It was the grand primere of much awaited comeback film of director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi-6 that released on February 20.
The red carpet was set, the barricades grounded, and the security tight. But nothing could prevent Delhi girls to hoot at the highest tempo to shake hands, express their love and catch a glimpse of their guarded star Abhishek Bachchan. Written and directed by Mehra, the UTV produced film also stars Sonam Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Prem Chopra, Waheeda Rehman and Atul Kulkarni - who were also present at the
occasion.
Also present at the event were a bevy of Bollywood stars including, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Kunal Kapoor and movie's producer Ronnie Screwala. Women from all age groups - married, college going and teenage girls - filled the environment with an energy to meet Abhishek at PVR Priya in New Delhi on Thursday night.
"Abhishek I love you", "Abhishek marry me", "Abhishek, you are the best" were among the many slogans the fair-sex aficionados couldn't stop shouting when the whole star cast of Delhi-6 arrived at the event.
"I have been here since the last three hours and I am not leaving the place until I shake hands with Abhishek," said Richa Yadav, a Class 12 student from DPS, Mathura Road, who finally managed to capture pictures of her star from the least distance across the barricade.
Hooted a gang of eight girls from Delhi University: "Abhishek, you have to pick one from us. We won't let you go."
Abhi himself was overwhelmed with the response."It's mind blowing. It's amazing. I love Delhi and the response and zeal of the people here is fantastic. I hope it remains the same in theatres as well," said Abhishek, who looked really hap in a jet-black three-piece suit.
