"This birthday I feel different", says Sonu Sood

Birthday Boy Sonu Sood—who turns 48 today but looks no more than 30—has a lot to be proud of. When I call him to wish him for his birthday Sonu agrees with me. “You’re right. This year has been…how do I put it? Life-changing… I don’t think I’ve felt so special in any of my birthdays so far. The past year when I had the opportunity to help so many people transformed my life forever. I feel I am born-again this birthday.”

“This birthday I feel different”, says Sonu Sood

There are as many people outside Sonu’s home in Mumbai waiting for a glimpse of their idol as there are at Shah Rukh Khan’s residence on his birthday. Sonu responds with gratitude. “It’s all God’s blessings, Sir. People are waiting since early morning to meet me on this my special day. Many of them have come from far-away places with hope in their eyes. They are coming even as we talk. It is not possible for me to meet them all through the day. So I will go out once or maybe twice and a cut a cake with them. I don’t want any of them to return disappointed.”

How does Sonu look back on the past year? “As a blessing, a gift from God. A chance to give back to people the love they’ve given me. My parents are not with me on this special day. But I can feel their hand over my head. Whatever good deeds I’ve done is a result of the values my parents inculcated in me.”

Sonu has not forgotten the good deed of the day. “Today we are inaugurating an oxygen plant in a hospital in Mangalore. I wish I could be in Mangalore for this. But there are so many visitors here in Mumbai for my birthday. They would be sorely disappointed if I was not at home.”

His birthday wish? “To continue working for the needy. Also to see more people coming forward to do the same and less people passing snide comments on social media about people trying to make this world a better place.”

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often. He also revealed how he responds to such comments in his trademark humourous style. Javed Akhtar said, “A famous painter, Chanda, called me and said, ‘Javed, tum apne aap ko atheist kehte ho. Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
