Cop secret - aparna tilak

RANJIB MAZUMDER

Aparna Tilak aka Shalini Singhal of Left Right Left had a funny experience while travelling by car recently. Her driver skipped a red light but instead of fining him, the traffic policeman let them off with a royal salute! The reason? The actress was still in her Left Right Left costume of a cop, and the officer thought she was a police officer.
Says an amused Aparna," I was shooting at Powai when suddenly the electricity went off. So we wound up our shoot and instead of changing back into my daily wear, I went off in my costume. While we were driving, my driver skipped a red light by mistake. The moment a traffic policeman stopped us, my driver began getting his license out. But just then the officer approached the car, and saw me seated behind. First, he froze. Then he saluted me. I was taken aback. He let us go without another word, and we drove off."
In fact, it took Aparna a while to understand what had happened. "I took the next few minutes to figure out the officer's response," she says. "When I realised that my costume had misguided him, I was really amused. But I felt bad too as it's unethical. So I told my driver to turn back and I revealed the secret behind my outfit to the policeman, explaining that I was no woman officer.( how sweet of her to go and own up )......................... He was amused we both burst out laughing," she adds.
