Pranks can sometimes turn out to be rather bitter experiences, like Bobby Darling discovered, after an unpleasant episode with one-time good friend Riya Sen.
Controversy's child
Riya has been in the news recently, for all the wrong reasons — and most of the time, it's been a case of friendships gone sour. Whether it's the MMS controversy with Ashmit Patel or the catfight with Tanushree Dutta or someone accusing her of black magic, things haven't been going right for the Bengali bombshell.
Now it's Bobby Darling who maintains that though he considered Riya a close friend, he didn't quite expect her to behave the way she did with him. Riya and Bobby knew each other socially, long before they actually became good friends. In fact, there was a time when Bobby even became a sort of a regular companion to Riya — he would accompany her on all her outstation visits.
'Riya drugged me'
It was on one such visit to Indore that the problem actually took place, when Bobby claims that Riya actually 'drugged' him to sleep without his consent or knowledge. In Bobby's own words, "Riya once took me to Indore as her companion, as I wanted to do some sightseeing.
There was a sightseeing tour, but she didn't want to go out or let me go either. When she saw that I was keen to go, she offered me a vitamin tablet and said it was for good health."
Eight-hour knockout
After consuming the coloured tablet, Bobby was knocked out and woke up only eight hours later.
That's when he realised that something was wrong. "I never sleep at that time, and that too for eight hours straight. I realised that something was up. Also by the time I woke up, we'd missed our sightseeing trip.
That's when Riya told me that instead of a vitamin pill, she'd given me a sleeping tablet instead. However she didn't mix it in alcohol."
Bobby isn't ready to divulge more, but says, "I know it's dangerous to have sleeping tablets, but thankfully nothing happened to me."
Ask Bobby if this was the reason behind their spat, and he says, "I don't want to drag out the past. Some things are better left unspoken." |
