Jamshedpur, May 15 (UNI) A die-hard fan of Bollywood 'Dhak Dhak Girl' Madhuri Dixit today celebrated the cinestar's birthday with much fanfare and a bit of philanthropic work.
Pappu Singh, popularly known as Pappu Sardar, the owner of a small eatery at Sakchi market here, drew both national and international media attention with his obsession with the Bollywood heroine.
Pappu has been celebrating Madhuri's birthday since mid-90s and shot into the limelight for his ''attraction'' towards Madhuri.
He, in fact, offers ''puja'' for the actress in his shop at the midnight with flowers, fruits and lighting of incense sticks before Madhuri's life-size photograph and celebrates her birthday but cutting a cake every year.
This year, Pappu invited a group of eunuchs to celebrate the day.
Dhalbhum Sub-divisional Officer(SDO) R K Sharma inaugurated the day's celebration at Pappu's shop last night, while Deputy Superintendent of Police(Traffic) F K N Kujur was also present at the celebration at Chesire Home for orphans and mentally challenged children in the outskirts of the city.

A special foodstall with various Inidan and Chinese delicacies was the main attraction for this year's celebrations.
