'Genuinely fake' - by K J S Chatrath




I go to South India every year in January. The reasons are many - to escape from the chilly winds of Panchkula, to enjoy the great South Indian food and just to roam around on the Marina beach of Chennai.

I have found out a photographer on the Marina beach who has cut-outs of famous personalities and one can get oneself photographed with the politician or the actor of one's choice. I have got myself photographed with the cut-outs of Respected Amma (may her soul rest in peace!), of the Super Star Rajni Sir and a few others. I call these my 'Fooling Around' series.

Last time I went there about two years back, I chose the cut-out of Ms. Deepika Padukone and the photographer did a jolly good job.

 Genuinely fake, no?


With my respectful apologies to Ms. Deepika Padukone.
