Hello and welcome to my blog,
I am glad to introduce myself, Ashok Shekhar, Hindi feature films and television serials producer, working in this field since last 35 years.
I am now currently working on EVERGREEN MEMORIES - LIVING LEGENDS OF HINDI CINEMA. This is an event to felicitate and honour living legends of Hindi cinema who have given more than 50 years of their life in the service of entertaining the masses as well as the classes. We intend to present a precious momento as a token of appreciation towards their contribution to Hindi cinema. The event is a celebration of creativity of the veterans and remind them that we have not forgotten their contribution and in fact it is due to their hard work that the Hindi film industry is recognized all over the world. We would continue the tradition once every year. The event will be followed by cocktail & dinner. This being introduction year, we are covering Hindi films but eventually we would like to cover the entire Indian film industry like Marathi cinema, Gujarati cinema, South cinema, Bhojpuri cinema and other regional films in India. The organizing committee consists of veterans of Indian cinema who will guide the committee on the course of action. We also intend to invite today’s superstars like Shri Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Govinda etc. to honour the living legends who gave them and all of us this platform.

Hi Mr Shekhar. As a kid I loved watching suspenseful shows and I had the vague memory of watching Anup Soni and Pooja Madan's Forest Officer. I searched for it high and low but in vain, until I stumbled upon your blog and recognised you mention the same. Please let me know if there's a website where I can access it. I can't find it on Youtube either. Thanks a lot :)
