S a writer and comedian, I often find myself engaging in deep, intellectual conversations about life, society, and the human condition – until I meet a Tollywood fan. I don't judge them (publicly), but I am endlessly curious about them. They are the only people on earth who have seen their Gods. While the rest of us argue philosophy or theology, they've seen theirs up close – at an audio launch in Filmnagar. Imagine having the same STD code as your God.

Tollywood fans are, undoubtedly, the questionable people you'll meet. I mean the moment I encounter one, I switch off the full-time, judgmental comedian in me and activate the journalist – well, 1/1000th of one (still better than Arnab). My curiosity takes over.
