On her way to shoot for her film, 'Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon' in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, her car broke down right in the middle of nowhere.
Elli had no option but to get out and hail a cab. To her surprise, the cabbie recognised her as he had seen her in a reality show she had participated in.
Elli had to literally beg him to take the taxi fare.
