Alex O'Neil loses his wallet


There have been only gains for Alex Oneil on Nach Baliye 3. However, on the personal front Alex has been enduring many losses. All is hunky dory between him and fiancée Shweta Keswani. It's just that the American lost his wallet recently after he left it in an auto rickshaw.

Says Alex, "I paid the driver but I failed to pick up my walled that was lying on the seat. By the time, I realized it, he had fled. I lost my credit, debit cards and about 4000 rupees. Nach Baliye 3 is now taking its toll on me. At times, my brain tends to shut down."

An American traveling in an auto rickshaw in India? Alex replies, "I can't take the car as I'm unfamiliar with the roads. So, I usually travel in auto rickshaws. However, I must tell you that I have immense faith in Mumbai's rickshaw drivers. Once, I left my mobile in the auto and to my surprise, the rickshaw driver called and delivered the phone to me. He came all the way from Bandra just to return my phone. I'm sure had it been my phone, then this gentlemen too would have called me back."

Surprisingly, Alex has more faith in rickshaw drivers than his chances of winning Nach Baliye. So, all you autowallahs with cell phones, you know who to vote for.
