John Cena in Mumbai
Wrestler-turned-actor John was greeted with excitement as he arrived in Mumbai on Friday afternoon. Wearing a grey tee shirt, tan shorts, and a cap, he smiled as he spotted the paparazzi clicking him and yelling out his name. The desi paparazzi were back with their ‘Jhendaya’ antics (Who can forget the hilarity that ensued during the NMACC launch?), calling out for ‘John babu’ and ‘John kaka’. After thanking his posse, he waved at the photographers before getting into his car, adding to the buzz around the event.
John is not the first international celebrity to fly in. Reality TV stars Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian were also clicked arriving in Mumbai on Thursday evening. Kim wore a figure-hugging dress, with her hair up in a bun, while Khloe opted for a casual white tee-shirt and jeans, leaving her hair loose. The duo received an Indian-style welcome at their hotel. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas also flew in for the wedding on Thursday morning.
