I generally don't read celebrity blog, unless they have something better to say apart from publicizing their stardom. However, just for fun and to kill time, I bumped to Mr. Amitabh Bachhan’s blog. Here is a man, who is so busy, yet never misses to update his blog at the end of the day, no matter how late it is. And here am I, I always tell myself that I am too busy to post a blog right now :( The major reason I feel is the lack of motivation. I started my blog with the hope that it will get instant recognition, which fell flat! I have got only 5 people as my followers, all of them are my friends and  I have coaxed and convinced them to be my followers (yes I have done that). I was astounded to see the number of comments he gets. Each of his blog posts generally get 300+ responses. I wonder if the total count of comments for all my posts will ever reach 300. Of course there is no comparison with me and Mr. Bachhan’s fame, but can’t help thinking.

Anyways coming back to the topic, I read the comments he got (yes, I was really free that day :P). People compete to be the first commenter of the day. No matter how late it is, people stay awake. I found that there are 1-2 people who are always the first ones to comment. Mr.Bachhan even called one of them to meet him. People address him as “Prabhu”, “Pitamah”, “Drona” , "Gurudev", “Darling” and what not!  They keep track of how much he slept last night. All of them think so highly of him that they draw sketches of him, dedicate their poems to him everyday and think of him as God.  I was wondering if I am out of this world! Not that I disregard him in any way, but I felt that there is no limit to people’s deewanapan!

There were the usual “I love the way you write”, “I am a great fan of yours”, “I love your movies”, until I saw some unusual ones.

Hello Amitji,

I am also like other fans of yous requestinmg for your personal email id, if you can please send me at

xxxxxi@yyyyy.com, it would be real good.
Once you send me ur id, and you come to know my problem I am assured you will definitely help me out and this is something which I cant reveal in open it is just for that.
My requests are not like I need to meet you or something neither any financial help , it is something related to consulting for me.
PLEASE HELP.
Bahut asha ke sath maine yeh lika hai aapko….please mujhe niraash mat kariyega :). I am in really DEEP DEEP trouble…aap bhi sunege to sochenge Bhagwan aisa kar sakte hai kya…trust me all is truth nothing fake.
Thanks

I wonder what the problem is, for which only Mr. Bachhan has the solution and is expected to give an agony aunt reply! Or imagine Mr. Bachhan leaving all his work and telling his director to pack up and writing a reply to this person!

Another one from the same person:

Hello Amitji,
Still waiting for your id, I can assure you the id will not be made public and its a genuine reason soomething like my wish, if you can mail me your id you will definitely be helping someone.
Thanks.
