I was introduced to Dev Anand, thru his films & songs by my Parents, who were both huge fans of the enigma. Soon, this boy whose classmates were Salman & Shahrukh fans- he was was a very proud fan of Dev .
Frankly, I used to think ‘I am Dev’. Deep inside my heart, I always had this conviction that I will meet Dev saab one day.
Touching 22 yrs of age, I joined a radio station in dubai. I was told that a fellow RJ was to interview Dev Anand on the telephone. I requested him to gimme the phone towards the end of the interview. I was quietly listening to the whole interview on a parallel line, waiting with bated breath for my turn, which came jus 15 mins into the interview.
‘Dev saab, aapka ek fan hai, Anmol- aapse baat karna chahta hai’ – the RJ said.
‘Heyyyloooo Anmoool … kaise ho?!’
To hear my name in Dev saab very sweet voice & that inevitable style…I cldnt control my emotions & cried.
( crying ) ‘ dev saab aapko jis din milunga toh chorunga nahi’
Dev – ‘achi baat hai Anmol… Mumbai aana toh milna zaroor… abhi tum samjho ki main telephone ke thru tumse haath mila raha hun’
I kept crying….
A few years later, I reached Mumbai & called Mohan ji ( Dev saab’s closest associate )
Mohan ji got me to meet Dev Saab & then the friendship, the conversations, the film screenings & so much 🤗
I became his Bigger fan after meeting him. That was his Charm !
