Within 10 minutes, our phones started ringing and everyone said there was some gang war that had broken out in Colaba.'
He added, 'On my birthday, I saw the horrors of 26/11 play out. In the morning, when I drove back home, I had to stop at least three times because I felt like I was going to be sick.'
