What made you become a super fan?

I don’t know if I am worthy of being called a super fan, but I became a crazy fan after watching her on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6. Her talent and beauty are god-given, but also she is dedicated and hard-working. I joined Twitter for her and after that, there has been no looking back! Her acting ability has held me by her side and that bond is growing stronger!

I have taken leave for trending and voting for her! I gave my colleagues a treat when Drashti reached the second position on Eastern Eye’s 50 Sexiest Asian Women list in 2014.

What has been your most memorable moment?

It is yet to come, as it would be meeting her in person.

What do you love most about Drashti?

She is hardworking, dedicated, optimistic, dignified, diligent, graceful and a humble and beautiful human being! She is inspiring; she stays strong and positive; she never gets affected by negativity and handles it with grace. Even after reaching great heights of success she is grounded.

Which quality in Drashti do you relate to?

She doesn’t feel any obligation to pose perfectly or look perfect while taking pictures and feels no discomfort in sharing minimal make-up photos without any filter!

What is your favourite work by her?

Character wise Madhubala — Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, acting wise Nandini (Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka) and Drashti wise Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6.

Why do you love being a super fan?

Just standing by her side, even though virtually, gives me sheer happiness. Just a glance of her makes me smile and also the fandom feels like a family with her as centre of concern!
