Actors Alia Bhatt, Jacqueline Fernandez and Varun Dhawan perform during the opening ceremony of the ISL Indira Gandhi Athletics Stadium in Guwahati on Saturday. The chants of "NorthEast, NorthEast" from a soccer-crazy home crowd at the Indira Gandhi Athletics Stadium here echoed in unison. Half an hour later, it was NorthEast United FC owner, John Abraham's turn to do the same. "We are United by one sport...we promise you a spectacular season of football Guwahati," the actor said to thunderous applause. Namaskar Guwahati, kene ase, I love coming to Guwahati for its enthusiastic crowd and Northeast for its passion for football.
