Johannesburg, May 16: He may be bollywood's
superbrat, but when Salman Khan arrived here for the IIFA
awards, he definitely attracted a crowd in South Africa.
Unlike many other stars who alighted early at the
Johannesburg international airport yesterday, Khan made a last
entry but a lasting impression, as fans cheered wildly,
screaming his name.
Later in the day, during the charity cricket match in
centurion park, Khan, who was supposed to lead one of the
teams did not take the captain's cap, but made an appearance
at the balcony during the game.
Screaming fans turned their back to the game in the pitch
for around half-an-hour, to get a glimpse and perhaps an
autograph from the obliging star.
The Indian community in
South Africa seems to know everything about Bollywood
happenings, thanks to the proliferation of NRI-oriented
entertainment channels. "Indian films also come in south
africa, some run for weeks," said Shruti, an Indian origin
teacher who had come from Pretoria to see the IIFA charity
cricket match. She went on asking what went wrong with the
proposed marriage between Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma
Kapoor. "You got any news on this?" she asked.
