While I’m peeing in the office loo, I feel someone’s hand pretend-grab my backside. Totally thrown off by that moment, I turn around, yelling, “What the f***!”
It’s actor Randeep Hooda playing that prank from behind me. He’d come over for an interview/chat to the mid-day office.
And, frankly, no teaser for a journalistic profile describes him better than the one at that loo — letting out an impish laugh, as if a teenager at the men’s locker-room; seldom taking himself seriously, at one end.
