TALENTED actor Aham Sharma has won over fans with his versatile performances. A popular fan club founded by Apurva on Twitter is run by a united group of Aham well-wishers, including Sukanya. Eastern Eye caught up with them to find out more...
What made you set up the fan club?
When Aham Sharma featured in his first episode of Mahabharat as Karna, it was a rage among fans! His entry scene garnered appreciation from everyone. That moment we decided to set up a fan club for him, so fans could join in, discuss and showcase their love.
Tell us about your fan club?
It was set up before Aham joined Twitter and was shooting for Mahabharata. It is solely dedicated to help Aham’s fans appreciate and follow his work. We post regular updates featuring his latest shows, videos, articles, interviews and pictures. Apart from this, we also motivate fans to actively participate in online polls.
What has been your memorable moment?
When Aham was admirably recognised for his iconic role as Karna with his first award. The way every member of this fan club have given their time to make it grow, cast votes in polls, support Aham and show their appreciation has also been memorable.
What is the best thing you like about Aham?
That he is very dedicated to his work and a thorough professional. Despite reaching such great heights, he manages to remain grounded and is very kind and honest with fans. He never sees us as fans but his friends. Being a genuinely hard-working person, he has inspired many to work hard to achieve their dreams.
What is your favourite work Aham has done?
All of his work has been great. He has put in a lot of effort and passion for characters he has played. His portrayal of brooding, intense character Arjun Mehra in Dosti, Yariyaan, Manmarzian is remembered by fans. Rishabh in Brahmarakshas was a total contrast and he pulled it off with great ease. We know he’ll continue doing his best and making us proud.
Tell us an interesting fact about Aham...
His passion for physical fitness is immense. Over the years we have seen remarkable improvements in his fitness and he picked up basic gymnastic skills which have helped him to be agile and flexible. This has helped him to be a wonderful dancer as well.
What is your definition of a true fan?
A true fan is a loyal and true friend who supports their favourite in whatever work they do. They show great love, give honest feedback while respecting and appreciating their work. We are happy to have brought together his global fan base under one umbrella. His work and personality have endeared him to millions and we are happy to contribute towards his growing popularity.
Sheeran has never featured original Hindi lyrics in a song before, marking a significant first.
Gandhi has spoken about the immense difficulty of keeping the exciting news quiet until the announcement.
Her new verse explores the overwhelming, lightning-strike feeling of finding 'the one'.
The track is part of a larger EP featuring remixes with Karan Aujla, Hanumankind, and others.
Jonita Gandhi just confirmed the big collaboration. She is part of the upcoming remix of Ed Sheeran's song Heaven. This is not a background vocal thing; she has a full, proper verse in there in Hindi and this is a first for Sheeran. The track is part of his remix EP, which is basically a love letter to Indian sounds at this point.

So what did she actually do to the song?
People might think it is just a simple translation. It is not. She wrote and sang new lines, in Hindi, that slot right into the melody. She took the whole "heavenly" love idea and made it conversational. Her words, she says, are about that moment 'you just know'. You know? It is her voice, her language, grafted onto his global tune, giving Heaven a completely unique cultural twist.
Remember the Mumbai gig she opened for him? That was not just a slot. That was the introduction. She has talked about how he was surprisingly normal and grounded and genuinely curious about the music here. It seems that meeting stuck. She went from fan to opener to collaborator in less than a year. That is a pretty rapid climb for any artist.
Gandhi is not alone. Sheeran has collected a bunch of talented folks. Karan Aujla on Symmetry, and we have to say that is a massive get. Hanumankind, the rapper, he is in the mix too. And then Santhosh Narayanan and his daughter Dhee on Don’t Look Down. It is a proper sampler and not just one token track. He is really stacking this EP. It makes you think someone on his team is genuinely paying attention.

And the timing?
She mentioned this in her chat that October is her birthday month. You cannot buy that kind of symbolic timing right? This whole project in fact, highlights how seriously Ed Sheeran is looking to incorporate the sounds of the Indian subcontinent into the worldwide pop landscape, making this release feel perfectly placed for the festive season.
