Superstar would definitely be a person who had an extraordinary impact on your life,the way you think and the way you behave,giving you some reason to beleive in, something to look upto and also motivation to do something creative and constructive.
1) My childhood superstar and now nothing less than God,Sachin Tendulkar has always been a motivation and an individual who,with his special talent made millions smile,I remember when he use to score runs,people use to say "Aaj din bangaya"irrespective of how bad the day was for them in reality,but his success brought smiles and joy giving fans a reason to celebrate.Even I did.
2) Madhuri Dixit,my first crush as a kid or teenager,first signs of following your fav
superstar from entertainment and in those days it was more of collecting post card posters and hiding them from parents becasue they would shout for this act or even if they would not,I was very shy to express I loved Madhuri Dixit.
3) Kajol.she was my only female superstar till Drashti Dhami arrived as Geet on small screen,my love for Kajol was more becasue of her acting skills and her strong personality and particularly the way she has managed her personal and professional life and is a succesfull actress who is also a great house wife.
4) I was always into sports,footbal is my passion and I was introduced to it by David Beckham
"Only after watching bend it like Beckham" I came to know what English football is all
about,year 2003 till date and I am a die hard Manchester United fan and for me the craze is on par with that for Indian Cricket team.
5) Hrithik Roshan,when Kaho naa pyaar hai arrived,,Hrithik Mania was all over India and I still remember watching Kahoo naa in Rahul theatre ( Pune) an actor with perfect looks and exceptional talent had arrived and suddenly guys were found more in Gyms and also polishing their dancing skills,dancing to tunes of Ek pal ka Jeena got me alot of recognition in school and junior college but more than that it was Hrithik's shere determination and acts in Lakshya which made him a SuperStar for me.
6)Aamir Khan,the name in himself defines what cinema and entertainment is all about and no need to describe the impact he and his films have had,a perfect blend of art and commercial success with a message in most of his films.
7) Drashmeet,an over statement or definition,well despite so much talked and unnecessary link ups,I feel what has clicked is "Drashmeet" both when seperate are great and too good,but when together are exceptional,so good that the best known couples would admire them and say "what a pair"
I have mentioned all those names because Drashti Dhami finds herself standing tall amongst the greats in this list,my credibility as a fan to define the list and make Drashti Dhami a part of it might not be defined, but my choice of superstars will give an idea about the credibility and potential of this young and very vibrant actress Drashti Dhami.
Irrespective of what happens with Geet as a series,because the recent episodes disappointed me alot and I thought Drashti's image as an actress was not complemented and so was her character Geet.
But as an actress she is certainly someone special,becasue she makes you fall in love when she smiles,when she cries,when she talks and when she connects through eyes with Maan as Geet and her pairing with Gurmeet is just beyond description,how addictive one can get when they come together onscreen is beyond my capability to define it,becasue of lack of proper vercab.
But like all those superstars,she had an impact on my life too,though to start with a
personal reason but now its only her potential which makes me call her a superstar.
Drashti without anydoubt has that talent which is very similar to what Madhuri and Kajol had and provided that she gets some decent and decisive characters to play as,she will be no where lagging behind the standards set by the former two and she has already proven that with Geet.
She as Geet has given moments to cherish and archive for ever in our hearts and Guru's contribution is no where lagging behind,together they have made fan's bad day turn good and make them feel "Aaj din bangaya" when something very passionate is shown involving Guru and Drashti.
She is already the most followed female TV star and this would have been impossible if she did not had that 'X' factor in her.
Oppurtunity is very crucial and Drashti Dhami needs more of these to give Bolly dollies a
run for their place.I wont say others dont have it in them,but Drashti has a bit more and that bit more becomes alot more when she is with Guru.
As Geet with Maan,they are the only reason to watch Geet( which is one Golden era in the darkness spread by daily soaps) and a major reason to sit and write and motivate the makers to do justice with Geet.It would be unfair if I dont mention Guru's name becasue without him as Maan,Drashti is incomplete as Geet and together they have mananged to do which will always be remembered in years to come.
Lots of love,passion,motivation and support not just from me but also from my family members to you our only female superstar.
Keep rocking Drashti and surely you are my sweetheart,whom I will be supporting and even criticise but only constructive criticism.
Unknowingly you along with Guru have helped me alot and it is nothing less than a favour,unknowingly celebrities do alot for their fans and this article is only my way of conveying thanks and gratitude.
With best wishes and lots and lots of love and appreciation,
Gaurav Nayyar.
