/> `I am okay. I am not in jail. It never came to that. I was granted bail in court only. Otherwise I'd have had to spend at least 15 days in Arthur Road jail with hardened criminals, ` says director Samir Karnik who was taken into custody on Thursday for tax evasion.

`I don't understand why this happened. Because the Finance Minister has clearly granted an amnesty in cases like mine. Yet I was told I had to be arrested, ` says the baffled filmmaker.

The worst thing was that Samir's mother in Delhi read about his arrest the next morning in the papers. `She called the following morning asking what this was all about. I told her to relax and that nothing untoward would happen to her son. I realize I am all alone in my battle. In this film industry there are no friends only relationships of convenience. But I'll beat my financial troubles. I promise you. `
