I was in my 10th standard and holidays were going on when the first time I saw you on TV in the song “Main Tera boyfriend”… I liked it… So I saw the movie “Raabta” with English subtitles because I don’t know Hindi.
I’m from Tamilnadu… Then I got to know that you acted in MS.Dhoni – The untold story… After I went mad by the songs “Unnal unnal un ninaival” (Tamil version of kaun tujhe) and konjam (Tamil version of Jab tak ), I finally watched the movie…
“I remember the moment when I liked you more than any other actor”. I don’t know the exact date, whether it’s the end of 2018 or the beginning of 2019… I have a habit of studying articles on a website about celebrities… The things that were written about you were…
You came to Mumbai with 3 major dreams: “Do a film with YRF” , “Do a Pepsi commercial, and ” Do Magazine cover for filmfare”… And you did that. It encouraged me very much… It earned my respect for you more than an actor.
Then at the end of 2019 I watched “kedarnath” and “chhichore”…As usual I liked it ♥️… and “Drive” released in Tamil too… 😍Then I liked a webseries about “Byomkesh bakshi” after watching a series that was actually dubbed in Tamil. I searched for it. Suddenly I got to know that you did a movie called “Detective Byomkesh Bakshy.” I was very happy. So that same night I watched “detective byomkesh bakshy” (basically I don’t watch any movies at night because in the morning I need to get up early and study for my board exams)… That movie was awesome then again went to Wikipedia and studied that you are gonna act in this movie sequel…
I was very happy and suddenly I put a plan that’s “when I go to college, I will bunk and watch this movie on the big screen”. My desire was to watch you on a big screen (theatre) because my parents are very strict and they never allowed me to go to cinemas!
Then my board exams came! After that I started to attend my CA foundation coaching, since you are one of my favorites. After my coaching there were 15 days gap between the time to start my preparation so I planned to watch (“Kai po che, shuddh Desi romance and sonchiriya”) because I wanted to watch all of your filmography and in the morning of 14th June I completed my coaching classes…
In the afternoon, the disaster came to my life💔… My every plan was flopped… I watched these movies after you left us 😭… Finally “Dil bechara” My Manny, I cried a lot on 24th July… I can’t forget that moment! Seriously, even if you were with us at that moment, I would have definitely cried. That’s the talent of “MY SSR”…
You were very cute when you said “Uppu suththama illa”😍 I don’t know? if you are just an actor to me. I will probably forget you, right? But I don’t! That means you are more than my favorite actor. That’s why I’m still stuck on 14th June 💔… When everyone went to your instagram account and liked yours every post… I didn’t do that… I said to myself that the post that I liked when you were in this world should be the post I liked…
Love you Manny ❤️ eternally…. Now I don’t like to watch any other movie… I won’t again… All your movies, serials, interviews, self-musing quotes are enough for me to lead my life, whether in the way of inspiration or entertainment….😘 “You were one of my favorites, Now you are only my favorite”😘
“Seri Manny, sikiram pakalam ennai marakatha!?
(okay Manny, we will meet soon, don’t forget me!?)”
By one of your godfathers,
Yokesh🦋
