But the lady who stole the show was Priyanka Chopra, making her first public appearance.

In town to promote a cell phone brand, the actress talked about how everyone's addicted to gadgets these days.

"These days every one has a cell phone. Even my Bhajjiwali has one. We call her and order vegetables on cell phone. It is good fun actually," she said. 

Of course it was inevitable that she would be asked what she thought of the season's biggest releases Om Shanti Om and Sawariyan. 

But for her loyalty rules. 

"Deepika is a friend of mine. I think she totally deserves the kind of success she has got from the film. The film has done incredibly well and it deserves too because it is a very very entertaining film. I enjoyed it," said Priyanka Chopra, actor.

Priyanka's appearance seems to have charmed Chandigarh and her next film is sure to do well here.

Bollywood heartthrob Priyanka Chopra was the main attraction today as she had a meeting with children at the NGO. She is the brand ambassador for Spice Telecom, and was presented roses by the children.  The children were very excited about meeting their favourite actress, even though they had to wait for more than an hour to meet her. Chopra promised them to visit their school next time she visits the city.

Chopra spoke about the importance of routine and theatre with the children. “It is a special moment for me and I am touched with this special gesture. I am privileged to be able to meet up with these lovely children and share some time with them. I am proud to be a part of the Spice family,” Priyanka Chopra said. 

Commenting on the occasion, Navin Kaul, CEO, Spice Telecom said, “This is a humanitarian cause, one of the many initiatives by Spice Telecom. It is a small gesture to demonstrate that Spice Telecom is paying its debt towards the society.” 

“Spiceans have always come forward to support any noble cause, as this is our way of saying we care for the people of Punjab. It is indeed a privilege and honour to be associated with Zulfikar.” 

Zulfikar Khan established Theatre Age in 1992 with the aim to lead children onto a path of self discovery through the medium of theatre.
