It was her first  visit to Ahmemadad. But one that she’s unlikely to forget for the rest of her life.

Thousands of  star-struck Gujarati  fans  swarmed the Kanavati Club when when they got to know the event organized by Vashu Bhagnani for his son Jackky’s debut will feature Kareena Kapoor.

The fans were excitable enough when Sophie Chowdhary danced with Jackky Bhagnani.

But all hell and yell broke loose when Kareena came on stage for a medley of her hit songs.

To say pandemonium  prevailed would be an understatement.As  hundreds of Kareena’s fan ran towards her on stage  the security  bandobast went almost bust.

Anything could have happened to the panic-stricken actress.

Groggy and shaken Vashu Bhagnani said, “It’s true. Ahmedabad went  crazy for Kareena.We expected  a huge turn-out at the Karnavati Club. But  not  this much. 30,000 people showed up. And when  Kareena  came on stage they lost control. About 400 people rushed  to the stage. Fortunately we whisked her  out from the back entrance. So nothing untoward happened.”

Vashu is eternally indebted to Kareena. “She took on these frenzied fans  for my son’s sake.Who says this film industry is heartless? Kareena is all heart.”

In fact after the Ahmedabad incident  Vashu had reservations about asking Kareena to be part of the next Vashu-Jackky show in Delhi on  27 May. But Kareena is adamant.

Says  Kareena,  “Yeah it  did get pretty tricky at a  point. Yeh sab hota hai.  It was my first  visit to Ahemedabad  .  I performed a medley of  my best songs choreographed  by Remo. It  was for Vashuji’s son. How  can I forget he  gave me my first big hit Mujhe Kuch Kehna  Hai?No when his son  is entering films it’s my duty to  support him.”

The unruly fans  rattled her. But to her surprise  hordes of her little  girl -fans  descended at the venue of the performance dressed as her character Geet in Jab We Met.

Laughs Kareena pleasurably, “It simply zapped me. I completely forgot  the  heat  of Ahmedabad when I saw  those  girls.  It will be  a  long time  before I’m allowed  to forget  Geet  in  Jab We Met.” - Subhash K Jha / Sampurn Media
