PATNA: He came, he saw and he took the city by surprise before leaving for Varanasi by road on Wednesday.
'Hey, it's Aamir Khan!" shouted a young man when he spotted the star in his car moving on the Bailley Road. Very few people had the inkling of Aamir's maiden visit to the city though his plan to attend a wedding in Varanasi was made public earlier.
The news, that one of the '3 Idiots' was in the city, spread like a wild fire. People inside and around the zoo felt lucky to have a glimpse of the film star who took time off in the sweltering heat to enjoy Bihar's famous cuisine, 'litti-chokha', near the Gate no 1 of the zoo. Traffic on the road came to a standstill as many of his fans were seen capturing him on their mobile phones when Aamir was licking his fingers after enjoying the state's famous delicacy.
After landing at the Patna airport from Mumbai in the afternoon, the 'Ghajini' of Bollywood spent almost three hours in the city before leaving for Varanasi to attend the wedding of the son of a rickshaw-puller, Ram Lakhan.
It might have been Aamir's maiden visit to the city, but the actor-director had come prepared with the menu of tasty and popular delicacies of the state.
After the litti-chokha, his caravan took a break at Maner where he relished the famous 'Maner ka ladoo'.
Aamir was on way to Varanasi to attend the wedding of a rickshaw puller, Ram Lakhan's son. Lakhan had taken Aamir on a tour around Varanasi during the shooting of his film '3 Idiots'. When Lakhan went all the way to Mumbai to invite Aamir for the wedding, the actor could not disappoint him.
Meanwhile, Patna police had a tough time controlling the crowd of the actor's fans. "Bihar police escorted the actor up to Kaimur border," said Manoj Kumar, Patna SP (rural).
