Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was to give away the Green Globe award to Abhishek, was missing in action
I have no clue as to what happened. I heard he was supposed to be here but right now I have no news or confirmation," said Abhishek Bachchan while referring to the visit of Hollywood superstar and former US governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was supposed to present AB Junior with an award at a ceremony in the capital on Thursday. Schwarzenegger was slated to present Bachchan with the Green Globe for Outstanding Efforts By A Celebrity for his efforts towards a greener future at the fourth edition of the Green Globe Foundation Awards, but he never showed up.
Abhishek was not the only one - equally clueless about the actor's whereabouts were the guests, winners, nominees and mediapersons present at the venue.
Schwarzenegger did not even show up for the dinner that followed the awards ceremony. But, while everyone wondered where he was and the reason for his missing the ceremony (of which he was the guest of honour), Arnie reportedly was enjoying a cigar sitting by the poolside of the hotel lobby. According to a source, "Arnold was wearing a light brown suit and he sat by the poolside puffing a cigar. His security guards surrounded him and did not let me and my friends get an autograph. My friend asked him about the next "Terminator" movie while he was casually strolling around the lobby but he simply smiled and walked away."
A staff member of the hotel said, "Arnold arrived on Wednesday night. He was here for a green summit. He barely left his room all day but came out to enjoy a cigar. He did not talk to anyone and uske aaspaas hamesha paanch security guards ghum rahe the."
Although Abhishek may not have had a chance to receive an award from Arnold, he said he doesn't mind working with the "Terminator" actor for a greener future. "If given a chance I would love to work with Arnold. If he (Schwarzenegger) thinks I'm worthy of working with him on any initiative towards a greener tomorrow, then I'd be more than happy to help him," he said.
