Andhra Pradesh

The ‘royals’ are here

The presence of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in the city on Thursday created an air of excitement. Right from their arrival at Begumpet airport, fans waited to get a glimpse of their favourite stars.

Speaking to press persons, signing autographs for enthusiastic fans at the airport and their hotel, and posing pretty for pictures comes with being a Bollywood star.

However, their sense of timing at an appearance at one of the theatres had a Hyderbadi touch to it -- they were one-and-a-half hours late.
