There was another party, followed by the Vanity Fair party. All the kids had gone but I stayed back. I met creator and director of Toy Story John Lasseter and the magician of the reality show Man on Wire Philippe Petit.
I spoke to Gerard Butler for about an hour discussing Slumdog Millionaire and his other movies and especially his movie 300,which I loved. I am in awe of that actor. I spoke to his agent, who promised to help me.
I did not get to meet Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Johnny Depp, who did not come at all. I reached the hotel at 4:30 am in Freida's car with Dev.
The next day we went to Disneyland. It was brilliant but not as good as Universal Studios.
The day after that, we went to Santa Monica Beach. Danny joined us there. I guess it was his way of saying goodbye to us. Later, I shopped for shoes and electronic gadgets. Producer Christian Colson came to see us off at the airport.
When we reached India, armed policemen formed a barricade around us and took us out. There were so many people from the media. I was really happy because it was my country welcoming me home.
