Blind Item by Rajeev Masand: The Secret Couch Unveiled
October 28, 2014 |
Here's a blind item by Rajeev Masand for this week.
A respected senior filmmaker, with a reputation for experimenting with new genres and different subjects, recently went red in the face out of embarrassment during a meeting in his office with a media-person. This is the sort of story you'll wish you were there to witness in person!
The female journo, who was meeting with the veteran to talk shop, reportedly became privy to one of his closely guarded secrets that particular afternoon by sheer accident. Turns out that when the filmmaker pressed a bell to summon an office help to order refreshments for his guest, what he actually ended up doing inadvertently was hitting the wrong button. As a result, a seemingly innocuous wall' at the opposite end of the room rotated to reveal"wait for it"a concealed cozy queen-size bed!
The lady was visibly shocked. The filmmaker apparently didn't know where to look. He nervously sputtered something about having created that little nook for himself"to retire when he needed a nap at work. The lady was not convinced but tried not to let it show. It is perhaps unfair to draw a sleazy conclusion from what she saw, but the gentleman's discomfort was a telling sign, she insists. You make up your own mind with the facts at hand!
