While I have no time for a movie like #BigBull, I still thought now is the time to talk about Mittals from Ludhiana and their Harshad Mehta's connection.

Satpal Mittal was a little different from his traditional baniya community, as he was more inclined towards politics than business. One day while giving his political speech in a college (as a young student politician), he impressed a Girl in the audience- Lalita.

They decided to get married, but there was a problem. While both were Punjabis, she was Kshatriya, and so Satpal's father didn't like this match. Like a lot of Hindi movies, he gave his son a choice-Marry this girl OR choose him. As Satpal took the path of his marriage..

..He was given another instruction: "Don't give your children OUR NAME (i.e their surname -Mittal). So, when the eldest of the three sons (Rakesh) was born, he was named Rakesh Bharti. This is how the now-famous Bharti group got their name!

Anyways, Mr. Satpal was gaining ground in his political venture-starting from Councillor-MLC-State minister, and then as a Rajya Sabha's MP. This is when he got a bit closer to Rajiv Gandhi. In Ludhiana, he is remembered for his meteoric rise -

The son of a paan vendor who became an MP and then as one of the richest men in the town. A few decades later another set of Mittals will start as sweatshop owners to be a kind of Education King-Lovely Professional University. BTW, his Son decided to get into Telecom business.

Now, many of you know how our 'Risk hai toh ishq hai' guy used to love his researches!. So, around 1989, he first approached Sunil Bharti Mittal, to understand more about the Telecom sector in India. Soon, they y started meeting more often, and Harshad discovered his Delhi's Gate

Harshad wanted to move fast, then "Sunil suggested it was necessary to build up political contacts in Delhi to achieve prosperity." So, he decided to meet his father, who then arranged his meeting with Rajiv Gandhi.

Meanwhile, Mr. Satpal main power will come in the era of Narasimha Rao, when as a close aid of Chandra Swami, he got his reputation as a fund-raiser and political fixer. And, most of Harshad's Delhi dealing was via him only (as per the Mehtas). https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/cover-story/story/19930715-first-meeting-we-had-with-any-politician-was-with-rajiv-gandhi-says-harshad-mehta-812069-1993-07-15

Now, if you have watched the #Scam1992 towards the end of the show, you will find Harshad recoding a tape and sending it to someone-that someone was Mr. Sunil Mittal, in that tape asks him to go and meet Rao's personal assistant, R.K. Khandekar and remind him of their meeting.

Well, today, Harshad remained as a scamster, but did he able to do all this alone?
Anyways, in 2006, @IndiaToday listed the 30 best letter's to their editors, one of that was:

As they say, Money is power. Money is freedom. And, wealth brings freedom--not just financial freedom, but also intellectual, emotional freedom and at time freedom from your bad past also!
Since, Money makes everything better.
