Oprah’s Next Chapter, in India, with the Big B

Oprah Winfrey is in India to film a segment of her new show, “The Next Chapter,” staying at The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in south Mumbai.  She is virtually unkown in India since  her erstwhile show did not air in India.

Wearing an orange sari, Winfrey, visited the home of the Bachchan family, to meet aging megastar Amitabh and his daughter-in-law, former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her husband Abhishek. The senior actor drove the group himself in his Rolls Royce to a party hosted by Ms. Paramsewhar Godrej and featuring the Bollywood gliterrati. Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Anil Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Imran Khan, Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi and Farhan Akhtar were there mostly to meet one another since they have little to do with Oprah.

Winfrey was seen later, shopping in Mumbai on Martin LutherKing Day.

What this means

Precious little to India or to business with India.  In the USA, I guess  it means that everyone is making a beeline for India, whether relevant or not.
