Trisha has a ‘fan’tastic Birthday
Idol worship is not uncommon in the south — heroines get temples and posters of heroes get a regular pal abhishekam (milk bath). However, women activists have broken new grounds in Chennai. A group of fans of actress Trisha have set a new trend by celebrating her birthday (which is on May 4) like that of top heroes in Kollywood.
The fan club headed by Ms. Jesi, a resident of Chennai, had erected huge hoardings and banners at various vantage points in Chennai to wish Trisha . The hoardings read — Happy Birthday Trisha – Our Dream Angel of South India. The highlight of their four-day long celebration was the pal abhishekam for Trisha’s picture in front of Kamala theatre on the busy Vadapalani road on Wednesday. They also burnt 1000-ladi fire crackers at all the 12 places where the hoardings were put up.
They did not stop at this. As the Tamil Film Producers Council has banned the release of birthday advertisements, which was normally dome for all leading heroes, Jesi has given huge newspaper ads in several vernacular papers at Hyderabad wishing Trisha on her birthday, because the actress is popular in Tollywood too.
How did this idea start? An excited Jesi said, “I am an ardent fan of Trisha.
She is so beautiful and acts really well. I lived in the Middle East till last year, and though I wanted to do something on Trisha’s birthday every year, sitting in Dubai nothing was possible. After coming here, I saw the birthdays of all the top heroes being celebrated by their fans. So I formed a Trisha fan club and this is our first activity. Is Trisha aware of it? “We are not expecting anything from her. This is the way we are showing our love for her, says Jesi.
And if you think that her birthday was all about publicity, the fan club organised a lavish lunch for 100 inmates of the CSI Old Age Home and another lunch for the mentally disabled home attached to Dr. Ravi’s clinic. Jesi has a lot of activities planned to show their adulation for the actress. “We are also planning to celebrate the release of every new Trisha film by erecting huge cut-outs at various theatres on the first day of the release. We will decorate the cutouts with mammoth garlands and burn crackers. Free tickets will be distributed to few people. I have already chalked out a plan for her next release Something Something Unakkum Enakkum at the end of the month,” she said.
