Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the capital’s Mirpur was light up by a thaousand lights. In such a setting the opening ceremony of Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League (BBPL) took place on December 8th. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the BBPL.
Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif won the hearts of thousands of spectators during the opening ceremony. After coming on stage, Salman Khan said, ‘As-salamu alaykum Bangladesh, As-salamu alaykum Dhaka.’ Then he joked that there are so many people in the stadium. How many people are watching this programme on television then? And what is the population of this city?
The first thing Katrina said with a microphone in her hand was 'Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu.' After that, Salman Khan took the opportunity to tease her. He said from the side, ‘She speaks Bengali better than Hindi.’ Both then praised the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina.
Salman Khan said, ‘We really love Sheikh Hasina. She is has been elected Prime Minister of Bangladesh three times. Not only is she Hasina by name, she is Hasina (beautiful) in all aspects. Her heart, her behaviour and her appearance are all beautiful. We are mesmerized by her beautiful smile, beautiful eyes, and even her voice.
At this time, Sheikh Hasina smiled shyly. In Salman Khan's latest tweet he wrote about Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after returning to India. He added a picture with the post as well with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the middle, Salman Khan on one side and Katrina Kaif on the other.
He wrote, ‘Katrina and I, with the Hon. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. It was a pleasure and honour to have met such a beautiful lady.’
