During Bakshy promotions days , He called me and said , " Agle hafte Delhi ka ticket karwa le , chalna hai". So by next week we were in Delhi, staying in Lalit. The day was spent in visiting few of the locations in and around Delhi and by the time we were done , we were a little tired and a little disheartened because of Indias exit from the World Cup (by that time Dhoni prep had started and we used to watch almost all the ongoing matches). He said , towards the evening , "koi nahi failures bhi celebrate karna chahiye😎" ( - During DCE days we used to celebrate His flunking exams (because of skipping it owing to dance performances 😝) with full enthu. And He continued , "pata kar kaha par sabse achhi party ho rahi hai aaj delhi mein , maje karenge". So I called up my nephews and on being told that Lalit by then had itself become a happening place , I informed Him. He replied , " Super!! " and continued , " Arre apne nephew logo ko bhi bula le unse bhi mil lete hain" I , while wondering how to strike a balance between His stardom and comfort and my nephews' time and effort , invited them. To my surprise when they later came Sushant met them like my college friend to an extent that He came out all the way to the Hotel's entrance to meet them and chit-chat. Later He invited them for dinner , but considering it was getting late , they politely took leave after few more minutes. We as planned , continued with our plans and spent time with Dibakar Sir and team , had dinner and came back to our rooms. Then as a routine we discussed about Dhoni prep and He said , " Bhai dekh humein aur mehnat karne padegi , kyunki , ab jab bhi India haaregi log humein bhi bhala - bura kahenge 😬, to kam se kam apna kaam ekdum achhe se karte hain.🤭 " I replied , " Haan , par abhi so lete hain , kal kuch hi der mei flight hai 😝" He laughed , turned off the main lights , picked a book to read, said "jaga dio", while I crashed on the suite lounger.

In hindsight , Bakshy promotions had made Him a really confident public speaker🕺

The smile that lives on 😊
