Fan stories often carry a rare emotional weight. A small gesture — an autograph, a smile, or a photograph — can stay with someone for decades. A recent Instagram post proved exactly that when a woman shared how her father finally reunited with his favourite star, John Abraham, after 25 long years.
An autograph preserved since 2001
Instagram user Shrutika Kurunde narrated how her father, Prakash Kurunde, had received John Abraham’s autograph back in 2001 — long before smartphones made selfies common. At the time, an autograph was the only keepsake a fan could cherish.
What makes the story remarkable is that Prakash carefully preserved that signed note in his wallet for over two decades. He often told his family that he would meet the actor again someday. Recently, that belief turned into reality.
During their reunion, Prakash showed John the same 25-year-old autograph. This time, however, they were able to capture the moment with a photograph together. The reel ended with the heartfelt line: “Dreams don’t expire.”
Internet moved by the reunion
The video quickly drew emotional reactions online. One user pointed out that in 2001, John Abraham was still a newcomer and had not yet debuted in his first film, Jism. Shrutika responded that the autograph surviving for over 20 years reflected true faith.
Several others described the moment as “precious” and “wholesome”, while some called John one of the sweetest celebrities for taking the time to reconnect warmly with his longtime admirer.
Stories like these resonate because they highlight the human side of fame. For celebrities, it may be just another meeting. For fans, it can be a lifelong memory finally fulfilled — proof that sometimes, patience and belief truly pay off.
