ameesha patel stopped at mumbai airport

The latest B-town beauty to be stopped at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport is Ameesha Patel. She was returning from a recent visit to UK with her business partner, Kunal Goomer. All their bags were thoroughly checked by the custom officials at the Mumbai airport. The authorities acted on the behest of a tip-off that she was carrying jewellery and electronic goods. However, the airport officials didn’t find any susceptible items during their checking. When the leading lady-turned-producer was asked about the incident, she said, “When my bags were checked, they didn’t find anything. (I) Paid a small duty for my bags and now we are heading out of the airport.” In the past, Bollywood babes who were detained at the Mumbai airport by the custom officials areBipasha Basu, Minissha Lamba and Anushka Sharma

The pace of creativity is far from uniform across Europe. Some areas have developed a reputation for producing and developing exciting business ideas.

In cases such as London and bioscience the reasons are easy to understand. The UK capital stands at one corner of a triangle, with Oxford and Cambridge as the other two points, in which the sciences have long attracted some of the best funding and minds in the world. Other cases are less obvious, though, such as the expertise in aerospace engineering in the Czech Republic. During the Soviet years training was excellent, and the current expertise is a direct descendant of that era.
