This takes our breath away. Sources say that Peter Mukerjea was his cheerful jolly self and the picture of equanimity, when they met him over drinks in Goa recently. ''He drank his rum and coke and appeared pleasant and unruffled,'' said the source, adding, ''When he was asked if he really did not know that Sheena was his wife’s daughter, he swore he really hadn’t known. And when asked how he didn’t think it was suspicious that she’d disappeared for three years he insisted that he believed she’d been in the USA.''

Did he seem devastated that his wife was in jail on a murder charge we asked the source. ''No,'' he replied a bit dazed himself. ''In fact he appeared very dispassionate about Indrani’s incarceration. Very composed and not at all ruffled by it.''
