She remarked, “These posh restaurants used to have two menu cards back in the day. One for the women and one for the men. The one for the lady didn’t show the prices while the one for males did. This was the Taj. if I may use that phrase. We had about 400 when Naseeruddin Shah and I traveled together for the first time. We went to this meal even though we were just starting out in life and had very little money. I received the menu card and the cash in error.
