PICS : Vin Diesel welcomed in India with 'desi' fanfare

Dhol, 'tutari' and 'tilak' made up for a rousing reception for Hollywood star Vin Diesel, who is here to promote his forthcoming release "xXx: Return of the Xander Cage". The American actor was accompanied by co-star and Indian actress Deepika Padukone and Director DJ Caruso. They arrived to the typical desi fanfare of women dressed in red saris and yellow turbans. Diesel looked excited as he waved out to the media and to the crowd there with much gusto. Dressed in white jeans, a black t-shirt and a pair of shades, he walked out of the airport here hand-in-hand with Deepika, who sported an all-black look complete with black stilettos.
