"The first time Chhota Shakeel threatened me through his man, was in 2000. I was merely 26 at that time, didn't know how to cough up the money that was being asked. Eventually at his behest, I made him speak to a family friend whom he'd address as Didi or sister, and ended up assuring me that I shall never receive a call from them. I was relieved.
His messaging me again last month after so many years, was not as ugly as it has become post the news leak yesterday. I was trying to keep it under the wraps all this while because I know all this amounts up to unnecessary publicity, especially when he was threatening me in a civil way, uptil now! But I guess it is not in my hands to keep the press from procuring information, in fact I had told him last month too, that one cannot underestimate Indian Police and Indian press these days, and that I don't want to get into this mess!
So much has changed in me from his last call to this call. Back then, I didn't have much money. Today, I don't work for money. People who belong to my category, cannot be understood so easily. Shakeel could very well ask me that if you do not work for money, why wouldn't you work with the person whom I want you to work with, and give me the discount I'm asking for? Fair enough question to ask!
The answer is when you reach a point when you are walking up the stage, and you have this feeling that you are going on a cosmic pilgrimage, and you have gratitude for the parents, dead oralive, of all the people gathered to listen to you, to bless you, to make you feel the chosen one, how can you work or perform under a threat?
