Poor Sonam and Abhishek…

It’s been a trying time for the lead pair of Dilli 6. First Abhishek Bachchan lost his grandmother and had to rush back from Jaipur to Mumbai. Then Sonam Kapoor with whom director Rakeysh Mehra was doing solo shots in Abhishek’s absence, lost her grandfather (her mother’s father) and had to return to Mumbai too. However professionalism being a part of the duo’s heritage, Abhishek and Sonam have both flown back on Friday to Jaipur to resume shooting. Not that Rakeysh was sitting idle. He has a huge cast assembled in Jaipur. And that includes Rishi Kapoor, Tanvi Azmi, Divya Dutt and the amazing Waheeda Rehman whom Rakeysh coaxed out of retiremement. |

Dear Rakeyshji:
Greetings. An academic lawyer by profession, I was at Sambhar Lake (Rajasthan), my hometown, during most of the time the shooting of your movie, Delhi-6, took place at the Somaniji’s haveli, almost next door to my own residence and some other very closeby locations. It was quite a convivial time for the local populace. However, what has intrigued me most in most of the websites is that there is invariably no mention of Sambhar Lake (Rajasthan) at all–but irritatingly and repeatedly only of Jaipur–as being one of the major locations of the shooting. (Incidentally, Jaipur is not a synonym of Sambhar Lake–the latter was one time, according to some historians, the capital of India during the regime of Prithiviraj Chauhan. Even otherwise, Sambhar Lake has always been an important place because of its well-known salt industry.) I do hope that you would kindly consider rectifying such an anomaly in any credits for the movie’s shooting locations, when it is finally released, as was, very fairly, also done by the producers of Jodha Akbar. All the best. Kind regards. Sincerely, Krishna Mohan Sharma
