Actor Bobby Mishra drove from Bhubaneswar to Kolkata at 2 in the morning to win back his ladylove... I usually lead a tension-free life and nothing is tough for me. But life surprises a person the most when he expects it the least. So, for a carefree guy like me, one particular day came like a blow. It was when I was dating actor
Koel Banerjee, who is my wife now. We had one huge lover’s spat and she had parted ways.
I was out of my mind with grief. Determined to get her back, I embarked on the toughest journey of my life.
Koel refused to talk to me over the phone and seeing no other option, I just took out my car and drove from Bhubaneswar to Kolkata at 2 am in the morning! I didn’t even know her exact address. I just knew the name of the local school in her area. After the long and tedious drive, I reached Kolkata at the crack of dawn. As nobody knew me there, I took a shower on the pavement and had my breakfast in a shanty.
When I reached Koel’s house, she even refused to meet me. I waited at her lobby for 45 minutes. That was the longest wait of my life. At last, she came down but rejected my apology. I came back to Bhubaneswar, completely heart-broken.
Though I won back her love and trust later on, and right now, I’m living a happily married life with her, that was one day I will not forget for the rest of my life.
