Aishwarya is Dubai's traffic stopper

Dubai: A surge of admirers who came to watch actor Aishwarya Rai shoot a commercial in Dubai caused massive jams on city roads, local media reported.

The news of Rai spotted on a street spread like wildfire and hundreds of fans thronged the scene.

Motorists were forced to wait for a long time as the roads were closed at regular intervals resulting in chaos and traffic congestion.

Traffic jam was also seen on the Shaikh Zayed Road from Dubai to Jebel Ali owing to motorists slowing down to catch a glimpse of the former Miss World, the Khaleej Times reported.
