KBC fever and something on Indian (Bollywood) Actors from Lahore

Some actors occupy the state; few rule it. Some actors hold an audience; few possess it. Some actors light up a scene, few ignite the entire film. These combustible few blaze with extraordinary factors of acting-intensity,
intelligence and authority. There is a charisma apart from the role itself and when, they tread the screen, the co-stars are as mesmerized as the audience. Though Paki people are so so far away from Indians in many senses. But I could never understand (and actually interestingly became crazy to see) why a small girl from Lahore can be so much emotionally attached to the infamous Amitabh Bachan aka Ameet ji. The girl that happens to be my cousin sister, a Lahori school going kid at just the age of 12, a mind-bogglingly drowned under Start Plus craze had kept her screen name on her MSN as: Please pray for “my” ameet ji, he is in hospital. (I wonder if any kid of her age back in 1948 has ever prayed so intensely for Quaid-e-Azam?!)

Anyhow, the Amitabh Bachan who had experienced heart trouble during the past few weeks. Needless to mention he is a amazingly seamless actor with an profound personality. Worked on countless (not to be forgotten) hit films. Life goes on, one day everyone will just poof out of this world but it will take time to fade away the memories of “Computer ji.. Lock kar diya jaye” soon. Good news for the KBC lovers, he’s back! But all the WORLDCALL viewers, tsk tsk tsk, with the latest BAN on StarPlus channel, we won’t be able to watch any of KBC-2 show, not sure for how long. But yes, I’m happy that there won’t be any of the ‘Saas bhi kabhi jin bhaoo thi’. :D.

Its been an eminent rumour roamed around the town for ages that AB is from Lahore. Though it was confirmed later as a rumour. But Lahories have produced many famous Indians actors/artists like:

Kabir Bedi, Rajendra Kumar, Vinod Khanna, K.L. Sehgal

Prem Chopra born at Lahore lived at Amritsar. Mohammad Rafi born near Lahore went to Bombay long before partition. Not just that, the famous Devdutt Pishorimal Anand (aka DEV ANAND), the actor went on to graduate in English literature from the Government College, Lahore. One can undoubtedly say: Lahore kai paani mai kuch hai (it produces talent).

Anyhow, been busy with my exams lately and ofcourse at my office. I’m forcefully not letting me divert my attention too much on writings these days. More to share a bit later. Till then, happy enjoying chilled Lahore! Cheers. -- Omer Pervaiz (Opee Dec 30, 2005 1:50am)
