Tell us, what first connected you to Nakuul Mehta?

The first thing that really connected me with Nakuul was his character Shivaay in drama serial Ishqbaaaz. That connection has only grown since then.

What made you become a super fan?

I sent a gift for his birthday, which was a photo frame. When he received that gift, it was broken into many pieces. But he did not throw it and said he will replace the glass, and frame it in his house. He is the most humble person ever.

What has been your most memorable moment?

The day I met Naakul was the most memorable and I was in awe of him. He was asking my name and I could not answer as I was in shock. Then he gave me a hug. He is a sweetheart and a gentleman.

Tell us about something super you have done for Nakuul?

Naakul’s last two birthdays I celebrated with poor kids, cut cakes with them, played games and gave them gifts. In 2017, I went to Mumbai only to meet him.

What is the thing you most love about Nakuul?

I love his nature and I get positive vibes from him. He loves and respects everyone around him.

Which quality in the celebrity do you most relate to?

Like him, I try to spread positive vibes and live life to the fullest.

I love Naakul in all the roles he has played - from Adi to Shivaay to Shivaansh. He is a brilliant actor.

Why do you love being a super fan?

I love being a super fan because it enables me to do super things for my idol Nakuul, which includes helping others.
