DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran was in for a surprise on Tuesday as he boarded an IndiGo aircraft to make his way home to Chennai from New Delhi. As he took his seat in the first row, the captain asked him: “So, you are travelling in this flight as well!”
Unable to recognise the captain, who wore a mask, Maran nodded with a puzzled expression on his face. “So you don’t recognise me!” the captain exclaimed in a familiar voice.
But the smile behind the mask soon gave him away. “I realised then that it was none other than my colleague, senior member of Parliament and former Union minister – my very good friend Thiru Rajiv Pratap Rudy,” Maran said.
