Aftab's knock in vain

Contrary to his usual pattern of disappearing after giving his todu khabar of the day, Sher Lock bhai now wants me to hear about Aftab Shivdasani.

Of all people, I tell you. Khair, all the promotion the actor was doing for his forthcoming movie, Bin Bulaye Baaraati, seems to have taken toll on him.

Don't ask me how for I haven't seen any promotional campaigns. But point is that Affy couldn't resist playing the match for Mumbai Heroes in the Celebrity Cricket League match the other day.

Not only did he attend the practice session earlier in the day, but also played a brave innings. Sadly, the bechara Affy couldn't complete his half-century and got out on 48. And to add to their woes, the Mumbai Heroes lost the match. Really, very sad. Tsk tsk
