The Adivasi villagers of Gundala in Kumram Bheem Asifabad district were in for a pleasant surprise on Tuesday when bollywood actor Abhinav Shukla came calling on them. He was taken to the remote village by Ramagunda Commissioner of Police Vikram Jeet Duggal, who is a childhood friend of the actor.
The Commissioner of Police and the actor were given a traditional musical welcome and they even danced with the Adivasis. They later broke bread with the villagers.
The Gond aboriginal tribes were all praise for Mr. Duggal who was instrumental in laying a road between Ottla and Gundala. They urged him to help them get a road connecting Rompalli and Gundala.
