The
much
hyped
'The
Unforgettable
Tour'
is
currently
on
and
we
would
be
giving
a
day
by
day
account
of
all
the
fun
and
happenings.
So
join
the
all
the
stars
and
audience
and
be
a
part
of
the
biggest
ever
show
which
features
the
likes
of
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Jaya
Bachchan,
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Aishwarya
Bachchan,
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Preity
Zinta,
Vishal
and
Shekhar.
Of
course,
there
are
guest
appearances
(Akshay
Kumar,
Madhuri
Dixit,
Shilpa
Shetty)
galore
too
that
add
spice
to
the
proceedings.
Here
we
give
an
account
of
all
the
hype
and
hoopla
which
followed
the
moment
all
the
stars
landed
in
Toronto,
the
first
city
where
they
were
slated
to
perform
in
this
worldwide
tour.
-
At
the
Toronto
airport
itself,
there
were
dozens
of
fans
who
waited
patiently
for
the
stars
to
descend
from
the
airport
lobby.
As
expected,
it
was
a
hysterical
response
with
crowd
greeting
the
performers
with
hysterical
cheering!
-
Amitabh
Bachchan
wasn't
upset
but
highly
amused
with
British
Airways.
Reason?
They
had
misplaced
close
to
a
dozen
suitcases
belonging
to
the
Bachchan
family.
Apart
from
regular
stuff,
the
suitcases
also
contained
the
costumes
which
Bachchans
were
required
to
be
wearing
during
press
conferences
as
well
as
the
shows.
While
Big
B
did
quip
that
his
informal
attire
in
the
press
conference
was
courtesy
British
Airways,
many
were
left
wondering
whether
he
would
also
go
ahead
and
sue
the
airlines.
-
Press
conference
itself
was
a
grand
affair
because
regardless
of
the
event
being
outside
Mumbai,
close
to
400
odd
media
people
were
present
in
full
strength
while
bombarding
the
group
with
questions.
Arrangements
were
impeccable
as
each
of
the
stars
was
seated
on
exclusive
sofa
sets
with
media
going
around
the
hall
and
given
an
opportunity
to
interact
with
each
of
them
on
an
exclusive
basis.
Neat!
-
Security
provided
to
the
stars
was
world
class
with
each
of
them
enjoying
a
personal
security
guard
for
company
at
every
move.
Powered
by
walkie-talkies
and
all
the
associated
gadgets,
these
guards
were
themselves
pretty
cued
about
the
people
for
whom
they
were
responsible
for
the
security
and
couldn't
help
smiling
away
with
the
big
moment
they
found
themselves
in!
-
Gifted
with
a
VVIP
treatment,
the
stars
have
a
Limo
to
their
disposal.
Not
just
that;
the
drive
across
different
venues
is
'pucca
filmy'
with
the
Limos
being
protected
at
both
ends
by
a
couple
of
bikes
each
which
make
sure
that
the
road
ahead
is
kept
clear!
Kya
style
hai!
-
Big
B
also
ensured
that
no
one
from
the
technical
team
ever
get
hassled
by
any
stray
incidence.
When
there
was
some
problem
with
some
equipments,
resulting
in
an
engineer
getting
harassed,
he
comforted
him
and
made
sure
that
he
tried
rectifying
the
problem
with
a
cooler
head.
From
someone
who
has
seen
the
industry
and
been
a
part
of
countless
shows
for
decades,
Amitabh
Bachchan
was
chilled
out
and
didn't
let
any
minor
mishap
hamper
the
spirit
of
the
team.
-
Last
one
heard,
Amitabh
Bachchan
continued
his
reputation
of
being
a
trail
blazer
when
it
came
to
preparations
before
the
show!
Hours
after
landing
in
the
city
and
a
brief
rest
later,
he
was
there
in
the
rehearsal
hall
and
pepped
up
everyone
else
to
come
up
with
their
best.
He
rehearsed
non-stop
with
everyone
else
and
didn't
show
any
signs
of
fatigue
whatsoever!
No
wonder,
the
youngsters
were
left
wondering
about
the
spirit
and
never-say-die
spirit
of
the
man
who
is
well
into
his
60s!
-
Vishal
and
Shekhar
were
left
amazed
when
they
visited
the
stadium
to
have
a
dekko
at
the
arrangements
before
the
show.
Grandeur
was
simply
surreal
as
they
realized
that
the
stage
set
there
was
as
tall
as
5
stories!
The
venue
(Rogers
Centre)
has
a
capacity
to
accommodate
more
than
15000
patrons
and
was
already
sold
out
before
the
kick
start
of
the
show!
