Questioner: Am I allowed to make a portrait of you?
Huzoor: Of course, sir. Nothing to be forgiven, to be thankful in fact. I’ll be grateful if you take a portrait, but with you yourself in it. Why somebody else should take our portrait together? Right? Yes.
Audience: I think you mean hand-drawn portrait, not a picture.
Huzoor: No, that’s not called portrait. I wanted to draw a picture.
Huzoor: You will draw?
Audience: Yes, yes.
Huzoor: You said take a portrait. To take a portrait is different. To draw is different. You want to draw me? No, I don’t like to be drawn.
