Letter 34

Dear Mrs. Madhavi,
I don’t know where to begin, I never thought of writing to a film star whether that person belongs to yesteryears or the present. But somewhere deep in my heart you always had a special place especially I remain an admirer of sensible, soulful movies of 80’s and 90’s. It has had great influence on me – my thoughts, emotions and general outlook.  I know you from those Malayalam movies notably Akashadoothu and Oru Vadakkan Veera Gadha. Your fabulous acting made me an admirer of yours. As you may agree with me, you just gave life to those characters and you made it memorable through your acting. I am from Kerala.
I sometimes live in the past. It gives me lot of comfort in this fast moving world now.  We can’t have a present without a past..isn’t it? For many of us the past is leading light to the present. Whenever I come across your face in TV I keep searching for your present status, your whereabouts and about your life in general. There is a missing feeling. May be the missing feeling is due to the nearness I made with those characters you gave life to. You like great artists are missing now in the cultural spectrum in India. It is great to know that you are leading an accomplished life along with your family. If time permits please do act and make your presence felt in our minds. Let there be renewed communication with your admirers and audience.  Me like people who sometimes live in the past would cherish that. As we grow old we go back to our roots..isn’t it? God bless you and your family.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Madhavan
