6. “I was at Globus Theatre in Bandra watching The Artist. Mandira Bedi comes and sits next to me. I didn’t know what to do. So I just tweeted a ‘hi’ to her and that I’m sitting next to her. After the movie, we were in the elevator together as well. She checked her Twitter only in her car though. She replied and asked me what I thought of the movie. So yes, I don’t know if this counts as “meeting” her.”
