Guddi is a strange word. Even I am not aware of the exact meaning of the word (I don’t know if its slang or not), but it is often referred to in the conversation and associated with people who overnight become talk to the town. For example, when Sania Mirza was always there in Tennis Circuit but the day she came in the top 30 rankings of WTA, she suddenly became a regular face in the media, appearing everyday in the newspaper and every half hour in news channel. We could then say ”Bhai, aajkal Sania Mirza ki guddi chad rahi hai.” (Guddi of Sania Mirza is rising).
It is a weird term, that has its origins from Punjabi and can’t be used for every Tom, Dick and Harry but is only used for people, who become famous overnight and so the rise of their popularity is phenomenon. Fast is their rise; faster is their fall from the grace. Let me give you one more example. Kareena Kapoor ki aaj kal bahut guddi chad rahi hai(Kareena Kapoor’s guddi is rising these days). She joined film industry in 2001, but she was never as famous and in demand as she is today and that too suddenly after a bold act of hers in one of her recent films.
This article will tell you the name of some personalities whose guddi is on the rise these days. And before I begin, know that everything that goes up, eventually has to come down. And everything that goes up fast, eventually comes down faster.
1. Sanjay Dutt: Munna Bhai has suddenly become Mr. Dutt-plus-
no-offence-to-Mrs. Dutt these days. Till yesterday the man who was walking holding hand of his sister has suddenly realized the greatest truth of the world: “No sister ever likes her brother’s wife”. May God Bless him! But how did this sudden image makeover of a vulnerable brother to a ferocious brother took place? Is it the magic of Samajwadi Party. He is not first one who is spell bounded by it, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Jaya Pradha and many more have already experienced the magic and so consequent rise of of their respective guddis. And the man who gave these people's guddi a reason to rise is none other than the greatest deal maker of the century, Amar Singh. Jai Ho!
2. MS Dhoni: He came, he saw, he conquered. His guddi started rising after leading India to a famous victory in T20 world cup. Today he has started endorsing more brands than the God of Indian Cricket himself. He has replaced the top models to walk on the ramp. He has started partying with pretty ladies from Bollywood and then there is this news that a temple is being built on his name, that will have an idol of Dhoni in Ranchi. Not bad for a person whose house was stoned badly by the same group of people after India’s early exit from the World Cup two years back.
3. Rahul Gandhi: Is it not coincidental that there is a huge cry from all corners of the country that Rahul Gandhi should be the next PM and Manmohan Singh
falling ill? All throughout past one year Congress kept denying any plans of removing Dr. Singh from the top post and just three months before elections there is a news from the congress headquarters that Dr. Manmohan Singh is not keeping well these day. Implies stage is being set for the Gandhi scion. But my question is that what was wrong in Jyotiraditya Scindhia or Sachin Pilot, who are in this mud of politics for more than 5 years now? Why didn’t there guddi rose like the guddi of Rahul Gandhi that rose within a year of his entering into politics? May be cause they didn’t go on “Discover India” tour the way Rahul did.
4. Akshay Kumar: When it was in case of Hrithik, I agreed. When it was
in case of Ranbir, I again agreed. I wonder what this 40+ gentleman did, to raise his guddi suddenly. After earning his bread for nearly a decade by showing his martial arts Akshay Kumar changed his gear to comedy and suddenly there was this huge tide of him everywhere. I have seen Welcome, Bhagam Bhag, Singh is King; all stupid, non sensical comedy films, that had the trademark Akshay Kumar words- Chaddi, khote, etc throughout the film. I desperately wanted to laugh, but landed up sleeping while watching all the three movies. And then came a day when he became bigger than Shah Rukh Khan. Thats what guddi does to you.
5. Narender Modi: Maut ka Saudagar has become MoU(Memorandum of Understanding)
ka saudagar. Chief Operating Officer of Godhra Riots has been recently voted as the most capable prime minister in waiting by the COO of various multinationals that came to Vibrant Gujarat Meet. What went wrong with the CEO, LK Advani? Why did his guddi refused to rise after so many Rath Yatras. I think Manmohan Singh was right when he famously said, “Advaniji needs to change his astrologer”.
6. Barack Obama: I have great respect for Mr. President. His rise of guddi is worth aspiring. He is a visible example of a Slum dog Millionaire. He came from nowhere in this race for President and took up challenges step by step and removed all the hurdles on the way. He gave a new slogan to the world, 'Yes, We can'. It is now left to be seen, whether he will be able to perform or not. Whether he will be able to bring United States from darkness to light. Whether his guddi rise or fall.
7. Himesh Reshamiya: He is a dreamer. He is a god’s gift. Himesh Reshamiya has a very important lesson for the people who want to raise their guddis, do
something new and keep doing something new till either people start liking you or else you start being liked by the people(which means the same thing, something impossible happens). He produced television serials, people didn’t like him. He went on to compose music, people didn’t like him. He hosted a reality show, people didn’t like him. He started singing, people didn’t like him. He went on to acting, people didn’t like him. He trimmed his beard and grew hair on his bald patch, again people didn’t like him. So how he manages to keep his guddi raised all the time? Someone prompted, tandoori nights.
8. Mr.&Mrs. Bachchan: What happens when the beauty meets the destiny’s child? Answer is simple: Rise of guddi. Mr and Mrs Bachchan could not have enough of each other. Aishwarya kept up with her policy of plasticity(maintaining a perfect plastic smile). While Abhishek Bachchan was seen happy only in the company of two people-Aishwarya Rai and John Abraham.
