Beauty & the crowd
Dia Mirza may not be missed much on big screen, but as she appears at Elante Mall, the crowd goes berserk
It was a classic case of more hype than could be handled. Eager beavers, curious cats, peeping toms…the crowds gather by the minute and everybody joins in to catch some of the star dust. An interaction with Dia Mirza at Elante Mall appears anything but feasible, courtesy the people shoving from left, right and centre and every possible direction. A photograph, an autograph, a glimpse…anything would do. A quote would've done for us! Alas, the introductory notes and pleasantries are lost in the din of the noise, the accompanying ruckus and the resultant chaos.
