On
His
One-Night
Stand
With
A
Waitress
Strangely,
the
West
was
kinder
to
me
first,
both
in
terms
of
love
and
work.
I
gained
recognition
there
through
my
films
which
travelled
to
most
festivals.
I
was
at
a
cafe
once
with
my
friend
in
New
York
City's
Soho
area.
The
stunning
waitress
kept
staring
at
me...
We
got
talking
and
let's
just
say
what
happens
in
New
York
stays
in
New
York,
at
least
in
my
case.
On
His
Affair
With
His
Co-star
Niharika
Singh
One
day,
while
we
were
shooting
a
dance
scene
(For
Miss
Lovely),
something
happened
to
my
co-star
Niharika
Singh.
When
the
director
said,
‘Cut!',
she
quietly
rushed
to
her
vanity
van
and
stayed
there.
Something
seemed
to
have
happened
to
her.
She
was
suddenly
cold,
went
out
of
her
way
to
maintain
a
distance
from
me
and
began
to
keep
mum.
I
was
puzzled.
What
was
wrong
with
her?
What
had
happened?
I
Invited
Her
For
A
Lunch
She
used
to
be
friendly,
social
and
talk
quite
a
bit.
I
thought
it
was
best
to
ask
her
what
had
happened
and
so
I
did,
not
once,
not
twice,
but
several
times,
for
several
days.
She
responded
that
nothing
had
happened.
I
silenced
my
curiosity.
I
simply
urged
her
to
talk,
be
more
social,
that
it
was
not
healthy
to
be
so
quiet.
After
some
days
she
began
to.
I
invited
her
over
for
a
home-cooked
meal,
a
mutton
dish
which
was
my
speciality.
She
politely
agreed
and
came
over.
Then
She
Invited
Me
At
Her
House
The
dish
I
had
made
for
her
turned
out
to
be
absolutely
terrible.
But
she
was
too
well
mannered
to
say
so.
Not
only
did
she
eat
everything
that
was
on
her
plate,
but
she
praised
it
as
well.
‘Now
you
come
to
my
house,
Nawaz.
I
will
cook
mutton
for
you,' she
said
warmly.
For
the
very
first
time
I
went
to
Niharika's
house.
I
rang
the
doorbell,
slightly
nervous.
We
Headed
Straight
For
The
Bedroom
When
she
opened
the
door,
revealing
a
glimpse
of
the
house,
I
was
speechless
with
amazement.
A
hundred,
or
so
it
seemed,
little
candles
flickered
beautifully.
She
wore
soft
faux
fur,
looking
devastatingly
gorgeous,
her
beauty
illuminated
even
more
in
the
candlelight.
And
I,
being
the
lusty
village
bumpkin
that
I
am,
scooped
her
up
in
my
arms
and
headed
straight
for
the
bedroom.
We
Made
Passionate
Love
We
made
passionate
love.
And
just
like
that,
out
of
the
blue,
I
began
a
relationship
with
Niharika
Singh,
a
relationship
which
I
did
not
know
then
would
last
for
almost
one
and
a
half
years.
On
Trying
To
Attempt
Suicide
After
His
First
Break-up
"Living
in
Mira
Road
meant
that
the
local
train
was
our
lifeline.
We
were
at
the
station
almost
all
the
time.
Soon
after
her
(his
first
gilrfriend
Sunita)
call,
one
day
I
was
at
the
station
and
stood
there
staring
at
the
tracks.
A
train
was
coming,
screaming
its
arrival
with
a
lusty
horn.
It
would
be
simple
and
instant.Should
I
jump
on
to
the
tracks
and
end
it
all?
End
this
struggle,
end
this
life?
I
had
nothing.
No
love,
no
work,
no
money." But
the
actor
soon
realised
that
it
was
not
a
right
decision.
