Riding with a stranger

Akshay Kumar, who otherwise never attends premieres, certainly regretted making an exception for his wife Twinkle's co-produced film, Thank You. The actor along with Bobby Deol was all geared up to attend the film's premiere at Chandan theatre in Juhu.

However, the Mumbai traffic did not spare even the Bollywood A-listers, who had to ditch their wives and hitchhike a ride with an absolute stranger.

An eyewitness gave us the details, "Akshay and Bobby stopped a surprised passerby, on a motorbike. They hopped on double-pillion and proceeded to the much delayed premiere screening."

In a Bollywood inspired move, a crowd ran behind the motorbike all the way to the theatre.

Anees Bazmee recalling the mayhem, told us, "It was a sight straight out of one of my comedies. We were waiting for Akshay and Bobby at Chandan, when we saw them riding into the venue on a stranger's motorbike with a huge group of people running after them.

We had no clue what was happening, until the flustered boys told us that the road leading to Akshay's house was blocked with traffic."

After breaking traffic rules riding triple seat on a bike and that too without helmets, Kumar and Deol refused to go along with the elaborate plans made for the evening. Bazmee adds, "We had hired elephants to take the two actors inside the theatre compound.

Quite understandably, Akshay and Bobby were in no mood to ride elephants after the wild motorcycle ride .We just let the elephants loiter at the premiere as part of our invitees."Link https://mumbaimirror.com/article/30/2011040820110408033108153dc752c79/Riding-with-a-stranger.html?pageno=2
