harshad participate in any discussion ever??
No neverâŚHe has just been a silent spectator cause he likes it that wayâŚYa but he did read messages where he saw his fans mentioning about the roles they wud like to see him inâŚ
14.Are the members asking for it??
Hmm didn't get any requests as suchâŚBut I guess you guys do want to see him hereâŚ.
15. What kind of discussions usually happen there??
Sometimes ''bekhande''âŚsometimes hilariousâŚsometimes we are too seriousâŚand write things which make lots of senseâŚwe don't like one linersâŚwe don't like Hi's and Bye'sâŚand don't spam the placeâŚ.Sometimes if the girls go beserk then its tough to handle themâŚsometimes they get so serious that we need to pep them upâŚBut I can proudly say that Harsh FC is the only place where actually people discuss things rather than finding ways of filling the pagesâŚwith a Don around how is that possibleâŚHahahahaâŚ
16.One last question, what was the state of the FC on the day the now popularly known to be Ande episode was telecast???I mean, how maturedly the members handled the scene???Did you wish Harshad was there reading the discussion??Please feel free to elaborate on this...
One word....''BIZZARE'' I was actually stunned to see the kinds of thought that can cross in the minds of some members here
Some sane members ran away from the FC there and then..
NO WAYS....I wud never want Harsh to ever read those messages...and I know he wont...They are already lost
