Dream come true
Intro.
DEEPIKA and SRK the heart throb of our nation. Meeting them was our only dream. The only thing
we wished and prayed for everyday without failure… we had desired that there
will be a day when we will proudly say DEEPIKA and SRK knows us. And that day is HERE. Our strong desire, love
for them and wish of doing anything to meet them made that possible.
DEEPIKA ans SRK means world to us. It’s not
just for name sake but true. We spend days talking about them. Our chats only
move around them.
25th Dec 2012
Jinisha :- A normal day.. India vs.
England 1st T20 going on 20
Dec 2012 and Yuvraj suddenly see’s SRK & DEEPIKA at the stadium. As usual
informs me immediately. Then he gets to know that the stadium is near Puna.
Which is 255 kms away from Kolhapur(we stay here). Then we get to know that
they are shooting here in WAI ()59kms) for CHENNAI EXPRESS (CE). And that’s it.
DEEPIKA and SRK together are so close to us it was impossible for us to resist
our self from trying and meeting them. We discuss n plan out when to go? How to
go? Etc. And finally decide 25th
Dec it the day. I was at my native place KANKAVLI (110 km away from KOLHAPUR).
I caught the first bus to come to KOLHAPUR at 7. All the way my mind spinning
thoughts, dreaming, visualizing what’s going to happen next and how will the
day turn out to be. Headphones plugged in all DEEPIKA’s songs in my playlist newspaper
in my hand and I scribbling over it DEEPIKA DEEPIKA DEEPIKA and lines that suit
her the best or describe her. Exchanging calls and texts with yuvraj knowing
where is he upto with the plans. Finally a journey of three and half hours
comes to an end and I reached KOLHAPUR by 10.30am. Yuvraj still struggling with
the bike as petrol gets over. We meet at 11…….
Yuvraj :- 20th Dec 2012 India vs.
England 1st T20, as always Twitter on PC n Match on TV...
Unexpectedly I saw Deepika n SRK in the stadium… Me hurrying to tweet about
it., but found that all the FC’s had just tweeted about it :p… As usual texted
Jinisha, chatted for a while... Suddenly
realized Stadium is in Pune ..Pune is 233Kms away from Kolhapur hardly 4hrs by
road… So I was sure that the shoot location must be near Pune., so I Tweeted to Fc’s @deepikapfc and @thesrkfc1 asking where the Shoot for CE
is going on .. and Luckily the @thesrkfc1 replied “Currently shooting in Wai”.,
and Wai is just 159kms from Kolhapur.
That’s it texted Jin and decided that we’ll go for sure.. Jin had to go
to Kankavli n return so gave a 4 day gap n decided to go on 25th Dec
hoping Santa would gift us what we wanted..So on 25th Jin was
supposed to arrive at Kolhapur 11:00, I was ready at 7 o clock in the morning
(too much excited) .. Left Home at 10 and in excitement forgot the petrol…
After going a few Kms the bike stopped and had to push the bike for almost
1.5kms to reach a petrol pump… Totally exhausted before even starting the
journey… Got the petrol and at last meat Jinisha at 11… and the Journey
began…….
Chocolates for SRK n Deepika |
Did some shopping as we wanted to take
chocolates for DEEPIKA and SRK(which we couldn’t give). And finally by 11 we
leave Kolhapur. Just had two burgers for us. After ½ hr journey as we both had
nothing from morning ate the burgers and preceded the journey. We reached
SATARA (122 km from kop) at 1.30pm.
Jinisha:As I was going to meet Deepika I
wanted a new shirt. And after shopping we left Satara at 2pm.
As we reached Wai around 3, our hearts pumping
with excitement. We didn’t knew the exact location hence inquiring here and
there we proceed further. We just received rough directions and still not sure
whether the shoot is on for the day. Still we didn’t lose any hope fingers
crossed moving ahead. While passing we asked a man he said “There are two
shoots going on, One is in main Wai and the other was near Dhoom Dharan(Dhoom
Dam), the one in Wai has Akshay Kumar in it but don’t know if SRK n Deepika are
at Dhoom Dharan” we took a Hunch and proceeded towards Dhoom Dharan., And
suddenly see a car which was returning from the direction towards which we were
heading. it had a banner on it which said “FOOD”. The moment we saw the car our
hearts started beating with double speed. Reached the dAm and asked a person
their .,and he said “Yes SRK n Deepika are here” and showed us the direction
where to go. Now we knew the set is ahead, shoots going on we are almost there.
Our dream was just a few steps away from of us. We had a mixed bag of feelings,
excited but tensed, happy but scared.
Fear of returning empty handed from here... What if we don’t get to meet
them? Questions were rising in our
minds. But we had a feeling of satisfaction and were feeling proud of ourselves
that we had done what we had decided.
Finally we reached out to them. From here on it was our fate. Destiny
had to decide what’s further.
And we reached the exact
location. We see the security guards it was a check point and only crew cars
were allowed in. There were few other people just like us waiting for them. The
guard told us that we can only see them when the shoot is over just passing by.
Shoot was supposed to get over by 6 pm There was no chance we could wait till
then as we had to be back by 9. We are at the entrance just a few steps away
from our dream completely demoralized. All the excitement gone and hearts
filled with disappointment. Not able to decide what to do? Wait or leave?
Listen to ur heart or mind?
We both were busy
discussing just then a person (who was along the guards) came to us. It was a
general talk. He asked us from where were we? For whom had we come i.e. SRK or
DEEPIKA? When he got to know that we had traveled about 164
kms just to meet them he was surprised. He was like no you can’t do this just
to see them, u cant travel such a long distance. He like felt a soft corner for
us and said that he would try something. He asked the guards to permit us but
even they had their duties. He was a native from Wai and knew the place were
well. He told us that we could enter the sets by another road through a field
road and could skip the guards. He instructed us with the directions and told
us he would meet us further. With no delay we felt the place, parked the bike side
of a road don’t know exactly were. We didn't even think about the bikes security
and ran through the fields. We were completely unaware of what we were doing. There
was a simple road (which we got to know while returning) but we were so excited
that didn't notice it n climbed heaps, went through bushes, thorns and finally
reached the place. By now we were completely numb. We had reached the place where
their cars and vanity vans were parked. We couldn't believe ourselves that we
were so close to them. When we reached there, there was a man sitting and we saw
him from behind, for a while we thought he was ROHIT SHETTY and was so
over whelmed. Then we realized that he was just a crew member and just looked
like him from behind.
Now finally we were on
sets. Some on the crew members were playing cricket with a piece of wood and a
tennis ball. The person who had met us near the check point told us that SRK
was on the sets shooting for a scene (the actual set was a bit further) and
DEEPIKA was getting ready in her vanity van(which was right in front of us) for
her next shot. We were afraid of even blinking our eyes so that we might miss
her.
Just 10mins after we reached there, We were not
even completely normal, were thinking of DEEPIKA n unexpectedly a car stops
beside SRK”s vanity van and
The “BAADSHAH” stepped out.
The “BAADSHAH” stepped out.

SRK was in Same outfit when we 1st saw him |
”He,
Himself THE KING KHAN- SRK steps out of the car. The World’s Greatest Man, The
King, The Actual “SHAH RUKH KHAN” was in front of us. Seriously when this man
comes in front of you unknowingly BOW to him.., and that’s what Happened. “
We
really won’t be able to explain the feeling which we had for that moment. Completely
stunned, shocked, happy, tears in eyes. He was right in front of us just may be
10-15 steps away. He got down from his car and entered the vanity van. These 5
sec made our life. We were still in that awe of feeling when he again stepped
out of his vanity van and headed for the shoot again. Hardly 2 mins and we had
seen “SHAH RUKH KHAN” twice, right in front of us. Half of our dream was
completed in just 10 mins. We couldn’t believe it. ![]() |
SRK's Vanity Van |
Now we were waiting for
our princess. Even the word princess is not enough for her. She was busy
getting ready and we were impatiently waiting for her. A girl in between
carried a red orange sari into DEEPIKA’s van and we knew she was going to wear
it. When SRK had arrived the gully cricket of the crew members had stopped for
a while. They behaved as if nothing was going on. Must say crew members respect
SRK and DEEPIKA a lot. They refer to them as sir and madam without failure. Even
when their game was going on and the ball would hit DEEPIKA’s AUDI or SRK’s BMW
they used to get scared. We were still waiting and a guard came and told us to
leave the place. Then one of the crew members who were playing there told him
to allow us to wait there. We were very happy and proud coz the person who
allowed us to stay there was frequently entering DEEPIKA’s vanity. It was a
proud feeling coz we felt that someone related to DEEPIKA had allowed to stay. The
wait continued but no sign of our angel. Every time the door of her vanity was
opened we would skip a thousand beats, seriously…

DEEPIKA's Vanity Van(with Star) and next to it her Audi Q7 |
An hour passed but still she was getting ready. After some time the same person who had met us outside came to us. He asked how our experience of seeing SRK was. We thanked him for letting us in, but our words were not enough to express our gratitude towards him. Then we realized we had not even asked him his name. The person who played the most imp role in letting our dream come true was Mr. Nitin Govande. Then we exchanged our no’s and chatted for a while, and then he had to leave. He was like a savior for us. He asked us to call him in Feb and come again he might take us on the set..
We
had to leave but our legs were not in control of our mind, they were listening
to our heart which was not ready to
leave. We won’t go back without seeing DEEPIKA after being so close to her. 2
hrs passed… we were spending time talking about SRK n DEEPIKA there was nothing
else in our mind and watching them play. We were standing right next to SRK’s
BMW another reason to feel proud :p

SRK's BMW |
Now when we were bit
relaxed and stable we realized that we had parked the bike just beside the road
in an completely unknown place which worried us. But we dint wanted to take
chance to go and look for the bike and miss DEEPIKA. Time was flying and we had
to leave coz we had to again travel a distance of 164 kms. We were just
thinking of this when The King arrived again in his car. It was the third time
we were seeing him. Just like before he went into his vanity and left again in
few minutes. But those few seconds where Heaven for us. Seeing SRK for 4 times
within an Hour couldn’t ask for more… We
were Felling like Screaming as loud as we can but had to control because we
were told if we shout they will get us out of their. We had seen SRK 4 times
but no chance of Deepika yet. It was 5.30 and it was finally end of our time
limit. We had to leave at any cost. We were totally confused of what to do and
our destiny gave us a signal. A car arrived and waited right in front of
DEEPIKA’s vanity. The car had come to pick her to the sets. There was no chance
that we were leaving now. Again our hearts were in our mouth. Anxiously waiting
for our DIMPLE QUEEN to step out.......
And Finally That Moment Arrived, And This Is What We Saw
The
door of her vanity van opens and she steps out… our eyes wide open we were
completely absorbing her beauty.. She was completely dressed in a traditional
way. Orange red sari, gold ornaments, she looked like a bride.
A divine Beauty. Nothing, Nothing is more beautiful the Angel named Deepika Padukone. She stepped out (chewing something) 3 steps down from her Vanity Van .,4 steps towards the car on the 3 rd step toward her car.....,
She then turned towards the car and sat into it.
. As DP was stepping down from the van, the person( who had let us stay there earlier)
helped her with her sari (envied him a lot at that moment). After that he sat
into the car and left. The moment she had stepped out was the moment of our
life. Seeing her live and meeting her was our dream and we were living it. We
had not met her but just by seeing her we were at cloud nine. We had lived our
life. Our efforts had turned to gold. We had achieved what we wanted. our dream
had come true. The moment we saw her felt like getting down our knees. She is truly a divine beauty. The word
beautiful was made for her. And must say she is really very tall. After that
moment we don’t want to stay there coz we had a greedy heart just seeing her
once was not enough. We were feeling like waiting even more but that was not
possible. We had tears of joy while leaving from there. Our Hearts were filled
with Joy. ‘Seeing SRK and DEEPIKA on the Same Day’ we had never thought that. We could not meet or have an autograph due to
lack of time but we knew, our heart knew that we had seen them we had achieved
our dream.
And Finally That Moment Arrived, And This Is What We Saw
![]() |
Deepika was in same outfit when we saw her 1st time |
A divine Beauty. Nothing, Nothing is more beautiful the Angel named Deepika Padukone. She stepped out (chewing something) 3 steps down from her Vanity Van .,4 steps towards the car on the 3 rd step toward her car.....,
“She Turns Towards Us and Gives us a Million Dollar
Smile ., Its Like one Flash and Everything Is Beautiful…Felt Like This Was The
Only Reason We Were Born., Lived our Entire Life in that One Smile.”
Its really difficult to
express what we felt at the moments when we saw them. We had lost all our
sensations. No hunger no thirst. We were completely satisfied. We just had burger in the morning but we felt
noting. While returning back it was too cold. But we couldn’t slow down. We had
to reach Kolhapur before 9. All the way along while returning back we had
nothing to speak but SRK and DEEPIKA and out experience. In between we just
waited to have some soup and rice. We finally reached Kolhapur by 9.15 just as
planned.
Jinisha:
I called my mom and told her. She was
very happy for me. She knows how madly crazy I am for DEEPIKA. It was my mom’s
birthday that day but I had received the gift. The best gift of my life ever..
