When my dream came true

A page from the personal diary of Kinshuk Mahajan It was nothing short of a dream come true for me when I got the chance of shooting a music video with Asha Bhosale. We have grown up listening to her songs and I never could even imagine that there would be a day when I would be shooting with her. The video was shot in Malshej Ghat and had Dimple Jhangiani along with me and Asha ji. The video shows Dimple and me on a road travel and love blossoms between us and Ashaji tries to get us together. The song and video got released on September 8,on her 75th birthday. It all started with a call that I got from the producers of the video. Initially I thought someone was playing a prank, otherwise why would Asha Bhosale select me for a music video and ask her office to get in touch with me. But only after they started discussing the details did I realise that they were serious. What made me feel proud was the fact that Asha ji is a regular viewer of Bidaai and only after seeing me in the show did she select me for the video. But that was not the end of the story. There was one more hurdle to cross. Working in a daily soap and taking two straight days off from shooting is virtually impossible and when I expressed my problems with dates, Asha ji picked up the phone and spoke to Rajan Shahi herself! Rajan Sir kindly obliged and gave me two days off to shoot for the video with Asha ji. It was really a fantastic experience. I will never forget it.
