Never mind the long wait. From elderly matrons to giggling girls - hordes of fans queued up outside the capital’s Delite Cinema for a glimpse of Salman Khan who turned up only three hours late to open the advance bookings for his film London Dreams.

Clad in a ‘Being Human’ white shirt and tattered blue jeans, the 43-year-old actor arrived with director-producer Vipul Shah in a black Audi SUV. His arrival brought the traffic at the Asaf Ali Road to a grinding halt.

“I am sorry for being late. I could not get up early,” apologised Salman.

“I have sold tickets for this one (film) and I’ll usher the audiences for my next film,” he added.

Salman’s presence helped the sales of the tickets for the film. “The two-screen theatre sold close to 500 tickets, courtesy the hype created by the actor. Also starring in the film is Ajay Devgan. The film is about “deep friendship more than any love triangle or music”, said Salman.

Shilpa Shetty may have got engaged to London-based beau Raj Kundra after a two-year courtship but she is determined to wait for sis Shamita before she announces the big day.

“It’s been a time of both joy and sorrow for me. The joy is obvious because Raj and I feel happy to take our relationship to the next level, but as most of you know my sister Shamita could not attend. She doesn’t even know”, lamented the bride-to-be.

Shamita, who is currently participating in Colors’ reality show Bigg Boss 3, is locked in a house with 10 more inmates and has no connection with the world outside.

“It will be a big shock for her when I show her the ring. She’ll kill me, I’m sure”, confessed the former Big Brother contestant.

Shilpa who is very close to sis, is determined to have Shamita by her side as she goes public with her big step.

“I wanted to have Shamita there during this special moment, but I had to be considerate towards Raj’s family too. So for all those who wanted to know why I went ahead without Shamita, it was a difficult decision but this is the answer”, she explained.

So far Shilpa has not commented on her sister’s stay in Bigg Boss house. But now she says that she is proud of Shamita.

“I’ve never commented on what I think of her in there, but just want to say she’s been the pampered baby in our house. It made our whole family so proud to see her have no airs and do all the chores with no qualms. She’s never cooked in her life and I saw her make rotis. I felt terrible watching her cry on TV, but I am amazed to see her growth on the show. This will definitely make her a stronger person. So proud of the way she’s conducting herself with so much dignity.”

“I knew they would order me to give up movies. Luckily, because my helmet covered my face through most of the mo’bike racing scenes, I tricked them into believing it was a body-double”, confesses the Main Hoon Na star. But the me to be alive to complete the film,” he said.
