Chelsea surprise for Abhishek Bachchan

Indian movie star and ardent Chelsea Football Club fan, Abhishek Bachchan was at Stamford Bridge in London recently to watch his favourite team's Champions League semi-final match against Barcelona.

Though disappointed with the outcome of the match after the Blues were knocked out on away goals, the actor who has played a Chelsea fanatic in one of his films was in for a pleasant surprise. He was presented with the new Chelsea jersey by the club's CEO, Peter Kenyon, making him the world's first owner of the prestigious club's latest jersey.

Excited on receiving the first jersey, Bachchan told chelseafc.com, "My first trip to the Stamford Bridge was while filming Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, where I played a Chelsea fan. This is my seventh trip and I only flew into London for the game. I am a big fan and am trying to bring the world of Chelsea back home in India."
