Apparently, Puri was staying in A-1 Royal Cruise Hotel, Pattaya when a horde of Indian tourists and that too from our state landed there. Much to his bad luck, they were also staying in the same hotel and as soon as they saw Puri, they swarmed around him and quoted his famous ‘Lachmee’ dialogues.
Just when Puri thought that he could get away with them by putting up one time, they ended up at his breakfast table right the next morning. Puri was unable to have his breakfast also and had to pose for pictures, smile forcibly and answer all questions. Finally, he could not take it more and he walked towards the beach away from the gang. Well, sometimes being a noted person also has its troubles.
