Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali recently shared a shocking incident from his college days, revealing that he was once abducted from his Delhi hostel by a local gang in the middle of the night.
Imtiaz graduated from Hindu College in 1993 and recalled the episode from his college days during a conversation on Unfiltered with Samdish.
He said a seemingly minor disagreement on campus escalated into a late-night confrontation, and he was forced into a cycle rickshaw and taken to a government-quarters-type place.
Imtiaz explained that he had not torn the poster, but had merely removed it from the front wall of the hostel and placed it elsewhere because he felt it spoiled the appearance of the building.
Recalling how he finally escaped, Imtiaz said the gang leader got angry with one of his men for lying to him, and that's how he got away.
Imtiaz is awaiting the release of his upcoming film, Main Vaapas Aaunga, which explores a poignant love story set against the backdrop of Partition.
