He was very drunk, he was watching me for a long time and he called me and he took me out and he hung me on the balcony,” Chahal said.
“And my hands were around him, like this (behind the neck). If I had lost my grip, I would have been on the 15th floor. Suddenly many people present there came and held him. I fainted, they told me Water was given. Then I realized how responsible we should be when wherever we go. So, this was one incident in which I felt that I have narrowly escaped. If there was even the slightest mistake, I would have fallen down Would go,” he added.
