Moments spent amidst luxurious life and precious things
In the caption he wrote, ‘It is true that even I find my captions very long and winding. On this I can only say – my page, my rules. Please let me know if this format makes it easier to read. Keep swiping.
Then he further said, ‘My friend ‘Amina’ was a very rich woman. Her husband, who was a billionaire of Arab origin, used to fulfill every small and big wish of his wife. He also had luxurious palaces in different cities of the world and in every palace very expensive furniture, artefacts and unique things were kept. Whenever we went to meet him at any of his houses, my sons were given strict instructions not to touch anything, so that nothing precious gets broken.
Hobby of watches gave him an expensive gift
The actress said, ‘Amina was a very kind and caring friend. He understood my fondness for watches and gifted me a Rolex watch, which was worth more than anything I had ever owned. That Rolex became my most precious possession and hardly a day went by when it was not on my wrist.’
Strange games of fate and sudden theft
He further said, ‘But fate also plays strange games. Just a few years after the discovery of this watch, a charity cricket match was organized between MPs and actors for the ‘Prime Minister’s Relief Fund’ in New Delhi. This was a very popular program, in which even Prime Minister Indira Gandhi herself participated. Many of us actresses from Bombay reached the capital either to play or to watch the match.
Big loss in Delhi’s charity cricket match
She further said, ‘I myself was in the mood to play and had decided to play the match. We were advised to remove all our jewelery and accessories and of course, we could not take our handbags onto the ground. Luckily, Muzaffar Ali graciously offered to keep an eye on our bags during the match. Being careful as always, I put my precious Rolex watch in my bag, added it to the pile of other bags and walked away. And then, when we returned laughing and sweaty, my bag was nowhere to be found! That was the only bag that was missing.
Left the bag on the field and never found it again
The actress further wrote, ‘Yes, that day my handbag and everything kept in it was stolen, which was never found again. I was very worried, but seeing that opportunity, I had to show courage. After that incident, I gave up wearing expensive watches for a long time, until recently when my sons gifted me a beautiful ‘Cartier’ watch on a special occasion.
