Her parents were busy, so a 12-yr-old Delhi girl flew alone to see Bieber

According to her relatives, Akshita Rajpal is a trained dancer who only dances to Bieber's music

This is one die-hard fan even popstar Justin Bieber would be proud of.
A 12-year old New Delhi schoolgirl, Akshita Rajpal, who's an obsessive fan of the singing legend, flew down here on Tuesday alone to mark her presence at her idol's maiden live concert in India - at Navi Mumbai on Wednesday.
Akshita is a Class 8 student of Amity International School in the national capital and has virtually spent sleepless nights ever since the Bieber concert was finalised last month, revealed a family member.
Her parents had bought three Platinum tickets for entry to the D Y Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, but had to cancel their travel plans at the last minute on Tuesday.
Not disheartened, Akshita flew down alone and handed over the two extra tickets to a couple of family friends to attend the biggest musical event of 2017 in the city.
A child model, she has created a booklet on the life, lyrics and everything she loves about the 23-year old Bieber, her uncle Sumit Kaushik said.
"In fact, she is a trained professional dancer who dances only to Bieber tunes and has excelled in academics and extracurricular like music, martial arts, modeling and acting, besides of course, being a fulltime crazy fan of Bieber and his music," Kaushik told IANS.
Having played a small role in the recent romantic ghost comedy, "Phillauri", starring Anoushka Sharma and Diljit Dosanjh, Akshita has also modelled for brands like SBI General Insurance, Kodak, Birla SunLife, Fortis, etc, said Kaushik. Read more

2016 starts with a bang for Mumbai


It may not be odd or even but Mumbai has started the New Year with a bang, in its own style. According to state government officials, at least four major infrastructure projects have been cleared and are about to take off.
Among the projects to have received what officials are calling "final clearance" is the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), a project that was conceived over two decades ago. The MTHL will be a six lane bridge - 16 kilometres in the sea and 6 kilometres on land - and is expected to cost over Rs 17,000 crore. (WAR ROOM PROJECTS)
Planners say the project will benefit over 20 million residents of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai by providing a direct link between interline and mainline. It will help those commuting between South Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. It will also help divert traffic from South Mumbai to the new airport at Navi Mumbai, reducing congestion at the arterial roads.
