Recently she astonished India with a confession of misdeeds, but after she was forgiven, she returned to the retreat at Ahamedabad. A few days ago she appeared at Delhi’s best hotel, Where she said she was Janet Gaynor, the cinema star, and declared she had been robbed of a thousand pounds sterling.
