Ranchi, May 15 (ANI): A die-hard fan of the Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit's has celebrated his idol's 42nd birthday in a special way.

Ranchi-based Pappu Sardar has been celebrating Dixit's birthday ince 1996. His dedication to the star has no limits

He installed Madhuri's idol to perform 'Aarti' with incense sticks. He even placed a plate of sweets as divine offering to her.

Earlier, his neighbours used to consider him crazy, but now they eagerly wait for the annual event, and wholeheartedly join in the revelries.

"I have been celebrating her birthday since 1996. Even I cannot explain to you as to why I celebrate her birthday. When I started it, people thought me to be crazy but now all wait for it and even wish to know what I am going to do on her birthday," Sardar said.

On this auspicious occasion, Sardar also invited a tiny troupe of eunuchs to participate in the celebrations and perform gyrating dances.

As usual, the eunuchs danced on the beats and tunes of popular dance numbers from Dixit's movies. Pappu too shook a leg with them.

The 60-movies old actress is now married and to a US based NRI, Dr. Sriram Nene.

The Padma Shri award winner has performances of 'Parinda', 'Devdas', 'Hum Apke Hain Kaun', 'Mrityudand', Dil To Pagal Hai', 'Tezaab' and 'Pukaar' to credit. (ANI)
