I don't know what's next
Ahaan further continued and wrote, 'I don't know what's next for me. But in this moment, I am feeling love for all of you till my very being. And I will keep this feeling in my heart forever. I promise that now I will work twice as hard, I will be twice as good, all this for you, but also for that child who is inside me. That child whose legs did not support in dance, who used to get scared before going on stage, who was always told that you will not be able to do it. We all have that child inside us. I hope that all of you keep making that child happy, because that child inside you deserves everything. Thank you for this miracle. I wish I could hug each one of you.'

How Malegaon Ke Sholay's crew of locals changed the way the iconic Dharmendra-Amitabh-starrer is seen
The climax of Sholay, the tense standoff between Gabbar Singh's gang and Jai and Veeru on a precarious wooden bridge, remains one of the most emotionally charged scenes in Indian cinema. Suspended high on a rickety bridge, the moment distilled the grit and heart of the film masterfully captured by cinematographer Dwarka Divecha. Nearly 25 years after Sholay was released, 28-year-old Nasir Shaikh from Malegaon paid homage to that very scene in a way only Malegaon could. Using 12 bamboo sticks and a handcart, Nasir recreated a miniature version of the bridge for his low-budget spoof film Malegaon Ke Sholay, a parody that would go on to spark a cottage industry of spoof films in the town. While the rest of the two-hour film leaned into slapstick humour, the bridge scene remained untouched: it was the only moment in the film treated with solemnity. Nasir, now 53, says the choice to keep the scene serious was deliberate. 'That captured the heart of Sholay. Tampering with it would have felt like erasing a sacred moment. It was my favourite scene in the original and it became my favourite in our version too. I think it was our tribute to Sholay, with whatever little we had,' says Nasir. Also Read | Dancing Queen: Why the magic of Helen in 'Mehbooba, mehbooba' hasn't faded with the years A series of two bomb blasts one in 2006 and another in 2008 cast a long shadow over Malegaon, fueling perceptions of Muslim alienation and leading to the arrest of several young men unfairly branding the town as a cradle of radicalism. It was, however, men like Nasir who changed that. Malegaon ki Sholay was his fifth and most expensive film made in 2000 on a budget of Rs 50000. Written by Akram Khan and Hamid Subhani, it was shot with local actors in two months. 'There were so many doubts. Where do we get so many horses? How could we recreate Gabbar's rocky lair or the train sequence,' says Nasir. The film made over Rs two lakh in ticket sales. He later sold the rights to a music company for Rs 20,000. Unfortunately, because of copyright restrictions, Malegaon Ke Sholay cannot be uploaded or screened widely today. But it's a film that warms his heart. 'I'm proud that people would watch Sholay in a local theatre one day and still return to watch Malegaon Ke Sholay the next,' says Nasir. Also Read | Past Melodies: A look-back at the music of Sholay and what continues to make it timeless His work inspired numerous documentaries, including Superboys of Malegaon (2024), produced by Zoya Akhtar. 'Sholay is a perfect film. It speaks to every Indian. Even our humble version connected because everyone knew the original so well,' says Nasir.

Then do whatever you want. Without knowing that you will never know what you want, and what you don't want. Just one reason – one life, one body, this is all that you own. Do the best you can for it, once. Get there, get your best body once, and then never have that body again in your life. That is fine. But know that address once. Know how to get there.'
