As usual, I was studying in my room at 1.00 PM and was totally immersed in my studies. At about 1.01 PM, I took my cell phone which was lying beside my monitor and checked for any SMS or missed calls. But there were no messages and missed calls, but I noticed my cellphone was running out of battery.  I was about to connect my cellphone to charger, suddenly I got a call from unknown number. I received the call without connecting to charger.

And here goes the conversation:

The guy at the other end: Hello
Me: Hello!
Guy: Can I speak to Ganesh ?
Me: Sorry, its wrong number.
Guy: Wrong number ?
Guy: #%&#**^!
Me: huh ?
Me: Who do you want ?
Guy: Ganesh,
Guy: Hey, its me Hindi Film Actor, Hrithik Roshan!
Me: What ?

Guy: Yes (And suddenly I was able to recognize his voice and his way of speaking)(I wasn’t excited, but shocked!)
Me: No, sorry sir its wrong number.
Hrithik: Sorry!
(And hung up immediately)

Soon after that, I saved the number and noted the call duration. The call lasted for 25 Seconds.

I couldn’t believe myself for few minutes. I analyzed the number and it was from Bangalore and it wasn’t a cellphone number. It is either a fixed landline or the CDMA wireless phone. The number starts from 4 . Though I live in Bangalore, I can’t exactly make out the service provider of that number.

I think he wanted to speak with Kannada film actor Ganesh and ended up with me. I don’t know why he was in Bangalore. But an interesting fact is, I live in a place called “Kirloskar Layout”, 15 KMs off from the Bangalore’s city center. Just 300 meters away from my home, there is a huge area called Chikkabidarakallu. 1 KM off from Chikkabidarakallu’s Bus stand, there is a huge a Estate called Feroz Khan Estate. Yeah, this estate belongs to Hindi film industries classic Feroz Khan. And AFAIK, he spends his free time here. And this was the Estate where Hrithik Roshan got married with Feroz Khan’s daughter Suzanne!

Click here to read the article about Hrithik’s marriage in Feroz Khan’s estate, if you can’t believe it. He was married in the estate and was celebrated in Golden Palms Spa, which is another 8 KM from my home. And even if you search for “Chikkabidarakallu” in google, you can find about his marriage article and about the Feroz Khan’s estate in the second or the first page.

Feroz Khan’s estate is a hotspot to see celebrities. The estate is so good and attractive, it is used to shoot films too often by many film industries across India. I have seen a large number of Hindi Celebrites here during his marriage, back in 2000.

I lived in chikkabidarakallu for 6 years and moved to Kirloskar layout 2 years back. And I think, Hrithik has a strong bondage to this area, coz he called me, and I’m a guy who belongs to that area also where her spouse belongs to

And I feel i’m kinda lucky coz Hrithik called me and I spoke to him and everyday I used to switch off my cellphone, while i’m study, but I didn’t today!
