Vijay
today has proved that he is truly a fan's larger than life hero! Let me narrate
a very interesting anecdote that happened a few days back. I
frequent the Woodlands at the Narada Gana Sabha. N.G.S’s Woodlands can be more
or less referred to as a ‘walk in restaurant'. For quite a few celebrities
both from the world of music as well as the tinsel world after
the woodlands drive in’s closure this has served as a haven to relax in the evening over a dosa or
a piping hot cuppa filter coffee. The steps of N.G.S has served as an alternate ’marina’
to the stand up comedian and artist Bosskey and his team. Every evening for
the last 4 decades or so Bosskey and co sitting on the steps of N.G.S have
entertained all those who visit the N.G.S and woodlands and have had them in
splits of laughter!
Ever since
my memory can recall so has server PANDI by waiting tables at the
Woodlands and has been of service to not only so many music & drama lovers
but even to celebrities over the years but most of all is a die hard Vijay
fan. He had been expressing his one big desire in his life to all and sundry
over all these years. This was simply to have a photograph taken with his
matinee idol Vijay! Easier said than done! Yours truly the true Samaritan
that I am decided to give it a try! So a few days back I called up
Vijay's manager Ramu and put forward Pandi's request and after a few
more frenzied calls and deliberations with the actor’s manager. Vijay made
Pandi’s greatest dream come true! The rest is history! Pandi achieved his greatest dream in
life and is over the moon! And here’s why!
I was
really touched by Vijay’s gesture to oblige a fan’s request! Vijay has truly
risen in my esteem and I tip my hat to this actor and
a gentleman to have gone out of his way to please an ardent fan
of his without batting an eyelid! Hail! Actor Vijay!
Until
Next Time,
Director
