Guns N' Roses Fan Bumps Into Slash At Mumbai's Leopold Café: ‘Felt Like A Dream'
Legendary rock band Guns N' Roses will be performing in Mumbai tomorrow, on May 17.
The legendary rock band Guns N' Roses has returned to India after 12 years, and will be performing in Mumbai tomorrow, on 17 th May, 2025, as part of their Asia tour. They are all set to mesmerize their fans with their concert at Mahalaxmi Race Course, and have arrived in the city already. Ahead of the concert, a Guns N' Roses fan's dream came true when he bumped into the band's lead guitarist Slash in Mumbai. The fan, who had travelled especially for the concert from Assam, shared what it was like to meet Slash in person.
The 29-year-old fan, Zeet Bora, arrived from Assam to Mumbai on the morning of May 15, two days before the concert. He headed to Leopold Cafe in Mumbai for lunch, and much to his surprise, Slash was sitting at the table next to him! While speaking with Mid-Day, the fan said, 'We actually landed in Mumbai this morning just for this concert. It was so random—I was having lunch with my friend at a café when Slash and his band members walked in. They sat at the table next to ours." Zeet, who was accompanied by his friend, did not want to disturb Slash as he was having a private time.
'So, we waited till he got done and was about to leave. That's when we approached him for a picture and had a chat," he said. He further shared that the guitarist was very friendly. 'We waited for an hour to take a photo with him. He was so friendly, and I told him it felt like a dream to meet him in person." Zeet also shared the picture on Instagram and wrote, 'Bumped into the legend @slash!" Check it out below!

AAP leader Raghav Chadha shares video on day in the life of a Member of Parliament: ‘Day starts at 6 and ends at…'
Raghav Chadha, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP, recently gave his followers a peek into what a normal working day looks like for him when Parliament is in session. In an Instagram reel titled 'A Day in the Life of a Member of Parliament,' he walked viewers through his schedule, which, he said, kicks off as early as 6 am. 'As a member of parliament, when the Parliament is in session, the day is full of action and activity,' he says as the video begins. The video shows him starting the morning with a steaming cup of tea and a deep dive into the day's news. Chadha says he reads seven to eight newspapers daily, from English publications like Hindustan Times, The Times of India, The Indian Express, and The Hindu to Hindi dailies including Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran, Punjab Kesari and Hindustan. Parliament proceedings, he explained, start at 11 am with Zero Hour, where MPs get 'three uninterrupted minutes to speak' if their topic is chosen. That's followed by Question Hour from 12 to 1 pm, when ministers respond to selected questions from members. A lunch break runs from 1 to 2 pm. Post-lunch, Chadha says, 'the legislative business of the government begins,' which means bills are tabled and subjected to 'detailed discussion, dialogue and debate.' The final hour of the day is dedicated to Special Mentions, issues of urgent public importance that MPs submit in writing to be read out in the House. In the caption, he wrote: 'Our day begins before the Parliament does. A cup of chai, a stack of newspapers, and preparation for the debates ahead.' A post shared by Raghav Chadha (@raghavchadha88) The reel, which has crossed four million views, has drawn praise for its rare, behind-the-scenes look. One viewer commented, 'Always wanted to know this… thanks for such informative video.' Another wrote, 'We need our MPs to share useful knowledge like this to everyone! Very nice. Thanks!' Someone else remarked more critically, 'I guess… more than half of the MPs probably don't even know what their job is or what the purpose of attending a session is.'
