At the welcome party for the James Bond actress Ursula Andress, it was actor Kabir edi who charmed the ladies by his presence. He didn`t have to strive for their attention! They flocked to him like bees to a flower. And as soon as Andress made her entry, the first person she hugged and kissed was Kabir even as the photographers captured the moment through their lens. Andress then chatted up with old pal Yash Chopra. Ursula Andress arrived late, "That`s my trademark you see," she laughed and described how she related to this country from her heart.

"But I hate the traffic," she said. "There are cows on the road and that reminds me of my home in the Alps," she smiled. Besides Ursula and Bedi, the one to grab attention was director Ashutosh Gowariker. Females gheraoed him asking him questions about Lagaan and the Oscars. "What are you going to wear to the occasion?" they asked. Ashutosh Gowariker is likely to don the traditional kurta-pyjama with elaborately done up overcoat. "Everybody should know I`m from India, right?" Sure, Ashutosh!
