Abba was very fond of Amma. Amma was very beautiful. Abba had tried to impress Amma but she did not give him feelings at that time. Then Abba sent not 1-2 but 7 refrigerators to Amma’s house, just because Abba got some reaction from Amma. When so many refrigerators reached Amma’s house, she called Pataudi and asked ‘what is happening?’.
