Indian cinema's biggest female movie star met a great success in Paris and was very excited to watch the 1/4 final game between Roger Federer (Switzerland) and Tommy Roberdo (Spain). She also had the opportunity to meet the Indian Tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi just before he took off to the tennis court for his 1/4 final double game. He showed Mrs Rai-Bachchan how to serve at the Longines GrandeVitesse corner.
