A stampede of 2.4 intensity on Richter's scale in Hyderabad at IMAX theatre was wasted on Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan who had arrived at the venue to promote his upcoming movie titled 'Veer'. As soon as the large Saturday crowd gathered at the theatre learned about the presence of Salman Khan at the press conference for the promotion of the film, they jostled and wrestled with each other to have glimpse of the actors skin and to gauge his body size.
"I desperately wanted to find out whether the color of Salman Khan's skin was the same shade of pink that we see on screen when he acts in movies or when he poses in photographs. So I rushed towards the venue of the press conference pushing and shoving aside hundreds of fans who appeared to be as desperate and determined as me to find out the real color of his skin. Unluckily for me, some assholes whose body mass was bigger than mine used their strong body weight and bulky flesh to their advantage to overpower me and got ahead of me. I fell down and suffered injuries on my head." said Keshav Rao, one of the participants in the stampede.
Lakshman Naidu, another participant in the stampede, wanted to check out Salman's body to determine his real body mass and height and compare it with his own body mass. "Watching Salman on screen or in photographs doesn't give you an accurate picture of his real body size which can be only determined by looking at him in flesh and blood. I had an opportunity of a lifetime, but unfortunately I wasn't quick enough. There was too much competition." said Naidu, an engineering student who suffered multiple injuries on his head, neck and back after he fell down when his legs got entangled with legs of another stampede participant's legs.
Naidu's head, neck and back were stomped on, trampled down and trod upon my boots, sandals and chappals of approximately 27 stampede participants.
This was one of the most wasted stampedes in the history of stampedes. While in the past, stampedes have been wasted on important gods and football matches, stampedes hit a new low at the IMAX theatre in Hyderabad by getting wasted on a man whose chief claim to fame is appearing topless in Hindi movies, hunting endangered black bucks, killing pavement dwellers by rash driving and doing domestic violence on Ex-Miss World, Aishwarya Rai.
