THINGS LIKE THIS DON'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY -
It was just another normal autumn morning. I entered the bus to work. The bus was nearly full. I headed towards the only empty seat at the rear side of the bus. A gentleman was sat on the window side of the seat who moved aside to make place for me to sit. I sat by his side and then looked at him to just smile and thank him.....and OMG!! What do I see???? The gentleman was none other than ARJUN RAMPAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was gobsmacked!!! I coudnt believe my eyes...jsut kept looking at him...wondering if it was really Arjun Rampal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....OMG !! OMG!!!! It was indeed AR!!!!! What a morning!! Once in a lifetime kind of thing.......
AR: Hello
ME: uh..He..hello ...Are you...uh...uh...emm.... Arjun Ra..uh...ampal?
AR: ( smiling) yes I am , Thank you for recognising .
Me: ?????????? ...uh..uh......no one who watches bollywood movies will have difficulty in recognising you. Are you really Arjun Rampal??
[ foolish question, I know....but I still could not believe I was sat next to Arjun Rampal...one of the best looking Indian man...OMG!!]
AR: :)...:).....why don't you believe ?
Me: ......eh......not usually celebrities travel by bus like this.....
AR: why not? are we not normal human beings?
Me: certainly you are normal...but ...er..em....
AR: What's your good name?
Me: I am Always Happy
AR: I am AR. (Shakes hands with me)..Glad to meet you.
Me: Shakes hands with AR
(trembling...still couldn't believe my eyes....at the same time thanking God for this day....for the first time in 5 years I felt good about living in England...cant imagine sitting next to Arjun Rampal in a bus in India.....AR would have been surrounded by millions of fans by now if it was India...AR would not have spoken to me like this....thank u God...thank you)
Me: Where are you going, if I may ask?
AR: Just going to Leicester Square to meet an old friend
Me: Ah..I c. Are you shooting for a film?
AR: Na, I am here on a short holiday.
Me: I see.
I asked for AR's autograph and then got one of the co passengers to click a photo of me with AR on my mobile phone camera. I wouldn't miss this opportunity for anything.....such things don't happen everyday.
Silence prevails.........
