You know what Rakhi Sawant said, I asked the wife, two kids and the girlfriend?

The minute I asked that loaded question, the doorbell rang a couple of times.

The minute I opened the door, about 50 top television journalists (of whom I shall name only the prominent ones) barged in.

Danto Sir, Danto Sir, shouted Rajdeep Sardesai of CNN-IBN, what did Rakhi madame tell you?

You know, I replied, aaaaaa, you know…

Pranoy Roy of NDTV squeezed his way ahead of the pack, placed the microphone a few millimeters away from my mouth, and said, Dantoji, can I ask you how did Rakhi react to your marriage proposal?

You know, I replied, aaaaaaa, you know…

Rajdeep butted in again, Danto Sir, will her ‘yes’ or ‘no’ affect the future of Indian politics and change the entire scenario of Bollywood?

You know, I replied, aaaaaa, you know…

By then Prabhu Chawla of Aaj Tak intervened, Danto, namaskar! Why are you ignoring the vernacular press?

Rumbling, mumbling for a few minutes, positions change. Journalists who are behind manage to come in front.

But grilling continues.

Rajat Sharma of India TV asks, Dantosaar, two crucial questions for you. Don’t duck the questions, please. Firstly, can you tell us what was Rakhiji’s response to your gallant proposal? And secondly, how will it affect relations between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress?

You know, I replied, aaaaaa, you know…

Just then, Ganesh Kanate of TV9 raised his voice, and shouted, We are going live! Danto yaar, come on, na, tell us what Madame Sawant told you.

I said, you know, I have been telling you what she said for the past half an hour, but no one seems to understand me. She said, You? No!

Applause follows! Flashlights are switched off. Cameras, equipment packed up. Breaking news in hand, journalists leave.
