Schwarzenegger in India: Touring the land of spices
Schwarzenegger postpones shooting of his upcoming film to visit India.
NEW DEHLI:
Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger always wanted to experience the culture and heritage of India and says he is feeling great about being in the country. He even delayed the shoot of his upcoming film Last Stand because of his trip.
“I always wanted to visit and experience the rich culture, beauty and the history of India. I am shooting for my film Last Stand since October, but I had to delay the shoot because I was supposed to come to the subcontinent. It feels nice to be in India,” the actor said on Thursday while attending the 12th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit.
The former governor of California is in the Indian capital to attend the summit that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh inaugurated. “Besides the food, I had a great time speaking to the Delhi Sustainability Summit,” Schwarzenegger wrote on his Twitter page.
Schwarzenegger turned out to be a huge fan of spicy food. The actor relished some Indian dishes and naan during his day-long visit to Delhi. “I loved the food. I’ve loved my first trip to India. Here I am with the biggest piece of naan in Delhi. Thank you all, especially @andyz136, for the recommendation to eat at Bhukara,” he further posted. The naan was specially made for him by the chefs at Bukhara, a restaurant in Hotel Maurya Sheraton.
The Terminator star will also give Abhishek Bachchan the Green Globe for Outstanding Efforts by a Celebrity award for his contribution towards creating a greener environment at the Green Globe Foundation Awards Ceremony. The awards have been instituted as a salutation to the efforts of organisations and individuals fighting climate change through their work in environment preservation and regeneration.
