Knife in the back - naseeruddin shah has told that we both ignored each other but his eyes were fixed on me. It
seemed to me that he was leaving behind me to sit at the other table. After some time I felt some small sharp
object on my back. As soon as I started getting up slowly, I could only move a little, Om with a muffled scream
pounced towards something behind me. I saw that Jaspal had a small knife in his hand, blood was dripping from
its tip, his hand was raised to attack again and Om and two other people were trying to control him.
Om puri saved his life - naseeruddin shah further told that Om returned and told me that Jaspal has been taken
to the kitchen. He wanted to take me to the doctor, but the restaurant staff refused to let us leave until the police
arrived. When the ambulance arrived, Om made the big mistake of boarding it without permission and managed
to harass the boss-man, who then asked the police to be lenient with me. He was ordered to disembark but after
much pleading he was allowed to stay. None of us had any idea where we were going but I prayed that it was not
the police station.
