lunch
at
a
well-known
restaurant
in
New

City,
when
he
noticed,
Mark
sitting
across
him
with
a
group
of
people.
Irrfan
told
Aditya
and
Leslie
he
wanted
an
introduction,
but
Leslie
was
not
comfortable
approaching
Mark
with
possibily
his
family
around.
The
book
quoted
Aditya
saying,
"When
we
were
leaving,
Irrfan
looked
disappointed,
but
then
something
incredible
happened," Mark
saw
him,
put
his
hand
forward
and
said,
"Hey
man,
I
love
your
