Ashwini Bhatnagar, author of 'The Lotus Years - Political Life in India in the Time of Rajiv Gandhi', says, fond of driving cars at a fast pace, Rajiv used to fly the aircraft in a very disciplined manner, initially, he used to drive Dakota but later he was flying Boeing. Whenever he was in the pilot's seat, he used to welcome the passengers by simply mentioning their first name from the cockpit.
When Rajiv Gandhi went to Cambridge to take a Tripos course in Engineering, he met Sonia Gandhi, born in Italy, in 1965 and he fell in love with her. Ashwini Bhatnagar explains, they both used to go to a Greek restaurant, "Rajiv persuaded the restaurant owner Charles Antony to put them on the side table of Sonia. Charles, like a good Greek businessman, asked him for this job. Double the money. "
Later he said in Simi Garewal's film on Rajiv Gandhi that 'I have never seen anyone in love so much before.' When Rajiv used to study in Cambridge, he used to sell ice cream to meet his expenses and went on a cycle to meet Sonia.
