After Lady Gaga and Oprah, it's Arnold's turn

It seems that India is the latest spotlight for Hollywood biggies with many of them making trips to the country in quick succession.

After heartthrob Tom Cruise and fashion icon Lady Gaga left quite a lot of eye balls rolling, it was time for the great 'Oprah trip'. And not long before the craze of Oprah had faded that it's another one from Hollywood who caused quite a lot of stir in the country.

Australian-American actor cum politician Arnold Schwarzenegger is on his first trip to India for a special purpose and without a slight doubt, has enough to make the country go gaga over him.

The 64-year old hunk was guest at the 12th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit on Thursday to participate in a green cause of spreading awareness about clean and green energy. The event was hosted by TERI -The Energy and Research Institute.

The former Governor of California said that fitness was his crusade since early days of his life and green is his crusade now, adding that he wanted to inspire people for sustainable living in the same way he did for fitness.

Austrian Oak, as he is popularly known as, has been a name synonymous to fitness and bodybuilding and is considered to be the pioneer when it comes to the two.

He began to weight train at the age of 15 and at the age of 20 he was awarded the title of Mr. Universe. He later went on to win the Mr. Olympia contest seven times.

The charismatic 'Arnie' also said that he considered Mahatama Gandhi's struggle for independence as one of the most powerful movements in history, saying that most powerful movements in history, like that of fight against apartheid, American civil war and fight of Indian independence started at grass root level by a single person, like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther adding that they did not wait for higher authorities to give them go ahead to do something like this.

Like all those from Hollywood who visited India, he too 'always wanted to come to this land of culture and tradition keeping with the mood of the event praised the country for 'renewable accounts for 11 percent of total energy mix in the country.'

He also presented Abhishek Bachchan a Green Globe award for outstanding contribution to the environmental causes by a celebrity.

He later wrote on his twitter account, "Congrats on the Green Globe, @juniorbachchan. More celebrities should be pumping up green progress. I´ll be back, & we should get together."

The heartthrob of millions is believed to love Indian food, acclaimed worldwide for its rich flavors and spices. He gorged on naans and other delicacies in the capital.

His twitter post read (along with a photo of him with a big piece of naan), "I loved the food. I´ve loved my first trip to India. Here I am with the biggest piece of naan in Delhi".

He also wrote, "Thank you all, especially @andyz136 for the recommendation to eat at Bhukara. It was fantastic!".

However, his trip was a little let down when he reportedly found the greatest attraction of India - Taj Mahal closed. However, he satisfied himself with some pictures from roadside using his cell phone.

We had just say - Better luck next time Arnie!
