Recommended: Riding an elevator with Ashish Raheja
Ashish Raheja
OMG I cannot believe I forgot to tell you this. So after “Royalty” when things were dying down we decided to head to Hype (where these days I always have a good time and DJ Aqeel & Assad always has a shot and a smile for me :) So its now fairly late and we’re leaving the club and happen to share an elevator ride down four floors with Ashish Raheja. This is the exchange he has with the bouncer (presumably his personal body guard) on our way down…
Ashish: “Good job tonight, but next time you can do better.”
Bouncer: nods
Ashish: “See these people? My friend. My Girlfriend.” points right, to his friend “Anyone touches him, its fine he can take care of himself” points left, to his girlfriend “anyone touches her, you rip his balls off, got it?”
Bouncer: stares at Ashish expressionless
MissMalini: Must remember this conversation, must remember this conversation.
Got it Ashish. Amazing as always. But I’m plagued by the very same question that came to my mind when I ran into Mallaika Arora Khan her husband Arbaaz Khan and her bodyguard Nilesh Pawar at Shiro. I mean wouldn’t it be SO much cooler if you were ripping the said balls off yourself? Girls dig that shit I swear… I mean just ask Salman Khan.
Ok, NOW we’re even :)

urm no cos that would mean a messy lawsuit, money and time spent fighting said lawsuit, bad publicity (although any publicity is probably good publicity) etc etc… whereas bouncers/bodyguards are dispensible.
salman on the other hand doesn’t care probably cos he is so experienced in weaseling out of many a messy lawsuit! ;-)

p.s. that guy in the photo (ashish, no idea who he is) looks freaking scary and sleazy!!

Hahaha Preethi amazing how pictures can really tell a tale eh? Correct on both counts!

ha ha! maybe you’ll have more run-ins (i assume he hasn’t yet read your blog since he seemed to be posing for that pic, but i’m hoping somebody alerts ashish to your posts and the next time he sees you he makes snarky obnoxious comments that you can write about again – but only, of course, if that scenario does not involve him pitting his bodyguard (or himself) against you ;)).
btw what is the appeal of mr raheja? is it just that he’s a rich builder? because from what i can see, he’s neither hot nor nice (not that i’m so hot myself, but if you’re running around town projecting yourself as one of he most eligible bachelors, you better have the goods to back it up, you know?)

However did you manage to capture that image? It goes with the post too!
March 15th, 2010 at 10:09 am
Haelii! I have a confession to make, I didn’t take that picture :) I stole it off his Facebook! All is fair in love and blogging?
ak you know I keep hoping for run-ins but am also a little spooked that one of these days he’s not going to let it ride… but hey I am only reporting the truth that I’ve seen first hand (even though I hear SO many 2nd hand stories) so I feel justified :)
I think he knows, but secretly enjoys the attention, bad boy and all that!
P.S. Appeal = money. He really isn’t prince charming or anything!

You missed the fact that he was wearing a pin stripe suit..very mafiosi..
March 15th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
You officially now have “Balls”!!! clap clap clap clap!!! Wow! Gotta give it to you for calling a spade a.. err… shovel.. hehe
March 15th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Oh yep, all is definitely fair in the world of blogging. And boy, is it weird to know he has an FB account or what!
March 15th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Hahaha @H yup you bet :)
March 15th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
@thePURPLEspirit you have no idea, Che and I were DYING in that elevator trying not to crack up!
March 15th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
OMG, he sounds like such an obnoxius little douche bag.
He better hang on to his money bags, bcos..there ain’t much there in terms of looks or personality. Hope his chamchas read your blog and alert him LOL….Such a wonderful thing you do exposing all these fake wannabe celebrities for who they are…LOL

What reall cracks me up is that I read an interivew of his where he said “The woman in your life must be respected as an induvidual and not labelled as a wife/ girlfriend” (or something to that effect, I forget the exact words(. Then ofcourse I remembered your post about him and Monique and it struck me as supremely ironic.
Yes Ashish, we all believe that you are a devoted feminist!!
Fab post Malini!! Strike right back at these smug, sexist morons!!
March 16th, 2010 at 6:37 am
malini, i pray for your safety in any future AR run-ins ;) btw, what was the expression of the gf during this exchange? if i were her, i would have made some excuse about not feeling well and sprinted out of the lift. on the other hand, maybe it wasn’t anything new to her…
March 16th, 2010 at 7:23 am
are u on his friend’s list on FB ?
March 16th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
aaina so far in ALL my interactions with him yes, TOTAL douche. But I’ve heard some people say he’s nice/generous etc.. waiting to see the nice part I’d even pay for the drinks! (Hope his body guard doesn’t read my blog, apparently Mallaika’s does!)

[...] Rocky S. was swinging with the model crew. Not too shabby, not too sahbby at all. Random Thought: I wonder if Ashish’s bouncer buddy was there? tweetmeme_url = [...]
