Dear Madonna,
One trait you have is the fortitude to do something without second guessing. Back in 1998, college graduation was approaching. My career goal was to become a screenwriter. By that point, I had already developed a crush on you. It became more than that.
Although I knew you were a total stranger, sometimes you’d say or do something that just tuned with my instincts. I wish very much that I could have introduced you to authentic Kabbalah from my Jewish background. I have so much knowledge I want to share with you; you’re one smart woman with prowess.
Featuring you in a movie screenplay might be one way to attract your attention. Knowing you enjoyed being in a screwball comedy or two, I delved into the library of 1930s and ‘40s films. Bringing Up Baby became my model...
Movies
Desh se hai pyar to,
har pal yeh kehna chaiye,
Mai rahu ya na rahu,
Yeh desh rehna chaiye.
There is a line in the movie Manikarnika, when the queen says,
"Hum ladenge taki aane wali pidhiya azadi ka utsav banaye"
I am a very ordinary boy from a simple background, but like many others I love my cinema. In fact I had a strong urge to become a film director for a long period of time. In fact I still do. But only the desire or talent to do something will not make you the person you intend to become. You need a lot of courage, will power, self belief and confidence to do so. In fact even if you lack in talent and have the above traits you will surely reach places where many other dream to arrive at.
But what if you have all of the above in you. Tremendous confidence, self-...

Open Letter to the world - My story and why I believe Kangana but not Hrithik
Ever since Kangana and Hrithik spat was first reported in news, I have been living a nervous life. Incidents reported in the news had coincidence with my life. It took a lot of encouragement from my husband to write about it now. Here is my story, some personally identifiable information is withheld, so that I can continue my life peacefully.
I was born in a small town, to well-educated liberal parents. I was very much interested in arts, but did Engineering in Computer Science for a career and moved to a metro city to work with an IT company in 2006, at the age of 22. There I met this guy, who worked in the same company, but in a different team. We spoke the same language, belonged to the same community -...

Dear Benedict Cumberbatch,
My name is Ana,i'm 32 years old and i'm from Bucharest,Romania.First i want to appologise for my English-i learnd English only from watching movies in English. I write to you today because i know i'll never have the chance to meet you. And even if somehow,someday i'll see you passing by me i know i would not dare to come bother you. You are a busy man,i know. I would probably smile and keep walking. So,this is my letter,this is me smiling as i pass by you and my thoughts that will accompany you a few moments more as i keep walking.
You are a great actor,a beautiful man with a brilliant mind,tones of talent and a wonderful heart.
Thank you for The Imitation Game. Thanks to you i learned an important part of our world history. An important part of our legacy....

Dear Marti,
I'm not sure if you will even see this, but since you are both the director and screenwriter of the Netflix original movie, To The Bone, I figured I'd address you personally. First off, I'd like to say that while I don't believe in boycotting and censorship, I do believe in criticism when it's due, which is why I'm writing to you.
I had been looking forward to your movie, but there's a line said earlier in the trailer that just rubbed me the wrong way — "It's like you have calorie Asperger's," as spoken by Ellen's half-sister, Kelly (Liana Liberato). Since I have not seen To The Bone as I'm writing this, I'm not sure what you wanted to imply in that scene, but it's still made in very poor taste. Not only is it not funny, but it's rather insulting to other Aspies, like me...

[I revisited this letter with a sober mind, fixed it up a bit, and added a little =====> incase you wanted to skip to the segue and a |||||=====> if you wanted to hop to the nitty gritty-ish.
Kent, today I did something that upset me greatly. It was excessive and unnecessary.
I woke up today at 8:30am and sat with the parents as I drank a cup of coffee. Then, I ate an egg and cheese quesadilla and half of an other one half an hour later (both the one and half of one were eaten at the same time, half an hour after I woke up). While eating those egg and cheese quesadillas, I was drinking a cup of milk tea (half an hour after I drank the coffee). I then got dressed and left 10 minutes later than I should have to go to the dentist.
I was waiting in the lobby, enjoying the...

Dear Disney!
I did not know how to get in touch with you, because I'm just a fan group leader, in which we're a few thousand, in turn you are one of the most famous big companies. Finally, I chose this maybe a bit pointless way.
I would like to ask for your help and information about an important thing for millions of people. That millions of people, your fans, viewers one thing has been employed for more than eight years.
My story goes back several years, to be exact for 2006. Then many people, including me were still teenagers and even younger. Then came the day that changed us all. The day that made us a better person. We have become more understanding and more accepting against both ourselves and others. We have learned and loved songs, scenes, characters and people. We learned to...

Dear Deepika,
Your name has been recently linked to many big projects. Claims that are sometimes very unbelievable and upsetting to others have been made. We believe in your talent, but also stand for fairness. Your PR team has recently claimed you would star opposite Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and even that you are a Bond girl. All of this is very harmful to your image and the constant attachment of your name to other projects is not the way we want our idol to be known. It also takes away from the actual people that are being considered for those movies. I hope you can consider this.
As fans we are tired of the constant comparisons being made between yourself and all other actresses. All of us can see who the common factor is in all these comparisons....

Salman I am strictly against piracy. But I had watched Sultan online yesterday. Because I am done with you and your arrogance, ego. I know that me and my family not watching your movie in the theatre will have an impact on your collections, but I would rather give away that money to poor because spending money on someone like you is not worth it anymore. Every time when you did something wrong, I would hope that this would be your last mistake. But your rape comment was the final nail in the coffin.
Problem is not only with the remark but also to do more with your attitude. Everyone makes mistakes. But a very few have the heart to accept it. AND YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT THE ONE FROM THOSE FEW. You don't become BHAI, just by helping others financially or helping the newcomers with roles...

Dear Narendra Modi, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Anil Ambani,
I am writing to YOU specifically because you are the most powerful and influential MEN in our country.
I am writing to you as a woman who grew up in a middle class family in Mumbai.
I am writing to YOU for HELP!
My parents may not like me saying this. I apologize to them if they are reading but this is NOT MY SHAME. It’s THIER SHAME.
My first experience with the opposite sex, was when I was just 13 and groped by a man (never saw his face but will never forget his hand) while walking in the vegetable market with my mom. She had just given me the worst haircut and as an angry teenager I was upset at her and was lagging behind as she walked ahead. I still remember...
