He also shared another anecdote with the audience. He said, "When I went to South Africa, an elephant approached our lane. I asked the driver to pass him but the driver refused. He said that we must wait till the elephant passes as a respect. Many cars stopped until the animal passed. One stupid fellow tried to pass him but was attacked by the elephant. We had to reverse about 4-5 Km as he charged towards us. Then a ranger created a divergence and the animal left."
