My Most Memorable Day - Meet and Greet with MR.Amitabh Bachhan , Vidya Balan , Sujoy Ghosh and Ribhu Dasgupta

How to start? The great excitement and memories are still fresh in mind that i am finding it difficult to express in words but i have to because i want this Golden Moments to be captured and be with me forever and ever ...

I don't remember the exact date but it was a month ago when  I played a #Contest organised by RELIANCE ENTERTAINMENT which has all to do with the upcoming movie #TE3N starring MR. Amitabh Bachchan, Mrs. Vidya Balan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, directed by Ribhu Dasgupta , and produced by Sujoy Ghosh along with other co-producers.

I suggested an idea for the contest #TE3NITAROUND that the song "Haq Hai Mujhe" trailer should be released first among the other 3 songs.

After a month , While going through my my mails i received a mail from RELIANCE ENTERTAINMENT where it was written CONGRATULATIONS! You win an Invite to meet Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.
I was amazed on reading it. I was wonderstruck.What to do? I called my husband , my mom , my sister at once and shared my intense happiness with them. They congratulated me on my achievement.

Then I waited for the team further response. I remember it was on 2nd June 2016 when Amish Shah part of Marketing Team , Reliance Entertainment called me and explained me all about the event.

He also told that the Expenses on coming to Mumbai and from Mumbai to Bangalore ( Conveyance Expense ) will be borne by the Company and what else they have issued tickets for two. I was very elated that I am going along with my husband.
What about my child ? He too will  go with us to be part of extremely Special Event of my life.

I was all set in happy mood planning about what to wear , what to say, how to face the Big Celebrities of the day.

Even in dreams i was thinking about Mr Bachchan.How I will faec him ? What i will say? How shall I start ? How will be my first "Meet and Greet" with him? These thoughts kept pondering in my mind.

I started my journey pretty well. It was for the first time i was travelling to Mumbai.The excitement was in full swing.

Landed the Chattrapati Shivaji Airport at 9:35 am. Amish had messaged me that the Pick and Drop facility from Airport to the venue and vice - versa will be undertaken by them.
Wow! Thats wonderful .Now we can head to venue in proper time  and with proper guidance without misleading the route.

When I reached the venue i found some some more winners standing at the gate showing their passes and details to the Guardman.

We were led to a hall. I saw some arrangements were still in process and some need to be fulfilled. My eyes were all set on the four Chairs which were laid on the podium. I was eagerly waiting to have a single Glimpse of Mr Bachchan. For me he is more than a "Star" A most respected person who holds the values strongly and folow them earnestly as well as a GOOD MAN at heart.The show will get started at 1:00 pm i heard a voice from behind. In the meantime, I went to washroom to freshen up my look.

I have too look "SUPER COOL" because i will be in front of Top Celebrities, media , Camera and moreover lot of other people who have hop from all over India to attend the event.

I was briefed up with what i have to do at the stage. I was given a Special Seat. I found there were total 11 winners in all from different cities like Delhi, Kolkata, hyderabad and many more.
Had a great conversation with Mr  Vikas Bansal from Faridabad who too was a winner like me . He had a written a beautiful poem for TE3N. Came to know about the extended family which is a group run by Mr Bachchan. Vikas ji was among one of the extended family member.

Event began soon after the arrival of Mr. Bachchan. The stage was all set in glamour when i saw Amitabh Sir , Vidya Balan taking their seats along with the director of TE3N Ribhu Dasgupta and producer Sujoy Ghosh. I couldn't take my eyes off from Mr Bachchan. Noticing seriously all his movements , gestures and style . I found him humble and soft spoken in real life too. He is indeed a "GREAT HUMAN BEING".

The session began with every dignitaries on stage addressing some facts about the movie along with the reason to hold the contest.

About 7 winners were applauded and rewarded for their great contribution in promoting the movie by making "SPLENDID POSTERS " for the movie TE3N.

My name was called . I came to know that about 45000 entries  were submitted in favour of the song "HAQ HAI MUJHE" Trailer that should be launched first. A lucky draw was carried out. Among them i was the only winner who was rewarded for my suggestion . I was feeling Blessed. I thanked God for bestowing  good luck upon me. I entered the podium carrying my son in one hand with immense happiness and big smile on my face . I greeted all of them. Mr Bachchan showered blessings upon my child. Vidya Balan too was very happy to meet my son because he is too cute.

I was given a poster autographed by Amitabh Ji and Vidya Balan as a reward.





Not only that, all the winners were invited on stage for a group photograph.


Then we were asked to take our respective seats. The session continued with trailer launch of New Song "GRAHAN" in the voice of  Vishal Dadlani.

This song is one of the favorite song of  Big B from this album.

It was really a pleasure moment to see each one of them speaking about the movie, movie promotion and applauding the winners.The Event continued for exactly one hour.

Through the trailers of This movie I can make out that it is a real story based on a Man "John Biswas" from Kolkata. I am planning ahead to watch this in  coming  weekend along with Family.
Its gonna be a "GREAT BLOCKBUSTER"

Each star of this movie have played their best roles. I am sure their performance will surely steal our hearts.


I would like to Thanks  Reliance Entertainment for making my Most desired wish to come true. I couldn't believe that i met the "Shahenshah of Bollywood"

After the event ended at 2:00 pm we went to JUHU CHOWPATTY just to have a look of the beach, to taste the famous Pav Bhaji , Vada Paav and Chilled Gola.



The clock struck 4:30 and we departed for Airport so that we don't miss our flight.

I was sure to have sleepless night that very day.
Posted my photos on all social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook , Instagram.  Got many likes , retweets , comments etc.

On 6th June saw the photo of the event in Bombay Times . Felt elated to see myself in the newspaper , across Tv channels, on social medias etc.

THE STORY OF MY BLOG !!!

BLOG  BLOG BLOG ! WHAT IS THAT? THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST QUESTION I ASKED TO MY HUSBAND WHEN HE TOLD ME TO START WRITING BLOGS  IN  FREE TIME.

BLOG! I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IT AND WHAT I HAVE TO WRITE?WHAT SHOULD BE THE CONTENT AND HOW TO PROCEED FURTHER?

IN A HUMBLE TONE, HE STARTED EXPLAINING ME " IT IS A PLACE ( WEBSITE OR WEBPAGE ) WHERE ONE CAN WRITE WHAT HE FEELS  ON ONE SUBJECT (POST) OR MULTI - SUBJECTS (POSTS) IN AN INFORMAL STYLE DEPENDING UPON THE FIELD OF HIS/HER INTEREST. IN OTHER WORDS, IT SHOULD BE REGULARLY UPDATED.

THE PERSON WHO WRITES THE BLOG IS  CALLED "BLOGGER" 

I CAN VERY WELL MAKE OUT FROM HIS FACE THE  INTENSE PLEASURE AND HAPPINESS HE  EXHIBITED WHEN HE WAS  BRIEFING ME WITH THE STYLE OF BLOGGING BECAUSE HE IS A PASSIONATE BLOGGER ..

HIS BLOG "ME INSIDE ME " (www.madhavbhartia.blogspot.in)..COVERS  MULTI- SUBJECTS WHICH HE GENERALLY LOVE TO DO IN HIS LEISURE TIME . HE STARTED WRITING BLOGS SINCE YEAR 2005.

HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT IS A PLATFORM FOR EACH ONE OF US WHERE WE CAN FREELY EXPRESS OUR VIEWS,IDEAS,OUR BELIEFS,OUR EXPERIENCES ON ANYTHING AND ON EVERYTHING. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE REACHED THE ACME OF SUCCESS JUST BY "BLOGGING" AND IT ALSO KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED AND ENTHUSIASTIC.
