Alex O'Nell, Shweta Keswani's firang jodidaar on popular dance show "Nach Baliye", is on a losing spree. No, we are
not talking about his performance in the contest. What he has been losing of late are precious things --- like his cell
phone, wallet and its valuable content.
Alex has been juggling work and shooting for some time now. Just the other day, when he was trying to reach his
destination in the city for a conference early morning, he started getting one phone call after another.
In all
the confusion, while paying the rickshaw's fare, Alex left his wallet in the vehicle by mistake. By the time he realized it,
the rickshaw was off with the booty.
He says that he had around a couple of grands in the wallet, along with his US and Indian debit cards. But the one
thing that he regrets losing most is his money clip, which he says was gifted to him by someone.
"It was
classy, wonderful and very special, it was quite an expensive piece too. And not many Indians use it," Alex rues.
Apparently, not so long back, Alex had left his cell phone in a rickshaw, but fortunately, the driver played a good
samaritan and returned it.
So be it on the "Nach Baliye" sets or in the city streets, each day is a new learning experience for Alex.
