Some amusing incidents around the Sheetal Mafatlal's art controversy
Mumbai society is often a theatre of the absurd. The latest example of this is the counterfeit art controversy involving Sheetal Mafatlal, wife of industrialist Atulya Mafatlal.

Areef Patel, Farukh Wadia and Yasmin MY, at the receiving end of Mafatlal's manipulation, addressed a press conference in Mumbai on Monday.

Every saga of deception is a comedy in parts, and this one had some hilarious moments.


Depression? Ya right

Yasmin exposed Sheetal's claims of being depressed. "Sheetal would say that she is under depression. Then we would Google her, and realise that she was partying in Bangkok with Ameesha Patel."

Another amusing incident concerned the revered Manjit Bawa's painting of a goat, which Sheetal had in her collection. During the investigation, when lawyers clueless about Bawa or his style encountered the painting, they laughed, wondering what the big deal was about the work.

With close friends like these...

Areef, Farukh and Yasmin said they had finally found relief. But the experience took a toll on them. Especially for Areef, who trusted Sheetal, his childhood friend. Will he trust someone this easily henceforth? "Well, the world has changed and one has to be cautious," he responds.
