When Nidhi met SRK..

Itni shidaat se main tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai,

hi har zaare ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai.
 
I had no idea that I would meet SRK in this way. I never planned for it and it just happened.

I tried to get the tickets of the Premiere show on 12th Feb. but couldn't get it. I got the ticekts for the repeat screening. :(

On 12th Feb., I went to the Berlinale Palast after my German class just to inspect the situation. I reached at 1:00 pm and there were around 40-50 fans who were standing since 8:00 am in the morning. They were all germans and I spoke to them about their love for SRK and bollywood. Their love and craze towards SRK was truly amazing and it made me feel proud as an Indian. There was girl who had brought 2 roses for SRK (1 red and 1 white) and had scribbled a message on it which read, '"There are 2 roses for U: 1 red for all the love that you have given us and 1 white because I know this is your favorite color."

It was overwhelming to note how despite the language barrier I could feel connected to these people. Looking at their craze, I decided to stay back to catch a glimpse of SRK when he arrives for the show at 10:00 pm. My mind said that it is crazy but like always I listened to my heart.

It was freezing and snowing. My legs got numb with the cold. I asked my friends to block the space for me and went inside the nearby shopping mall to warm myself and relax. I took these relaxation turns 2-3 times and bought myself eatables and drinks.

It was during one such trip insdie the mall that I went to the ticket counters without any hope or expectations. I asked the guy at the counter that if the tickets for the current show of MNIK are available? He said, "yes". I couldn't believe and asked him back, "Really? For the premiere show with SRK??" He smiled and said, "yes". As per the rule only 2 tickets per person are allowed. But I managed to purchase 4 tickets and the guy at the counter was smiling back at me.

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

Before entering the cinema hall, we were waiting with the fans just outside the red carpet. The director of the Berlinale came and asked us to get in quickly else entry would not be allowed once stars arrive there. He made special arrangements for few of us and a security person pulled us in... We, then, walked on the red carpet..
We got the seats just behind SRK and could manage to take his autograph. When SRK looked into my eyes and smiled, I felt the same love which I feel while watching SRK's movies. His eyes are really so enigmatic and romantic as it gets portrayed on screen.

Kajol was looking stunning in the Indian outfit. She looked more pretty than she looks on screen.
