As the Osacar mania settled in and the winners went backstage to celebrate the 81st<\/sup> Academy award, my heart stood still for few moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the winners list announced, I searched and landed back for the nth time on the name of one of this years Academy award winners. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been 7 years since I have not missed the Oscars, from my home television set of course, but this was the first time I was very sure of the award winner in one of the categories. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So sure, that when I had seen the Actors performance and was heading back home from the PVR cinema at 1:40pm night in Mulund \u2013 Mumbai, I said to my friend, \u201cYe saal, Ek Oscar to malum chal gaya, isko hi jayega, Kya superb performance diya re is bandhe ne\u201d so to say, I told my friend that I was damn sure who is going to be winning one of the Academy awards this year, amazing performance it was. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was the first time I stood up in between the movie to add a thunderous applause to the already amazing background score of the movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, I watched this movie twice in the theater, for the very first time in my life, watched a movie more than once.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As days rolled by, I got busy with work, then one day, I heard the shocking news. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Actor had passed away. He died of a drug overdose. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I went online, scurrying through the sites to hopefully see if it was not true, but went motionless on reading it in every website. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 28 year old brilliant performer, Heath Ledger <\/a>who won a million hearts with his uncanny and outstanding performance as the Joker had passed away.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
