All smiles: Popular actor Ileana lighting the lamp to mark the inauguration of new-look showroom of Khazana Jewellery in Visakhapatnam on Saturday. Khazana Managing Director Kishore Jain is seen

VISAKHAPATNAM: Fans mobbed popular Tollywood star Ileana when she attended a brief ceremony to inaugurate the new-look showroom of Khazana Jewellery in the city on Saturday.

Following publicity blitzkrieg, several fans of Illeana, who became popular after success of Devadas, Pokiri and Aata in which she played the lead role, thronged the showroom to have a glimpse of her.

Braving the inclement weather, some of the fans also sought autographs. Police as well as the private security engaged by Khazana escorted her to the showroom.

At the time of inauguration, there was jostling among the fans, some photographers and television crew and customers. Later she was provided a security ring to get into her car.

Sporting a maroon embroidered sari, the dazzling actor hailing from Goa was accompanied by her mother left after going round the sales counters.

Khazana Jewellery Managing Director Kishore Jain told reporters later that they had added one more floor to the existing showroom to cater to the needs of the customers in a better way.

He said they were expecting a turnover of Rs.1,000 crores this year. Showrooms would come up at Guntur and Rajahmundry in the State, six in Tamil Nadu and 14 elsewhere during the current year.

Mr. Jain said they were expecting to register a turnover of Rs.2,000 crores next year with plans to open 50 showrooms.
