On January 24th, 2003 was the MTV Asia Music Awards. I met Ash three times. The first time was on Friday, on the red carpet. She saw me.. .and gosh!! She was ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET to me. The second time was the next afternoon somewhere around 3pm. I met her again and that's the time I got to really talk to her. I took photos with her and again she was sooooo ultra sweet to me. She asked me "How are you?" And I was like ahhhhh!!!! She actually touched me. And she actually called me "sweetheart" because I was the freaky one bugging her so much. She was wearing the same leather jacket she wore for that recent Rediff interview. She looked ultra slim and she's sooo tall.Unfortunately I could not take the interview with her since the stupid press organizers never announced to me that we need to make a request to them in order to have an interview with her. But I was hanging around the place while she was having the interview. She's so gorgeous...
I took a few photos with her and in them she looks ultra beautiful and she touched me and called me sweetheart!!!
A Little Interview with Shasha:
Where did you met Aishwarya Rai?
I got to meet Ash 3 times and talk on the phone with her twice! First I met her at the MTV Awards red carpet, then again at the Fullerton Hotel and then lastly I met her before she left for the airport at the Fullerton Hotel basement lobby.
What was your first reaction when meeting/seeing her?Gosh I was in awe of her beauty, and speechless as well. Well actually when Ash arrived at the MTV awards, I was busy 'screaming' at those Linkin Park guys and then my friend was like, "Shasha, it's ASH!! ASH!!" And I think I fainted there for a moment! Then I just went insane and started 'screaming' at her!
Were you able to talk to her?
Yeah I did! I got the chance to talk and 'scream' at her! I talked to her non-stop and I think I might have freaked her out or something. Oh oh and she called me a sweetheart! Isn't she such a doll?
Is she more/less/as beautiful in real life like she is on the screen?
Gosh I just can't describe the way she looks, she's just so ASH! She is stunningly beautiful and her eyes are just so magical! Though I don't think that she's that tall but she's really slim and it makes me feel 'fat' while standing next to her.
Do you think she is an Ice Wooden Doll/Cold Fish like the Media calls her or she is different?
Definitely not! How can she be an 'Ice Wooden Doll' or a 'Cold Fish?' She's ASH! She's just so sweet and friendly! After all she calls me a sweetheart so she can't be a 'Cold Fish'!
Comments on her personality....?
She was really sweet, friendly, nice, well in short, she's just so Ash. She was just as I expected her to be but only nicer and sweeter! When I met her for the second time at the Fullerton Hotel lobby, I was like 'Hey Ash, I'm Shasha' and she was like 'Oh Shasha, how are you?' (I can't believe it that she actually remembered me!) and she came over to me and shook my hands and I melted..Oh wait I think I've died and gone to heaven!
Are you glad you got the chance to see the 'REAL' Ash or do you wish you didn't?Ahh of course! I have been waiting for this oppurtunity for ages! I just can't believe that it actualy happened! Well almost every single thing that I planned sort of fell into place in one way or another. Gosh I can't describe how excited I was; all these years I have only been watching her on tv or in the movies and now I finally got my chance to meet her face-to-face and talk to her, it was definitely a dream come true for me. And to top it off she was so down-to-earth and so nice which makes me feel really proud to be her fan!
I gave her a poem. And when I asked her whether she read it, she said that she would read it later. And I think she did because she said she loved my stupid poem that I gave her and furthermore she knew how to spell my name. She was like, 'You're S-H-A-S-H-A right?' so which means she did read the things I gave her.
