A source close to the actor said, "Abhishek had gone to Delhi on Saturday for some important meeting and promotional activities as the brand ambassador for a particular product. He was staying at his own house in Delhi. In the evening, he had to drive around Connaught Place to reach the venue of an event." "As he was nearing Connaught Place, Abhishek heard a huge bang. He had no idea what the noise was all about. It was only when he reached the hotel that learnt that the noise he had heard was because of the blast that happened at Connaught Place," added the source. We contacted Amitabh Bachchan to know about Abhishek's terrifying experience. Amitabh said, "Yes, Abhishek had just reached Delhi for a press meet for Drona, an Omega event and then to shoot for Dilli 6. He was minutes away from the blasts at Connaught Place… Horrifying and shocking the tragic events…" The event was cancelled and Abhishek was asked to go back home no sooner did he reach the venue. "On his way back, he witnessed the panic and the traumatic sight where the blasts had taken place. He saw all the commotion and destruction, which disturbed him a lot," said the source. According to the source, on Sunday he was supposed to meet some of the most well-known media people for interviews. Initially, Abhishek was reluctant to cancel his meetings, but he also said that he was just not in the right frame of mind to give interviews. When contacted, Abhishek's friend, Shristi Behl said, "Like any sensitive Indian, Abhishek too was deeply affected by the blasts. He cancelled his scheduled events as he felt he was not up for it and it would be too insensitive to promote a film, while the city was going through such a tragic situation." "He's an extremely sensitive person and was tremendously disturbed by what he saw. Generally, he's always naughty and up to some or the other mischief. But after the incident, he was just not himself and was unusually serious. He just went home that evening and didn't meet anyone after that," added the source. |

| Amitabh Bachchan to do 'Aladdin' sequel too |
 Spicezee BureauMumbai, Sept 13: The makers of 'Aladdin', the film that guarantees some of the best visual effects ever seen in Bollywood, have already announced a sequel to the movie even before the release of the flick starring Amitabh Bachchan. The sequel is slated to go on floors sometime next year and the producers Eros Films want to retain the original star cast. After having a look at the rushes of Aladdin starring Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh & Jackie Fernandes, Eros (the producer) is confident of the product. In an interview given to a website, Aladdin's director Sujoy Ghosh gushed "I was completely taken aback and touched by Eros' reaction. This was a very nice gesture by them. Aladdin 2 will be a bigger challenge and much more fun. I don't understand crossover cinema but the aim is to make a full on Hindi film, songs, dances et all, for a global audience." Amitabh Bachchan has apparently given his go ahead for the sequel and is all set to start working on it once he is done with his current projects. Guess Papa Bachchan is following the footsteps of Aby baby, as the latter has confirmed working for the sequel of his SFX flick 'Drona'. |

A traffic snarl proved providential for Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who decided to turn back just as he was nearing Connaught Place to attend a function there Saturday evening - minutes before two blasts shook the area.
His father, Amitabh Bachchan, wrote on his blog, "Shattered and shocked he called to say he was alright."
"Abhishek had left in the afternoon for New Delhi and was on his way to Connaught Place for a function he had to attend. Minutes away from there, the traffic became a snarl and he knew he would not make it in time so he asked to turn back. And the blast happened just then," Amitabh wrote on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com on Sunday.
Abhishek was here as part of a media promotional event and to shoot for the last scenes of his "Dilli 6". However, he had to cancel his programme after the blast, considering the gravity of the situation, his father wrote.
"He was just not able to conduct them (activities). Cancelled them. It would have been too insensitive," he wrote.
The veteran actor revealed that his son has left a decision on whether to continue the shooting to the producers.
"He has left the decision to the producers. Cancelling would be interpreted as succumbing to the threat. I wonder what they decide."
Amitabh also expressed his grief for the victims of Saturday's serial blasts.
"Jaya and I sit alone in the house, our hearts still with the tragedy in Delhi. What of those who bore the brunt - innocent unaware and victims."
"We live in difficult times. What kind of an environment are we leaving behind for our next generation? Or do we not concern ourselves with that? We need peace and harmony," he concluded.
