The city's most popular Dahi Handi, Sankalp 2012, organised by Sachin and Sangeeta Ahir at the Jambori Maidan in Worli, Mumbai, on Friday was attended by Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Emraan Hashmi, Esha Deol-Takhtani and many other stars. Hrithik drove straight to the venue after a gruelling shoot on the other side of town, for his father, Rakesh Roshan's Krissh 3. He was keen to climb up and break the handi atop the human pyramid, but his mere presence had made the crowds go wild, so Sachin Ahir requested him not to do so, as he would not be able to control the frenzied crowds. Needless to add, Hrithik was the biggest draw amongst the crowds at the maidan and he danced and sang and interacted with the fans just as warmly. Akshay too did his bit and Esha performed a Krishna dance recital, her first, after her wedding to Bharat Takhtani in June this year. Esha came back to the city from a month-long honeymoon in the first week of August and she looked as radiant as she was on her wedding day.
