The Idea IIFA press conference in the morning was a colourful affair. Lady B (Jaya Bachchan) was attired in a pistachio green-and-gold silk salwar kameez. Dia Mirza dressed in something between a cheong and a dress? The actress was seen striding from one corner of the hotel to another with security guards in tow. She appeared to be as busy as the Bachchans though we don’t know with what!After the IIFA press conference where Amitabh Bachchan and the Indian ambassador to Thailand Latha Reddy were presented two symbolic bowls of rice (rice is the staple diet of Thai and Indians) by two children. AB then planted a sapling at the Dusit Thani hotel park. He reminisced, “This reminds me of last year when I had planted a champa tree at the United Nations and thus grew the tree of friendship. I hope to do that too here in Bangkok.” Bachchan was also presented a huge bronze elephant as a symbol of friendship between the two countries.
