"Babu moshai, mere fans mujhse koi nahi cheen sakta"...Unveiling Of Mr Rajesh Khannas Statue At Taj Lands End, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
This morning I was invited by Dimpleji to share the familys happiness in unveiling of the bronze statue for UTV Stars Walk of the Stars at Taj Lands End Bandstand.
Later the statue will be placed along with other stalwarts at Bandra Band Stand , legendary great names that have contributed to the humility , hope humanity of Bollywood..
I sat with Bala Mr Rajesh Khannas man Friday, we two looked like lost pilgrims , without our mentor , Kakaji, and his voice , his quotes his love for both my grand children Marziya and Nerjis is what now is part of dreams memories ..
My grand daughter Nerjis was 8 month old used to crawl and when she visited Ashirwad the first time .. Kakaji called her to him , and Nerjis caught hold of the sofa and coolly walked towards him something as miraculous and unbelievable , but Kakaji had that power in his voice he could move mountains if he wanted too..
I was lucky to shoot this event from the sideline , and I made the most of it , and I was dressed normal.. for this auspicious occasion..
Ms Dimple Kapadia who is fiercely protective of her family , let the media see her strength , her resolve , she carried the whole show on her shoulders , and honestly it was her show all the way , the greatest tribute of love dedication and honor ..everyone was touched by her words ..this charming dainty lady in a crisp designer saree .. was the toast and the host..
There was a galaxy of star and I reminded Hemaji , that I had made her police uniform in Phansi Ke Bad where she starred with Shatruji in this Harmesh Malhotra film.
I met Chintu Sab Mr Rishi Kapoor ,, he studied at Campion I studied at Tinpot Holy Name High School.. and he took my card .. asking me to meet him soon.
I met Jeetu Saab who used to stay at Usha Sadan Wodehouse Road those days when I stayed at Khatau Bhuvan.. and he has never forgotten his roots ..
Farhan Akthar was giving the longest interview.. hounded by media from all sides ..I shot Jackie Dada my old Bidu from Teen Batti we have some old memories too.
Pehlaji and Ms Punam Sinha were there , she told me not to take her pictures while she was eating and the most gracios person was Mr MK Anand MD UTV Stars ..
I had a soup , skipped the buffet dropped Bala at Ashirwad and headed home ..
And so I shall talk less .. let my pictures talk in the lyrical silence of Anand ..
