“The plane took off, and then, in day light, mid-air, he suddenly asked me, ‘Your father passed away?’ It was an usual question to ask, but it was true. Fifteen days before this encounter, my father had passed away. So I told him yes.”

Moving forth in the revelation, Ram Gopal Varma then revealed how out of nowhere, Shiamak stunned him by saying that his dead father was with them in the same flight. The remark certainly astonished him, and the filmmaker was in disbelieve that a person like Shiamak would say something like that. He added:
“Now, he was on the window seat, and I was in the aisle. He then looked at me for a while, and said, ‘He is here with us.’ I was completely taken aback! And he is a choreographer, I expect such questions from a guy who does some weird…”
Speaking along the same lines, Ram Gopal Varma narrated how Shiamak claimed to communicate with the former’s father, and shared how the latter was concerned about his son even after his death. Adding how such conversations left him disturbed, Ram said:
“‘He says he also never believed in it and is very concerned about you.’ How does he know my father died? That he was an atheist? I had a mixture of emotions, helplessness, anger, fear. I was very disturbed by that conversation. I suddenly got up and went back to my seat. And I started thinking, ‘How can he know?’”
