MOHALI: A bevy of Bollywood stars added a dash of glamour to Wednesday's high-octane World Cup semi-final clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan. Top actor Aamir Khan was flanked by his wife Kiran Rao in the VIP enclosure of the 30,000-seater Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, packed to capacity for the epic day-night clash.
Khan was joined by actors Vivek Oberoi, Rahul Bose and Dino Morea and popular Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi in the glass-enclosure.
“Billion Indian hearts beating for 11 boys in blue to make India proud,” tweeted Oberoi.
Morea said he was enjoying the energy of fans. “Flight to Chandigarh packed with blues, people screaming, great energy.
Chatter is interesting, everyone has an opinion on how India should play. Mad security, and great energy in Mohali,” he wrote on Twitter.
The presence of the stars triggered a frenzy among fans who cheered loudly and tried to take pictures on their mobiles.
“We could not have asked for more,” said Aarti Guha, 20, who came to see the match with her mother and younger sister.
“Aamir is my heartthrob. I had never imagined that I will be able to see him in person and that too at a cricket match involving India and Pakistan.
“It's a dream come true for me!”
