Sharmila Tagore misses inaugural lecture of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi Memorial

The family members of Late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi have missed the inaugural ceremony of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi Memorial as the late cricketer’s wife Sharmila Tagore was admitted to the Aashlok Nursing Home due to food poisoning.

In a statement to PTI, the veteran actress stated that "I am really very sad that I couldn't make it to Chennai for the inaugural lecture. I am suffering from severe bout of food poisoning and it became impossible for me to attend the event. I fell so ill that I have been admitted to a local nursing home." She further added "Saif is shooting forBullet Rajawhile Soha is promoting her flmSaheb Biwi Aur Gangster. Saba was also busy on the day with her event. So, I was the only one who was free to attend the event today but I unfortunately fell ill.”

Not long ago, Sharmila had taken pains to write to the BCCI President N Srinivasan when they had held up the pronouncement of introducing this lecture. Of course no one knew then that she would not be able to attend the prestigious event herself.
