Trivial Pursuit 40

( Pic : Young 'X' )


'X' along with Music Directors Laxmikant and Pyarelal, once went on a holiday trip to Darjeeling. A group of girls from Bombay were also visiting Darjeeling at the same time and some girls from the group took X's autograph.

'X' liked one of the girls very much and met her a few times in Darjeeling, before going back to Bombay.

After 6 months, 'X' got a phone call from the girl he had met in Darjeeling. She asked him to meet her at Regal Cinema, Bombay, which was playing the James Bond film 'Goldfinger'.

'X' met the girl at the Theatre and the girl asked him to take his seat and told him that she will be back in some time. 'X' kept waiting for her but she did not come back.

It turned out that the girl whom he had met in Darjeeling had placed a bet with her friends, that she could take 'X' out for a movie.

'X' didn't know much about the girl, except her name, which she had told him when they had first met at Darjeeling. Her name was Rita Patel.

One of X's close friend's Mr. Sachin Bhaumick, asked him to take a Telephone Directory and call all the Patel's mentioned in it one by one.

'X' liked his suggestion, took a Directory, and started calling up the Patel's of Bombay. The first person he called told him that there was no Rita staying there. When he called on the second number, fortunately for him, the call was recieved by the 'Rita' he was looking for.

Romance soon blossomed and 'X' and Rita Patel got married in 1966.
