Are you serious?
Damad ji is still billionaire in dollar terms.
so is mallaya, fanne ji, .........
but is mallaya still the "king of good times" in the UK or has he, because of his fugitive status, been downgraded to a mere unremarkable plebeian on the footpath, with more money than sense .....
whereas, back home in India, uncle mallaya just couldn't appear in public without a growing mob in tow and excited reporters clicking away
Here in India, there are hangers on who cheer daamaad shri's every pedestrian word and mediocre deed, media darbaaris who kiss his corrupted butt all day long, people deferring to his every whim and fancy, naukars, chaakars in the best traditions of the bygone britshit empire and an entire ecosystem that nurtures him in safety, deference, comfort and personal protection, all at huge public cost.
In one of my earlier avataars with the airlines, I have seen such entitled praanis in operation from close proximity... like royalty with their obsequious courtiers in tow
They never pay for travel, food, hotel stays, and clothes etc, ...... whatever. Expensive cars appear magically to take them wherever they desire to go, while celebrity chefs curate their meals and take selfies with them.... and it all hinges on the invincible aura of political/star power that shines on them from on high and eases their way through life, by magically opening every door that they may desire to go through
bill gates carries his own stuff, as do guys like musk, and others of similar ilk but this culture is not prevalent in India.
and if perchance, daamaad shri ever needs to count to 21, then be assured that there is already a designated naukaar who will strip for him, to prevent any तकलीफ or कष्ट to the venerable persona of the daamaad shri
So, if push came to shove, and daamaad shri had to cut and run, which gora govt would jeopardize relations by "hosting" him and why would anyone risk the consequences of defying a pissed off GoI
So, what would daamaad shri do in pathetic anonymity in some goraland, even with a $billion in the bank .....
The entire meaning of his entitled life and reality of his existence is tied to his life in India, in general, and lootyens dilli in particular, and further more, the absoluteness of his survival is rooted in the undeniable fact that daamaad shri exists (and survives) only because of his proximity to the mafia famiglia.
without these two intersecting and also mutually self sustaining ecosystems, he would be like a fish out of water, with all the attendant endgame ramifications
and it is also no big secret that daamaad shri is increasingly being seen as a political albatross round the neck of the mafia famiglia by many congi advisors
