Whoa.... my hands are still paining after all the pushing and shoving.
Yea...we did all of that to catch one glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor, the rock star.
The venue was the Provogue studio at Phoenix Mills.
Slated time to make an appearance 6 PM.
This was a promotional event for Ranbir's upcoming movie -
Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahaani. He was accompanied by Katrina Kaif who also looked gorgeous.
me and my 2 other office friends hurried to Phoenix Mill at 1815. And the scene we saw outside the Provogue studio made us feel that we might not be able to catch even a glimpse. Hordes of young gals and guys had gathered and lined the gangway(to put it mildly).
Just as we were figuring out how would we do this arduous task of watching the stars, their car arrived and we were bulldozed to make way for it. In that, one of my chappals slipped off and i saw one of the security guards pick it up for the car to drive in
smoothly. Katrina peeked out of the car window and waved, so caught her for a teeny bit more than Ranbir. The SUV stopped and immediately Katrina stepped out followed by Ranbir. That was the first glimpse and man, it was worth it. One flash and the 2 stars went into the studio.
We stationed ourselves outside the studio, pulling, pushing, shoving, breathing, sweating, shouting. i got separated from my 2 colleagues and stood at a corner. And waited for them to step out. my phone hung up when the separated friend called, so i couldn't receive her call. They had climbed up the stairs to get a better view.
For around 40 minutes, we waited. And then, they stepped out. Katrina came out of nowhere just like a fairy. Dressed in a yellow top and a hair band (only so much was visible of her), she made a pretty picture. And out stepped Ranbir in his white t-shirt and side-parted hair. Man, he looked heavenly!!
Strong bodyguards protected them and made sure nobody could get near them. The reporters and photographers went click-click. So did the whole crowd with their mobile phones, but to stand on your toes, balance yourself and take a picture with your hands was a task, today for me, so i couldn't take any pictures.
By that time, i had misplaced both my chappals. i stood there barefoot keeping some perverts at bay.
It was some experience!!!!
i didn't faint or stuff but was close to it as people kept falling on each other. In between, there was an over smart dude, who kept saying that,
itna hi hai toh sau rupaye ka ticket khareed ke dekh lona, nahi toh DVD, woh khareed lo. But he didn't move even one bit, just stood there enlightening people. Obviously, the crowd pushed him over to the other side.
When the car drove off and the crowd drifted, i looked for my chappals and found many others who were looking for theirs. One of my chappals was in the hand of my colleague and the other one i found too quickly.
We stepped into McDonald's to have some Coke and shared our feeling.
Woohooo.... some other day, i would like to have a rendezvous with Ranbir Kapoor, but this one would be a memorable one too.
