SYNOPSIS

The story of a young girl, Meera, who is smitten by Shahrukh Khan – the “King of Romance”. She lives in a fantasy world where everything is like the movies. She believes that the two of them are meant to be together, that it’s their destiny. Rahul is Meera’s best friend and he is quite in love with her, but Meera is totally oblivious to the way he feels.

When Meera sees a contest on TV, the winner of which would win a date with the man himself she is convinced that this is her golden opportunity. The contest involves filling in the line “I love Shahrukh because…” and this according to Meera would be a walk in the park for her.

Hobbies & Interests:
I love watching movies and TV shows – from full on entertainers to the more serious, keeping you thinking types, to the laughing till your tummy hurts types to the simply beautiful ones.
I also enjoy reading books and surfing the internet. I love experimenting in the kitchen – sometimes I feel like a master chef and sometimes I wouldn’t touch the food with a ten foot pole!
Music is also a big part of my life. I like listening to experimental electronic music, alternative rock and psychedelic music. I would like to learn to play the tabla at some point.
Art is something that has fascinated me the most though, right from the time I was a hyperactive kid made to sit and draw, to now when I have developed a kind of sensitivity towards understanding it better. It is something that is a constant challenge and pushes me to push my limits further.
I would love to live like a vagabond, wandering all over the world. Like the lines from R. L. Stevenson’s poem, “Wealth I seek not, hope nor love, Nor a friend to know me; All I seek, the heaven above And the road below me.”
