For an actor, it’s always special to have loving fans, but when these fans go on to gift an extra dose of happiness, it can surely be a life changing experience.

Faisal Khan, who played the younger Pratap in Sony Entertainment Television’s Maharana Pratap, has been paid tribute by a fan named Sonnal Pardiwala, through a book. The one of a kind book comprising of the author’s blogs is titled ‘Fan for the First Time.’

Let us get you the details of the book. “I have never been a fan of any actor or any celeb but this young boy just touched my soul somewhere. Hence I started blogging about him and given the positive response received have now published a book,” shared Sonal.

Interestingly the author dedicates her life to Faisal as she averred, “I was going through a personal turmoil and had decided to end my life one day. I was all set to do it and was waiting for my husband and son to go out of the house. Since I enjoyed watching Maharana Pratap, before leaving my son logged on Youtube and told me to enjoy the episodes in their absence. And you won’t believe when I started watching it I got so hooked that the thought of me ending my life did not strike as I sat mesmerized by the young guy’s performance.”

“The way he emotes and expresses on TV has left me a fan of the child. He is a wonderful actor and I am so glad I could pen down something about him. Witnessing Faisal on TV has been a life changing experience for me and I am thankful that he came in my life and brought so much of happiness,” she added.

Interestingly this is the first time that a fan has written a book for his star. “Yes and I am quite surprised and happy to hold this record,” quipped Sonal when we informed her about the same.

We wondered if she got a chance to present her book to the rising star. “Post the publishing of the book I gave the first copy to the producer of the show Abhimanyu Singh who was really elated by the gesture. He also organised my meeting with Faisal which for me is a lifelong treasure.”

Sonal now hopes to market the book and get on to writing more books.

Faisal on his part said: “It’s a proud moment for me and I am very happy that people are buying the book. It’s always a good feeling to know that there are people who love you so much. I thank Sonal for the gesture.”

An enriching story this is.
