And ever since weve opened lines to log the callers, weve already been flooded with calls from fans of Shahid for Ring-A-Star, from all over the world. At last count, over 2000-plus calls from all part of the globe. When we told Shahid that he may have to face a deluge later today, he couldnt stop grinning and is eager as hell to connect with his fans directly. I am overwhelmed and humbled, said Shahid to us when being informed of the phone-flood. Its a different feeling altogether to speak directly with your fans. They say such wonderful things that just make your day. And even their mild criticisms are so well-meaning. Nothing beats the power of fans. And nothing beats the power of direct connect.
