Autodriver's sob story over stardom
Mia narrated that the phone calls caused him anxiety and he couldn't afford to change his number as he feared he would lose his existing clients.
"When these calls started coming, my wife thought that I was having an affair, " he added.
A local judge refused to register his case but later did when he submitted evidence about the angst experienced by him.
Reaction
Mr Shakib has nothing to say!
Notwithstanding the ruckus his careless act created, Shakib has apparently nothing to say about the whole turn of events.
In the movie, Shakib was seen narrating Mia's number to his onscreen girlfriend.
However, people are still clueless about how the makers got Mia's number and why the digits were narrated out loud. In this confusing scenario, one can only expect the actor to speak-up!
