Allegations of mismanagement took gloss off the first-ever live performance of 'Bollywood Badshaah' Shahrukh Khan in Dhaka.
The huge crowd that assembled at the Mirpur Army Stadium since Friday noon to watch the versatile actor of Hindi film entertain them 'for over 12 hours' was reportedly harassed by the heavy-handed volunteers.
The volunteers were at times rude and even shoved the crowed in between stands.
Fans of 'King Khan' queued for hours on end at the stadium gates as organiser, Antor Showbiz, was too slow to let them in.
Seating arrangements were simply in disarray. Spectators with the priciest tickets had no chairs and had to sit on the ground. Many scrambled for a seat.
The galleries were packed beyond capacity. Surprisingly, nearly 25,000 enthusiasts were presented with a five hour long concert that began at 6:20 pm, a good hour and a half behind schedule.
Outside, commuters on the busy Airport Road were stuck in traffic gridlock while ill-equipped police and organisers failed to take control.
Shahrukh reached the capital at 2:35 pm with his wife Gouri Khan, son Arian and daughter Sohana. The king went for rehearsals in the afternoon.
His associates including glamourous Mumbai actress Rani Mukharjee and actor Arjun Rampal reached Dhaka Thursday.
