Ahmedabad, DeshGujarat, 1 June, 2010Dressed in white Pathani kurta-pijama, legendary film star Amitabh Bachchan reached world’s last abode of Asiatic lions, at Gir sanctuary in Gujarat today morning through chartered plane till Diu and road journey then after. Shri Amitabh Bachchan reached Sasan Gir sanctuary at around 10:30 am and welcomed here. He directly went to Sinh Sadan cottage for rest.
Shri Bachchan is being treated as state guest. He has been allotted same room which was allotted to Indian President last year when she visited this sanctuary. In fact Shri Bachchan’s visit has created much more excitement than the President’s visit last year, and all other VIP visits in recent past.
A series of banners and sign boards welcomed Amitabh Bachchan on his way to Sasan Gir. Almost all banners carry Shri Bachchan’s photo. One of the hoardings said “King of Jungle welcomes King of Indian Cinema”, another banner with Big B’s photo said, “A full of heart welcome to Sasan Gir.”
Shri Bachchan’s fans didn’t leave him alone even in the jungle. However heavy security of state police prevented them to go near the superstar. District police chief and district collector had earlier personally visited Sasan Gir sanctuary to witness preparations for Shri Bachchan’s visit.
On Tweeter, Amitabh said, a typical Gujju lunch was terrific….Vegetation a lot greener here, a departure from the arid Kutch, but in the forest will be dry again….A whole hoard of personnel came over to set up the internet … finally got it working … phew !! Relief !! Now to connect to you..
