The actor’s bag also got lost in transit and she had a ‘horrible time’ looking out for replacement costumes Preity Zinta, who is accompanying the Bachchans for their Unforgettable tour, says that the tour wasn’t without hiccups.

After Amitabh, Preity too lost her luggage on arrival in Los  Angeles just hours before she was to go on stage.“Can you imagine my plight on de-boarding from the flight? So it’s not just Amitji whose world-tour experiences come with a baggage,” Preity puns perkily.

“I had a ‘wail’ of a time when I lost my baggage. To my horror the lost suitcase contained my precious golden gown. There was no way I could go on stage without wearing that gown. So I decided to get a replacement garment,” said the actress.
Then began Preity’s hunt in the shopping areas of LA for a  designer who would stitch the lost gown. “I finally found this place run by a guy called Mike. At first he was horrified. He asked me, ‘How can I make a duplicate dress without a pattern, and that too in just hours?’ But you know me. I badgered, threatened, pleaded. It was done. I got my golden gown just in time,” said Preity.

“All my Indian clothes for the concerts have been done by Neeta Lulla and Ruchika Pandey. I even get into an Anarkali dress and do a full on Indian number. So much for my Western image, ha!” she signed off.
