Bucket List: Tick – I’m an Actor (Sort Of)
Over the weekend, driving down Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai—a glorious stretch of asphalt slicing through towering skyscrapers, all shimmering like a mirage in the desert sun—I had what can only be described as a brush with stardom. It was early morning, and traffic was blissfully light. Suddenly, a large van overtook me, bristling with cameras hanging precariously from the back. Intrigued, I kept pace, only to notice a sleek white Mercedes cruising alongside me.
The plot thickened as a glamorous lady in the back seat peeked out of her window, her gaze momentarily locking onto my white 4x4. And then—wait for it—she waved or pointed in my direction! As if on cue, the camera shifted toward me. I smiled. Yes, the smile. My moment had arrived. The camera then panned up toward the towering buildings and back to the Mercedes, but in my heart, I knew the scene’s real star had just been revealed.
Was I an extra in a blockbuster? Perhaps a Bollywood epic or a Tollywood drama? Or maybe I’ve been immortalized in a Netflix series. Who knows? No credits, no paycheck, but let’s not get bogged down by details. I can now officially declare: I’ve appeared in a movie—or at least near one being filmed.
So, the next time you’re watching something featuring Dubai’s iconic Sheikh Zayed Road, keep your eyes peeled for a white 4x4 and a fleeting moment of cinematic magic. That’s me—your uncredited, unpaid, background legend.
You may joke all you want about me being a one - take- wonder or a blink - and - miss performer but me and my car were there .
