JAMSHEDPUR: A die-hard fan of Bollywood 'Dhak Dhak Girl' Madhuri Dixit on Tuesday celebrated the cinestar's birthday with much fanfare and a bit of philanthropic work.
Pappu Singh, popularly known as Pappu Sardar, the owner of a small eatery at Sakchi market, drew media attention with his obsession with the Bollywood heroine.
Pappu has been celebrating Madhuri's birthday since mid-90s and shot into the limelight for his ''attraction'' towards Madhuri.
He, in fact, offers ''puja'' for the actress in his shop at the midnight with flowers, fruits and lighting of incense sticks before Madhuri's life-size photograph and celebrates her birthday but cutting a cake every year.
This year, Pappu invited a group of eunuchs to celebrate the day.
Dhalbhum Sub-divisional Officer(SDO) RK Sharma inaugurated the day's celebration at Pappu's shop last night, while Deputy Superintendent of Police(Traffic) F K N Kujur was also present at the celebration at Chesire Home for orphans and mentally challenged children in the outskirts of the city.
Like every year, Pappu spent the day among the inmates of the Chesire Home and Old Age Home, who were special invitees on this occasion. He distributed fruits and gifts to the inmates.
A special foodstall with various Inidan and Chinese delicacies was the main attraction for this year's celebrations.
Pappu also arranged LIC policies for the inmates of the Chesire Home from this year onwards.
In the evening, Pappu cut a specially designed 50-pound-cake in his shop. He also doled out free 'chats' and ice-creams to the citizens of the steel city, who had gathered at his shop.
