Real estate is Jonathan Gray’s core strength. But during his address at a recent summit in Delhi, the Blackstone Group president also had movies on his mind.

Upon being invited to the stage by the host, actor Kabir Bedi, Gray said, “I never thought someday I’d be introduced by a James Bond character.” (Bedi acted in 'Octopussy').

Gray grew up in Chicago and spends a lot of time in New York. And in Delhi, he delivered his parting words in East Coast-accented Hindi, “Picture abhi baaki hai.” (The movie ain’t over yet).
