NEW DELHI: Vijay Mallya appeared at the London high court this morning in a 4x4 black car accompanied by his son Siddharth and girlfriend ex-Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) hostess Pinky Lalwani. Despite today's hearing being critical which could lead to his extradition within days he appeared calm.Dressed in a sharp black suit and black and gold tie he said: "We have our legal options open to us and you will hear about them. I have an experienced legal team who will protect my interests." When asked if he was ready to get on a plane and fly back to India he said, "If that is what has to happen that will happen. I am prepared for any eventuality so we will see how it plays out."When asked how he felt, he said: "There are no feelings. This is a court not a cricket match that one can predict what is going to happen."He said everyone in his family feels positive. "We have been through a lot so this is just one more step. My message to the Indian government as I have said many times is the money is there please take it. I don't want any concessions. Please take 100% back and both lets get on with our lives. You should ask them why they are not taking it. I can't fathom it. Every day there is news of bad loans and loan defaulters and I have been begging them to take the money and for one reason or another they don't seem to."When asked if he had contingency plans, he said "you will hear about those" and today "may not be" the final step. He predicted Australia would face India in the Cricket World Cup (CWC) finals as Australia are playing "superbly" and lit another cigar.
