For Prakash Raj, Saturday evening was mighty special. And, it was not just because he won the Best Actor award in the 57th Idea Filmfare Awards 2009 (South).
The occasion also served as a perfect platform for the versatile actor to introduce the ‘special person’ in his life to his friends in the film frat.“Friends, I’ve been a bachelor for quite some time now and I take this opportunity to introduce the special person in my life, Rashmi Pony Verma,” he said. With those words, he introduced his pretty lady love on to the stage. “Meghana, please come up too,” the actor said, urging his little one as she hesitantly flinched in her seat. It was heart-warming to note how the little one bonded with Pony, as she spent a good part of the ceremony cosily seated on her lap.
Once his two special women were on stage, the actor uttered those oh-so-famous words that got the audiences cheering and clapping. “Chellams, I introduce you to my chellam,” the actor stated, much to the delight of his fans. The blushing Pony for her part, only said a shy, accented ‘Vanakkam’.
