Saif feels good to be Stamped

Want to see Saif’s photo, who danced his way in Melbourne Commonwealth Games 2006 to get imprinted in Australia’s postage stamps, released on March 27.

The 50-cent stamp shows him on stage in a green kurti with other dancers. These “instant stamps” were available on sale in Australia within two days of the event happening.

The Chhote Nawab who was dancing with Rani Mukherjee and Aishwarya Rai became the first Indian to feature on a postage stamp published in Australia by virtue of his performance in the concluding ceremony at Melbourne.

Now Saif jokes, “This shows that I am sexier than them. But (getting serious) it doesn’t mean I have overshadowed Ash and Rani. I am featured amongst several dancers.”

The talented actor feels “people in Australia are perhaps not even aware of us actors. But I was chosen because it was a nice photograph of mine. But more importantly, I was performing at a ceremony which is big for the Australian government! And they are just promoting their country by releasing a stamp of the Commonwealth Games with me on it.”

Saif might be modest but according to dealers, the only film personalities to have featured on stamps abroad are Satyajit Ray and Madhabi Mukherjee.
