I am Imtiaz... check the Mirror!

As we had reported, recently, when Imtiaz Ali was at Ahmedabad to promote Love Aaj Kal, somebody at the event managed to flick his wallet.
After being robbed, Imtiaz was left with nothing to show as identity proof to the airport officials when he was to take a flight to Mumbai. He then thought of an innovative idea and decided to carry the July 23 edition of Ahmedabad Mirror as proof.Ahmedabad Mirror had published the news that Saif Ali Khan and Imtiaz were victims of theft on page one with the headline Amdavad Mein Chori Aaj Kal .
The unfortunate incident took place at the press conference at a multiplex in the city. The story reported that Imtiazs wallet and Saif Ali Khans favourite shades were stolen. The wallet contained Imtiazs debit cards, credits cards and his driving license. Imtiaz had no qualms about losing the cards or the cash, but his real worry was lack of any identity proof, which he needed to produce at the airport.
Imtiaz Ali confirmed the story, I was roaming around with the newspaper as it was the only proof of identification. I showed the airport officials my photograph in the newspaper, explained to them that the person in the story whose wallet was stolen was me, so obviously I wouldnt have any identity document with me. I had to go to the security control room with the paper and convince them, but finally I was sent to the airline officials who authenticated that I was indeed the same person. I was finally allowed to fly back to Mumbai.
