By IANSSunday, August 29, 2010
NEW DELHI - Fan frenzy was at its peak when Bollywood star Salman Khan, sporting a clean-shaven look, came to a mall here to promote his upcoming police drama “Dabangg”.
Sporting a red t-shirt and blue faded jeans, Salman was looking at his best and the hundreds of fans who gathered at DLF Promenade, Vasant Kunj, went berserk on seeing their favourite star.
The fans, who had been desperately waiting for him for more than one-and-a-half-hours, burst into cheers the moment Salman walked in with his co-star Sonakshi Sinha and brother Arbaaz Khan, who has produced the film.
The overcrowded mall reverberated with clapping and cheering when the star stepped on the dais waving and blowing kisses to his fans, but could barely speak due the noise.
“Maine ek mall mein itni bheed kabhi nahi dekhi (I have never seen so many people in a mall). Love you all,” the surprised Salman told his fans.
People were seen pushing and jostling with each other in a bid to get a closer look of their favourite star. When the actor spotted a mother carrying a small child in the maddening crowd, a concerned Salman told the bouncers: “Please take care of the child and the mother.”
Then he spotted an old lady patiently waiting for him in the crowd and called her to join him on the stage.
Salman even entertained audiences by performing the chartbuster “Tere mast mast do nain” from “Dabangg”, which is releasing Sep 10.
He even distributed the aviators he has worn in the film and the first one to receive this was the little girl in her mother’s lap.
The actor’s female fan following is so intense that one of the girls even started crying in a desperation to meet him. “Please let me meet him once, just once,” said the girl.
All in all, he didn’t speak much but certainly left the crowd asking for more.
