First of all...Congratulations on being the first recipient
of the book "Fan for the first time!
Me: How did you come to know about this book?
Sushma Rane: I came to know about this book from Faisal’s FaceBook and Google+ accounts. On 3rd January he stated in his post about Sonnal Pardiwala who wrote a book on him…Fan For The First Time...amazing name....Being Faisal’s fan , I keep track of his every account...this is how I came to know.

Me: You would be really glad to have made the decision, but what made you buy this seemingly expensive but exclusive book?
Sushma Rane: Obviously one and only reason for buying this book was Faisal Khan... Faisu, Sonnal’s little man...the book was on Faisu.....anything for him!
When I learnt that somebody has written a book on him…I was extremely happy....Faisal actually deserves this ...he is too good in whatever he does. He has immortalised the character of Maharana Pratap...so there was a thought of buying it somewhere in my mind.
Initially actually I was just thinking of buying it someday not immediately but in his next post on 8th January, he asked his fans, Did you read the book? and all answers were negative…even I answered not yet...quiet disappointing answer...also on Sonnal’s Twitter handle she mentioned that Faisal asked her, Who will read book on me?
I wanted to make him happy, I wanted him to know how much his fans love him then I made my mind to book the order immediately. And very next day I booked my copy of FFTFT. It is love for Faisu that made me buy this book exclusive book on exclusive sweet little kid.
I don't think it’s
expensive. It worths the cost. Faisu deserves this.
Me: How long was the waiting period and what were the feelings? Curiosity, excitement, anxiety...please elaborate.
Sushma Rane: After booking for FFTFT, I was so excited can't express the feeling. I booked it on 9th Jan and then the waiting started...till 14th I just held myself...and then became anxious. O God how long I have to wait...? Very anxious...on 15th....I was going mad!
.
Me: What was your first reaction when you received the book?
Sushma Rane: I had given my office address. Security personnel called up
to say my parcel has arrived, immediately understood it’s my FFTFT. I was
actually speechless…I had no words...my heart beats increased...I could have
got it by sending peon but ran myself to collect it. I held it in my hand and
said yeah...I got it. Book on my Faisu! I was so happy that day…
Me: What was your reaction looking at the cover page?
Me: What was your reaction looking at the cover page?
Sushma Rane: Of courses all smiles on my face. Cover page is so
positive.....the rising sun.....appropriate for Faisal’s book.....when I
unwrapped the outer cover...it’s mine now…the book is mine. I'm bonded to Faisal
by this book. Very very happy....excited. ..I was literally shaking out of
excitement. Only Faisal’s true fan will understand my condition. Right Sonnal?
Me: Describe how you began reading the book...how the excitement of receiving it calmed down and you began enjoying the book...
Me: Describe how you began reading the book...how the excitement of receiving it calmed down and you began enjoying the book...
Sushma Rane: When I opened the book, I just couldn't read anything......I
was just turning the pages.... so excited....to look at those lovely pictures
of Faisu in different moods...killing…all the pictures were. I was so excited
couldn't read the book. I bunk my office
next day, just to read the book. And I entered into a loveland...Omg....Sonnal
just loved you...for such a beautiful writing...so passionately written. Then
couldn't keep it down. Read it in just one go. But I am not yet calmed
down....still feel the same excitement when I open it. Reading it again! I will
enjoy it throughout my life time.
Me: Which part of the book did you enjoy the most? Quote one paragraph or scene you enjoyed the most and feel that has been immortalized as much as it has been immortalized in the serial.
Sushma Rane: I liked whole book. But the part I enjoyed the most is from chapter Leaf Shedding and Flowering Season of Love Land...when Ajabde goes to fetch Kunwar Pratap. The dialogues between them and the lovely pictures of Faisu! Oh God what expressions…page number 86, 87, 88.
The scene which is immortalised as in the serial is confession scene from the chapter Of Confusion and Confessions....the paragraph from “Phool woh nahi.......Hume aap ache lage he aaj se nahin kayin mahinose...”

THE BEST SCENE...it
touched my heart. I cried for Praja…Sonnal
you have heightened these dialogues to a different level. What descriptions!
Luv u for that! Luv Praja.
Many such paragraphs
and lines I died for ...... “Dekhiye Hume
log kehte hai ki hum shurveer he...humne bahut kirti arjit ki he...ghunghor
puja me aapne swayam dekha tha sari rajkunwariaan lad rahi thi humse vivah
karne ke liye par humne kisi ko aankh bhar nahin dekha kyunki hume aap achi lagti
he Ajabde”....and then u said “Oh Ajabde why did your heart not melt at his
tearing plea…?” I really died as you said.....
And the scene of training Phool. ................. Why are you aloof from me....and further I died.....
So many paragraphs, dialogues....u have decorated them with your words. Sonnal thank you. I feel proud to own this book.

which each Praja fans waited so long
...the confession scene....page no 106...suna
aapne rani ma.......he gives clue unknowingly to his Ranimaa that he is hooked...lovely ...then the Ghanghaur puja...how Ajab fulfils the custom....then Pratap’s tough
skill on horse...Ajab watching
it....then Phool’s training
scene...confession scene and the great sacrifice of Praja for Matrubhumi....and
hume nahi lagta ke phir kabhi hum
.......apni...aatma kisi vyakti me itni spasht dekh payenge....true Kunwar Pratap…this chapter is a master
piece. And the masterpiece chapter itself is a great experience.....what to say
no words....
