This is what everybody calls a real fan. A woman flew all the way to Mumbai to return the umbrella of Abhishek Bachchan, a top actor of Bollywood. I am quoting from the report published in Reuters:
“The fan, a young woman working at the airport in the South African coastal city of Durban, met popular film star Abhishek Bachchan as he prepared to fly to India recently, the Times of India daily reported.
The two chatted for a while before Abhishek boarded his plane to Mumbai, forgetting his umbrella, it said.”
Abhishek Bachchan, a thirty year old actor, is the son of Amitabh Bachchan, the movie icon of Bollywood. Abhishek’s mother Jaya Bhaduri is also a famous actress in the 1960’s. Her film career started at the age of fifteen working in Satyajit Ray’s film “Mahanagar.” Naturally, being born in a family of acting, Abhishek followed his parents’ footsteps. His first film was ‘Refugee’ by J.P.Dutta. The movie was not successful but it brought him the nomination for “Best debut” in 2001. He struggled for four years and then proved his talent in ‘Yuva’ in 2004. Now he is one of the successful actors of Bollywood and his recent movie Kavi Alvida Na Kehna (Never say Good Bye) is reported doing well in the box office.
I found in a website that the distance between the two cities (Durban-Mumbai) was 7020 km. Are you a fan of any actor or actress? How far would you travel for returning an umbrella? Me! I would not go even 10 kilometer. What about you?
