Ladies and gentlemen... boys and girls...
How are you all?
I, unfortunately, am not very good. When I came back last week to start shooting the next lot of episodes I was suffering from slight fever and cold. Over time it's got worse and now I have a severe case of laryngitis. I should have actually taken a day off but I couldn't as this is a daily bound sort of show. And we had a lot of episodes to finish for the next three weeks. Since I had a bad case of laryngitis, for a couple of episodes I might sound hoarse.
But now I am on my way to recovering really quickly. And in my blog today I want to thank you for it.
Yes Y-O-U.
All those messages that you have left for me only help me keep going and get better. I do make it a point to read your messages and since they are so many it does take me time to get through them. But please be assured that none of you are going unnoticed.
So whether you are from Mumbai or Delhi or Kolkata or Italy or Germany or the Middle East or UK or US or Canada or any other part of the world I want you to know that you matter to me. A lot.
Yesterday the team from Star showed me some ratings and numbers about how well KBC has been doing. But personally, I have always based my success on the public's reactions to me and my work. And even today that's what matters to me. I want to thank each of you for all the encouragement that you have given me in the past few weeks.
I have been enjoying and learning from all your de-stressing mantras– I just might try some of them in my personal life. Do keep coming back and leaving me messages – they make me feel really nice and also allow me to connect with you.
I will log off now but I do hope you have something tasty for dinner tonight coz I'll be dropping in! Lots of love
