I am not going to use any heavy english words here. This post is just a small, well something that might seem small for an entity like Shantanu.
Shantanu Maheshwari, 3 years ago, no one was even aware of such a person being there. I myself was not aware of anyone like him, but little did I know, this person was going to walk in and turn the television industry, so interesting.. đ
I don't know about others, but I myself am a very big hater of hindi serials. đ¤˘
But, I remember watching D3 in December 2011. The first episode I saw was KR confession one (I'm not a KriYansh fan. đ) I liked it. I found it cute, but did not get time to watch further episodes.
And the next episode I saw was the new year one.. Remember Swayam picking Sharon up in his arms?? The first person I saw on tv was Swayam, who I used to address as the cute guy.
And as luck had it, I fell in love with that person...the character...his small antics...his ignoring wala amazing attitude..everything about him, and I researched more on him on Facebook.. Tabhi I did not watch for SwaRon and as Swayam=Sharon, I started developing an interest in SwaRon as well.
When Sneha K left the show, I was disappointed but not nearly disheartened. I remember in those 3 months from October-December I used to watch D3 for my one and only purpose...one and only reason, Shantanu. I loved all his antics, I still do... And over a period of time, I became a big time fan of him. I used to drool over him, find his pictures amusing, yell at my bestie if she ever called him ugly...and so on...
Such is the charm of Shantanu Maheshwari...He's someone who cannot be described in one or two sentences..neither in words and although he might deny it, we all know he's perfect.
I have seen actors, met a few of them as well, and somewhere somehow they always have that air of egoism in them..somewhere they do take a shrewd advantage of being popular.. But look at this guy..3 years have passed...100 K followers...100 K lovers..He always appears the same.. From his first interview to the recent one... I have seen the same Shantanu... The same modest...the same funny...the same person...without any kind of what you call as egoistic attitude.. He might be a bit more open now, but he's still the same person from inside... That reflects in his way of talking...his charismatic charm...his demeanor..
I don't know about others, but for me, Shantanu is the best actor of D3 at present...He has grown as an actor tremendously...as a dancer, he was always THE BEST.
He's a flawless dancer, and I never shift my gaze from the tv screen when he dances... His postures, his style, his uniqueness is what differentiates him from all others..đł
Acting wise, he has come a long way.. .From being the majnu...the so in love, the guy who wasn't afraid to admit his feelings in front of everyone...the guy who subtly enough, removed the mask of arrogance from the girl he loved...whose love changed her...who cared for her deep down although he was ignoring her...the world's best boyfriend, and now the agonized one...Beautifully portrayed scenes...beautifully done...whether it is emotional ones, intense ones or romantic ones...all of them have been emoted PERFECTLY on his path...Shantanu Maheshwari has been able to portray all the shades of Swayam very very well..Not to forget the best brother ever, the best best friend ever...The person on whom someone can very well rely on...he's been flawless in portraying such shades of Swayam...Who would say that this is his first work on television?? Who would say that this guy was the same cutieee who had given an audition three years ago?? And look at him, he's certainly come a LONGGG WAY.
And this person is probably the only one who actually cares for the show no more than anything else, because I remember he put up a status to watch an episode of which he was not a part..Inspite of being injured with stitches, he did continue to work instead of taking rest...Shantanu has always given D3 all that he can..He has always been an integral part of D3 no matter what...He's always been that inseparable part of D3, without which the show actually becomes lifeless...
I don't know him personally (I wish I did) but from his interviews..it seems like he's the most genuine and the humblest actor ever. There's something...something in his charm...something in his persona which attracts people to him...He remains the unique one in a crowd..He stands out to be the best in group performances...He does everything with perfection and excellence... He's just the best.
The most special characteristic is the very fact that he's so cute...^_^ Sooo adorable <3 Just so perfect...Looks wise and attitude wish both...and his julfein He's such a lovable person!!
Shantanu, today if people are jealous of you, it's great. As a matter of fact you should be happy about it.. Why shouldn't people be jealous of you? After all you have an amazing personality, amazing charm, amazing acting skills, you are such a versatile dancer and over all a modest human being with so much of humanity.. People love you..!! You are just the best, Shantanu... THE BEST SOOO proud to be your fan... đł
