Whoever considers themselves a Fan
of this lady, will agree upon that she is the most Hot n Fabulous action female
star till now. Let it be Lara Croft, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Mr.
& Mrs. Smith, Wanted or Salt. She has Charmed us all with her exceptional portrayals. Even some
sensational roles in Gia, Girl, Interrupted, Bone Collector, Beyond the
Boarders, Original Sin, Changeling and The Mighty Heart made us mesmerized by
her performances.
There are hardly
words to express what this lady means to me. No doubt I am a Huge fan of her
acting. But when I started following her and read through her life events
(which are public off course) my heart just melted. When I learned she had
written a book – “Notes from my Travel” I immediately purchased and read it
within a week. The events she has described in the book are so heartwarming and
sad at the same time. She was just in her early twenties when she took on this quest.
And even
being so young she didn’t stop when she was warned about the risks involved in
visiting those places. Her notes also provide details of her interaction with
the people who are suffering by no faults of their own. She had put light on the
struggles of the refugees. She has given her life for the UNHCR work, which is
highly creditable. She not only had been donating funds but also providing
personal visits and sharing her opinions for improving their lives. Her
physical participation is highly inspiring. And many people like me have been
inspired by her to join in various charitable institutions regardless of age.
Sadly, in India adopting a child
is gigantic deal. Some people here are yet to open their heart for adopting a
child from orphanage citing questions of their background. And here she is who
has adopted not just one but three kids and given them home, family and love. She
adopted Maddox as single mother when she was just 25 years old. I am 25 right
now and not even close to thinking of getting married forget about having children.
Her past was not so elegant and
she was taunted as troubled child. She, herself in an interview mentioned that
she is lucky to be alive considering the deeds of her past. Yet when presented
by an opportunity she chose to be better than her old self. Cultivating bad
habits are way easier than leaving them. And yet she has achieved it. She is
the living example for knowing- One can change at any moment of life, if decided
to do so desperately. Hats off to her.
When I learned from news of her
recent decision to undergo preventive
double mastectomy, my fist gesture was a salute her. She didn’t need
to share her story but she did to bring focus on medical advancements that now
such tests and precautions measures are available and no lady should live in
fear of getting diagnosis with the deadliest disease. I was sad to hear negative
comments from some people post she public this. Many people’s opinion was – “She
has money, so it is easy for her to say that.” Well I say shut-up. First of
all, she didn’t public it to show her” money”; she public it with purest
intention towards ladies all over the world knowing about the medical advancement
in this area of disease. She didn’t ask to go through preventive
double mastectomy; there are various precautions measures available which
are not costly. And it was just an advice made by her, caring for ladies and letting
them know- you no more need to fear of dying from this deadly disease. I done
my research on the procedure she underwent and let me tell you, the procedure
is very painful and Money can’t take away your physical pains, can they?
I have been following her life (Through internet, Newspapers etc.) for a long time now. And I realize I fall more in love with her every day. She has such an impact and influence on me that nobody ever had and I doubt anybody will ever have. I know, I am not the only one who LOVE this lady that much. All her fans and follower has the same impact of her on their lives. But, this lady has changed my point of view to look at my life in different perspectives. She, unknown to her has changed me and made me a better person. I too have a motive to live a life of use to others. I knew I love her but after watching Maleficent it was just enlighten how much I love her and I will give / do anything for her to call me “Beasty” (people who watched Maleficent will understand!). Huh I wish!
So, here I take the opportunity
on behalf of all her fans, (I know there are as much chances of HER reading
this as I can fly to Moon, but still) to Wish this wonderful Actor,
Philanthropist, the Mother of Six and my unofficial / fantasized fairy
godmother a Very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
