After an embarrassing commotion, Orlando was in Agra with Amar Singh and Sheetal Talwar...

On Friday, we witnessed an embarrassing commotion over British superstar Orlando Bloom’s visa when he had to fly back to London because of visa ssues. Well, all is well now as the British superstar flew back to Delhi and proceeded to the Taj Mahal on Sunday morning with politician Amar Singh and producer Sheetal Talwar.

Orlando, says Talwar, was overwhelmed by the experience. No, not of being deported from Delhi but of seeing the Taj Mahal.

Says Talwar, “The only purpose of Orlando’s visit was to see the Taj Mahal. He flew to Delhi on late Thursday night as the Uttar Pradesh government’s guest and had to fly back the same night in spite of being very unwell.”

A doctor was called on the Delhi airport to check Orlando’s infected stomach. The doctor recommended that the actor be hospitalized. The airport authorities apparently offered to delay the next flight to London until Orlando got onto it. The actor finally left with his bad stomach the same night.

Apparently on Saturday morning the Minister Of External Affairs of India Sushma Swaraj intervened.

Says Talwar, “She got the Indian embassy in London specially opened on Saturday morning, had Orlando’s visa cleared and he was back in Delhi on Saturday night.”

On Sunday, Orlando was in Agra with Amar Singh and Sheetal Talwar.

Says Talwar, “The minute Orlando lay his eyes on the Taj Mahal all visa and stomach ailments were forgotten. He just stood there gazing and finally sat there meditating for half an hour as crowd of tourists began to recognize him.”

When asked if he is unhappy about his deportation Talwar says, “Orlando isn’t overjoyed with what happened. We should’ve been more welcoming and not turned him back because of the visa issue.”
