I worked with Sakshi Tanwar

In 1994, Auto-Expo got an entry at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, for displaying new models of vehicles, accessories and different automobile products.

I was representing my company's stall, for its greases and lubricants division. We engaged a reception officer for managing the stall for about 10 days.

I was surprised at the skill with which she (the reception officer) was tackling visitors and the way she spoke in the Bhojpuri accent with one of our managers. I asked her if she was an actress. She said yes.

She told me she was pursuing her studies and also acting in a Hindi comedy show. I did not ask which serial it was, as I do not watch serials. But I could see her inborn talent for acting.

One day, I took my wife and son to our stall, and introduced her.

After a couple of years, my wife told me that the girl I introduced to her at the Auto-Expo stall has become a leading actress in the show, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. She was the lead actress.

I do not watch Hindi serials, as my family watches either Malayalam channels or cartoon channels. But one day, I watched the show and it was confirmed that the lady in question was Sakshi Tanwar. The news thrilled me, so I immediately called my then manager Mr Nair.

We were delighted to know about Sakshi's achievements, and hope to watch her in leading roles in movies too.

Grew up with a star in the same neighbourhood? Studied with them in school? Had a star friend in college? Hung out at the canteen together? Bunked classes? Maybe even hit on the same pretty people?

We look forward to hearing from you!
