A little-known person from Delhi, later identified as a certain Suhel Seth, insulted former India hockey captain, Arjuna Award winner and chief operating officer of India's premier sporting talent agency, Olympic Gold Quest, Viren Rasquinha at a city event on Sunday.

According to Rasquinha's Twitter feed, "It's so disappointing when I am invited by the Times Lit fest to speak and get dissed on stage by a guy who doesn't even know who I am. Even more disappointing to have the times lit fest director Bachchi Karkaria behave condescendingly. What's with these cosy clubs. I really do wonder though how Suhel Seth holds forth on everything under the sun and what exactly is his domain expertise". He added that Seth came on stage and said, "Don't know what that bald guy was doing on a panel on sport, what's he done."
