Avinash and Rubina have been in the US since Oct 7. I have been in touch with them regularly and they have been sharing their experiences with me. Here is the summary of what they told me about the trip so far:
They landed in Houston on the 7th and were surrounded by people through out their stay in Houston. They barely slept a couple of hours each day while they were in Houston (that too after a long 24+ hour journey from Bombay). That is why they looked so "lost" in the pictures. This being their first trip they did not know what to expect. They were quiet overwhelmed with the schedule of events.
Both Avi and Ruby were very pleased to meet so many fans and were very appreciative of them for being so polite and courteous. They were very touched by the love and admiration their fans showered on them and they in turn were happy to oblige their fans with their time and the opportunity to take pictures with them. However, as always, there were exceptions. Some fans hounded them, some used deceptive means to get close to them, some knocked on their door at ungodly hour and disrupted what ever little sleep time they got, some grabbed food from their plate while having lunch 😡, etc., etc., But because of their sweet and courteous nature they took it in stride and moved on. They left Houston for New Jersey where they have some private engagements before they leave for WI / Trinidad. Their schedule in US is jam packed with appearances and events (both public and private). They will probably have no time for rest and relaxation or sight seeing 😔.
I will keep you all updated about Avina via this thread.
My humble request to fans who are planning to meet them -
Please use the rules of common courtesy when you meet AviNa. I know some may argue that they signed up for a public life when they decided to join the acting profession. But that does not mean they stop being real people just like us who need some space of their own. In spite of being so popular and appreciated the world over, both Avi and Ruby are very approachable, sweet, humble and friendly. So please reciprocate their goodness in kind.
