After his share of limelight, Aman Yatan Verma is sitting 'idol' at his home. The famous TV star is niether talking to anyone nor taking any phone calls. Why? India TV's sting
opearation has caught him on a wrong foot.
Here are the excerpts from the coversation with 'aspirant actress' Ruchi who met him for help:
Aman: I will be reaching home in 35 to 40 minutes. So I'll see you at Lokhandwala, Andheri, right.
Ruchi: Ok!
Ruchi: Aapka kya, address to bataeye please.
Aman: M'am, aapko SMS milte nahin mere!
Ruchi: SMS? Aapko SMS karna hai to mein likh leti hoon na, kal bhi aisa hua (sms got lost). I will just note it down. Please tell me.
(Gives address)
Ruchi: Toh mein waha chaar baje pahunch jaaungi.
Aman: Yeah! You come by 4 because I will be there at quarter to four.

Ruchi: Yes! Or no?
Aman: Please stand up, turn around.
Aman: Oh la la la.....
Aman: Turn around.
Aman: (Pulls her) Can I see you more closely.
Ruchi: Aman... don't be naughty.
Aman: I am always a naughty man.

Ilyasi: Hi Aman.
Aman: Hi, how are you.
Ilyasi: So you are into all this?
Aman: These are the basic facts of life. People...this what they do in the industry. Even I've gone through this at some point of time.
Ilyasi: So you'll also do that.
Aman: I don't do that.
Ilyasi: If you say ‘I committed a mistake...'.
Aman: Ok. I committed a mistake.
Aman: I am trying to scare her off by saying ‘Don't come here'. I'm not using her. I am trying to scare her so that she decides not to join this dirty industry.
Ilyasi: But... (Aman collapses at Suhaib's feet)
Aman: I'm really sorry...
