“Encounters in NY: Jugal Kishore ji from Punjab, a yellow cab driver in NY for 30 years, didn’t talk to me throughout my ride with him. He didn’t recognize me. Later, he gave me the most flattering and the funniest reason for it. He kept hugging me. We were both happy and always no fare was charged,” Kher wrote while sharing a video of the driver.
The video shows Jugal Kishor, the cabbie was quite excited. He said that he could not recognize Kher because the actor looked like a 20-25-year-old.
