Bollywood star arrives in Auckland

Top Indian celebrity, Shah Rukh Khan, has arrived in Auckland but is avoiding the media before performing in one of the most expensive shows staged at Vector Arena tomorrow night.

Khan, who flew in from Mumbai via Singapore, tweeted early this afternoon: "In Auckland how pretty is this place?! Now onto rehearsals and stuff. Was so many years ago I performed here ... very different and new."

The photograph with the tweet gives away his hotel location in the central city.

His publicist cancelled media engagements today saying he had arrived late on the plane.

Auckland Indian media published requests for fans not to bother the star and Auckland Airport urged people not to go to the airport.

"Due to public safety and airport operational concerns this week's arrival and departure of the celebrities will now take place in

private," airport corporate affairs manager Simon Lambourne said.

"Fans are advised not to come to the airport as they will not be able to see Mr Khan and the other Bollywood celebrities."

Khan's Temptation Reloaded show, with a cast of 110, will play tomorrow night at Vector Arena with the cheapest tickets - way at the back - going for $199. The best seats in the house go for $650.

Its promoters say it's not the most expensive show performed at Vector - Andrea Bocelli owns that honour.

Khan's arrival coincides with a survey of 5500 urban Indians by the world's biggest online matrimonial service, Shaadi.com, which said Khan was the best celeb for the rugged look. His 26.3 per cent approval for his "rugged avatar" beat out Ranbir Kappor on 21.2 per cent and Hrithik Roshan on 11.03 per cent.

The poll showed that 63.3 per cent of the respondents voted in favour of the rugged look while only 36.7 per cent voted for a clean-shaven look. "The study shows that most women today are looking for a partner who is mature, well groomed and who appears masculine," Shaadi's chief operating officer, Gourav Rakshit, said.
