QUESTIONS BY RAKSHA
ANSWERED BY ME
1.How exactly did you get the idea of creating an FC for Harshad..
Well we were active on the LRL forums when the show started…We had no idea about these Fan Club's…One day Yoj made a new FC of Harsh in August 2007 and posted the link on the LRL forums…When we visited the FC…The moderators closed it saying that Harshad FC already existed…We got the link of the FC that was made in 2006 where members had just come and said hi but never discussed anything…So that FC was inactive for 1 year…We activated it..But still didn't get many members there…The first page was very plain and we could not also edit it..We felt restricted there…so we requested the moderators to close that FC when it was on page 60 or so , and allow us to make a new one…So that was it…we took permission from the person who had made the first FC…And then we were finally allowed to open one during August 2007..
2. What was Harshad's role during the first FC...does he know about its existence???
Ya Harshad knows about the existence of his FC's since day one…I mean since the day I started it…We did tell him and he was very eager to see it…He always thought that no body liked him, he has no fans and no one appreciates his work in LRL….We told him what the truth was and how we were looking forward to get in touch with him atleast once…The other LRL stars used to interact a lot via sms's and emails and messages on the forums…But Harsh never did…He once gave out his email id on the Indiatimes chat but never checked it cause he thought that no one wud mail him..…So that id expire….
His role in the first FC was that he read each and every page of that FC, leaving us highly embarrassed….
3.What was the happiest moment so far ( we know more to come though)
Hmm happiest moment for the FC??? If yes, then every moment has been happy…Cause he has never missed a single FC…The best part is that he reads every line on the first page and then never forgets to comment too…Ya one of the best moment can also be the time where he gave a written message twice for the FC…
4.What was the lowest???
When the FC was inactive during January-March in the beginning of this year…I dunno why but all the members just left…Yoj too had quit for some time…I thought that , that was the end of it…We didn't know what to talk..what to do..since we hardly had any members….Harsh had quit LRL then and was going through a lean patch professionally too…I guess it took us more than 2 months to finish a FC at that time..
5.What's the role of Harshad in the current FCs??
His role is to visit it frequently..sometimes 2-3 times…remember the number of pages we had finished last and the theme and then comment..
6. Can you please give an insight into the old members of the FC, who have been its support system ever since Harshad's Ali days..?
As u know….Yoj..Swati…Vaishu were always there…
We then had 2 guys Mannu and Nishant…Mannu has quit IF, Nishant no longer visits the FC I guess…Maybe he is busy with his studies…Mannu used to upload videos and pictures for us…Nishant's work was to basically pull our legs and Harshad's too…
We had 2 Arjun Bijlani fans, Dia and Rani…who used to visit our FC and just liked being here…We never had ardent fans of Harsh on our FC actually apart from we four…
Ya we had Gauri who was a fan too..….Gauri was like one of the biggest fan of Ali /Harsh, but never very active here……Anu was there too but she again was never an active member…Others like I said used to come here and post, they liked Ali but were not his biggest of fans…
Kiran Di…Subha…Kanak…Dia..Ashi…Rakshita…Sarika
And how can I forget Vandu…who is always there for me whenever I need her…
6. Can you please give an insight into the current active members ??
Aww the new members…what do I say…I would like to say that the FC has never witnessed such a phase before…Had it not been for the new members…this FC would have been history…Afterall what can 2 members do with a FC..…
Sabse pehle a hugeee hug to Sarah..Mehndi..Zuman who came to our FC as new members when Prem hit the screen…and they really gave a boost to our FC…I mean had it not been for them…The FC would have been shut down…Seriously thanks to them for sticking around with us since March 2008..It was all because of them that we won 2 major contests too..
Then a hugee hug to all our new and active members….(If I can add sane and mature too)….Wasima, Priya, Bhavna, Chotu Priya, Raksha, Payal, Zainab, Misty, Sidra, Nandini, Atop, Yasmin, Neha, Alina , Reva, Mona, Rohini, Avneet, Sara, Nina, Now Amy and I hope I didn't miss any names…
Every member here has contributed in some way or the other…Be it posting pictures videos…siggies…avi's…analysis…
We have such talented members on board
Nandini…U just have to ask her for a video…She never says ''no''….Makes sure that we see every video on air on Harsh…I guess if I have all the videos of Harsh in SBS, SPA …its all because of Nans…And ya the DL links of the episodes…I know some people who dont even read ur PM's when we make requests…But Nandini is someone who has always been there for us….A hug to u Nans
Sarah…Our most cutest member…Takes the pain to post amazing pictures of Harshad for us from the episodes….And how can I forget her amazing VM's….I can never forget the ones she made during Harshad's b'day…He too loveddd them….And I have also not come across such a sincere and an ardent fan of Harsh like Sarah…The things she does for him is unbeleivable and each time she surprises me with her immense love and support for Harsh…Sarah I loveee u…
Mehndi….What do I say about this small wonder we have…Just 16 and a store house of talent…I think I have 200 siggies and avi's all made by Mehndi…and our last 15-16 FC's have been having siggies made by her all the time…Mehndi I know I cant say thanks but u deserve a hug….Ya your videos avi's too deserve a special mention…And Mehndi too is someone who will neve say a NO…Just request anything and she comes up with a creation within a few hours…You are missed Mehndi…But then studies come first..
Sara….My bestest buddy who is the most sensible person out here…Will not just say anything just for the sake of saying…She is very honest and will downright say if she does not like anything…Though I too have not interacted with u much personally…I find a friend in you with whom I could discuss so much…And all our discussion we had on the FC initially was outstanding and fun..Right from the ''Prem planets'' to the ''Prem uncle'' discussions, and teasing Mehndi…I cant tell u how much I miss u….Please come back soon…
Sidra…I know we didn't quite instantly gel with each other when u came into this FC initially…I guess there was some kind of reservation….I dunno what the reason was…Maybe we old members knew each other and were discussing stuff and u felt left out….But chalo u again came here as an active member….U became comfortable here and now I guess the FC is dull without u…Only u can make the weirdest of observations and make us just sit and think…Hahahaha…thanks for spreading so much cheer and joy here..
Zainab..Aww did I tell how much I love u…I didn't even know u personally when I met u for the first time on the forums…and the way u showered love on me and Yoj was sooo overwhelming…I remember telling someone that you are the most sober and the sweetest person I have ever met…There was this instant connection and I am so glad to have u here…As everyone says…You are the sweetest person I have met and also the best human being… Love u..
Raksha…I still remember ur first PM to me where u didn't know anything about Harsh and wanted to know about his shows and all…I dunno but I can see that level of maturity when I read your messages…Though you can sometimes be extremely funny..Love reading your messages and u guys never miss out a single message and make it a point to reply to everything…Am so happy to have u here in our Harsh family…Our VIP member and our only ''IF Veteran Mmeber'' *proud face*And did I tell you how special you make me feel…Again an outstanding friend with a heart of gold..
Payal…Again my most favourite member…Though I have never interacted with anyone of you personally other than on this FC…I feel that I know u guys since a long time…U have always been there to support us…write the best of messages for our FC and for Harsh…the most heart touching messages….Amazing analysis and always being there inspite of such a tight schedule..U leave me stunned each time with your messages…Its so nice to see the way you write for Harsh even without knowing him personally…I cant explain how fortunate we are to have u here…I always look forward to see your messages here..and hope u always continue to be a part of this FC
Mistyyy….Love ur name…Hahaha…Ur analysis have always been superb…Though I know I haven't got the chance to comment much…But yes I always read them…U again are a fantastic writer and it amazes me to see how talented u guys are and how beautifully u all pen your thoughts down..Only If I knew that art…And ya ur live updates on the show…Hope to see more of you Misty
Yasmin…Awww I think I should say u a sorry sabse pehle…I never knew that you are actually a doctor , so that makes you older than me…I am so sorry if I ever spoke to u in a manner which was inappropriate or bossy…I never intented to do that…I also thought of sending u a PM and say sorry to u…But now I get this opportunity…I hope u will forgive me…And yaaaa ur amazing creations…Now our FC is incomplete without them…Love u loadssss yaar..and sorry once again…
Priya, Bhavna, Nina…I think you guys log in at a time when our FC is at its dullest phase during the day time and u always make it a point to keep it active with your discussions…Has it not been for u 3…The FC wud have really been soona soona during the day time…Thankss yaaro
Atop…Ur messages always bring a smile on my face…Ur so good with words that sometimes I go speechless…I dunno how to reply back to u…Thankss for being a part of our FC
Wasima…Miss insane…heheehehhe….I love her ..''Prem is mine…He is my hubby'' messages…Lolzzzz….How we were missing here and now that she is back…she again goes…''he is my hubby''…Wasima I thought that you found someone else this time…Glad that u still stuck by Prem…Hahahahahahha
And a thanks and hug to all our other members who have been so vital for the functioning of our FC….Had it not been for u guys.. The FC wud not have been the same…
I am sooo SORRY if I missed any member…
7.What was the silliest discussion that happened??
Gosh that's tough…Cause we always had so many silly discussions….I guess when Swati was around last year…she used to post such hilarious messages and captions na…That one couldn't help but ROFL…And the best or the worst part was that Harsh read it…I will post some here..U guys will go insane…Heheheheh…That's how Harsh knows about Swati and her humour
8.Any special mention of a particular event which brought the members more closer to each other??
When Harsh quit AD….I guess u did read Zainab's message as to how overwhelming support he got on the forums…On the FC too…though the messages were few...The FC was brimming with support for him…Then when we went through a lean phase…we never lost faith in him…And all those terrible articles published against him during that time…
And how can I forget this recent article by Lalwani which brought us closer to such a level that now I guess these journalists will think twice before saying anything…Shows the power of fans..
9.Anything embarrassing that you wished Harshad didn't see or read about??
Manyyy…The captions we had on his pictures (Though he saw that many times)…The bekhandes discssuions members have these days…on the anda scene and the bizarre observations made and the pictures posted (Read:-The ''egg'' scene..''Water'' scene) and many more…Something which just makes me hide my face to save myself from embarrasment..
10. What was the most trying moment???
To make a new FC each time…select a theme and live up to the expectations of everyone here..Though I thoroughly enjoy what I do…So its not actually a trying moment…But sometimes I get nervous when I don't have anything in mind
And ya last year it was to keep the FC alive when no one was around..
11. What was the most hillarious moment??
There have been many hilarious moments…Once we had a ''caption contest'' and we could not help but just laugh and laugh…Some captions were too funny…Hahaha…And then when the entire ''night gang'' or the ''mad gang'' meets…The FC turns into a laughter zone where things really go out of hand…I still remember that day when Payal just ran away from here and I had to go and hide my face…Hahaha
12. Which is the fastest FC??
We finished one FC in 4 days flat….Thanks to Sarah for that…Hehehehe…Sorry don't exactly remember the FC number…It was after Prem hit the screen and u guys weren't here…Maybe 12th or 13th…Not very sure…We had finished one FC in 5 days too…Again thanks to Sarah for that.
And how can I forget FC # 26, IF had a new format then…1500 posts per FC and we finished that in 4 days which was a super record…I still maintain that, that was one of our bestest Fan Club's…It was a laughter riot..
13. Did Harshad participate in any discussion ever??
No never…He has just been a silent spectator cause he likes it that way…Ya but he did read messages where he saw his fans mentioning about the roles they wud like to see him in…
14.Are the members asking for it??
Hmm didn't get any requests as such…But I guess you guys do want to see him here….
15. What kind of discussions usually happen there??
Sometimes ''bekhande''…sometimes hilarious…sometimes we are too serious…and write things which make lots of sense…we don't like one liners…we don't like Hi's and Bye's…and don't spam the place….Sometimes if the girls go beserk then its tough to handle them…sometimes they get so serious that we need to pep them up…But I can proudly say that Harsh FC is the only place where actually people discuss things rather than finding ways of filling the pages…with a Don around how is that possible…Hahahaha…
16.One last question, what was the state of the FC on the day the now popularly known to be Ande episode was telecast???I mean, how maturedly the members handled the scene???Did you wish Harshad was there reading the discussion??Please feel free to elaborate on this...
One word....''BIZZARE'' I was actually stunned to see the kinds of thought that can cross in the minds of some members here
Some sane members ran away from the FC there and then..
NO WAYS....I wud never want Harsh to ever read those messages...and I know he wont...They are already lost
