Worst! humiliating experience! I called them and booked table for two, came all the way from Noida to attend live show. First check pehelwan ji at the ground floor stopped us. I told him we have a booking but he said seats were full and denied us to go. Irony is; he didn’t stop boys who were coming with girls alongside or any girl. Because we were boys so it’s obvious we are stamped as ‘chhichhore’ as I could sense it by their behaviour towards us.

Second, I continuously called and urged that we could stand and listen to the music but the manager denied!!! While we could see people specially girls at the last moment were going without even booking!!! I called again n again and got angry then manager Rohit who also denied first, let us in.

Third, manager (specifically Sardar ji); as we reached at 3rd floor he said ‘Han bolo! Pair rakhne ki jagah ni h..and keeping an eye on us like we are aliens! Such pathetic behaviour of staff, I felt humiliated, frustrated and angry!

Apart from that, my friend who bought ( we had to because the bar guys said you ll have to make an order in order to stand here, so we ordered a beer which is of 150rs paid 750! 549 for the cann & 250 service tax. Lol! Not talking about the money though, but the treatment we got being boys was stereotypical & pathetic! Dilli aisi to nahi...
