Ruslaan`s popularity travels offshore

Mumbai: Actor Ruslaan Mumtaz, the latest heartthrob on telly, is so popular that his fans come from far away places to meet him.

One such fan was Nancy Dutta, a London resident, who travelled all the way to Jalandhar in Punjab, to meet Ruslaan, who was accompanied by his `Kehta Hai Dil...Jee Le Zara` co-star Sangeeta Ghosh. When Dutta came to know that Ruslaan will be in Jalandhar she packed her bags and landed there. "As an actor, I really respect and love my fans. They play a very important role in my life. I always wanted to talk and interact with my fans. Nancy keeps interacting with me on a regular basis on Twitter and Facebook," Ruslaan, seen as the male lead in the Sony show, said in a statement. "I think it is quite overwhelming that someone is taking time off from their daily chores and putting in so much effort for me. I follow all my fans on Twitter and always try to acknowledge their love and support," he added.
