Bollywood DIPLOMACY
Express Features Service
New Delhi, December 8: Like so many people in his part of the
world, the outgoing Armenian ambassador Armen Baibourtian too is a
Bollywood fan. And so, at a recent farewell party held in his honour
at The Grand hotel, he informed us that he is taking back many filmi
memories. "Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan are my favourite stars,"
said the man who will be Deputy Foreign Minister in the Armenian
government. Baibourtian served a four-and-a-half-year term in India and
was happy to deliberate on the India-Armenia connection. "There are
Armenian communities in India, mostly in Chennai and Kolkata. And at
present there are around 650 Indian students in Yerevan State Medical
University in Armenia," he said. But if he had to choose between a doc,
Ash and SRK as Indian envoy to his country, wonder who he'd vote for?
