Mangalore, Mar 25: People at Mangalore Airport were in for a big surprise on Sunday March 25, when Indian cricketer and heartthrob Irfan Pathan arrived by the 11.30 flight.

He was on his way to Kasargod to attend a programme later in the evening.

The visit was unknown and unexpected, and came as a pleasant surprise to the peolpe at the airport. As soon he walked out of the airport building, scores of people surrounded him.

Several people tried to take photographs with their phones, being unprepared for autographs and camera shots.

The all-rounder returned their affection with smiles. However, he did not speak to the media nor remained at the airport for long. He was whisked away by bodyguards into the car that was waiting for him.

The people who mobbed him hardly got to spend a few minutes with their star, but it was enough to make them remember the moment for a long time to come.

    The crowd which you see above is not from Mangalore. Most of them came from Kasaragod to receive him

    There is nothing unusual, if people mob their favourite cricket star. After all Irfan Pathan is a soft spoken and a lovable person, far better than some of the arrogant celebreties.

    See the car BMW with special number plate which came to receive him. Must be having contact with influential personality in Kasaragod. Irfan is a cricket star and people get excited to see cricket and film stars...He didnt visit Mangalore but used Mangalore as his transit point...So its not welcome to Mangalore but welcome to transit in Mangalore is more appropriate here..

    Though we still wait for International Airport Status (I think Moily still hopes for the same), at least every now and then we receive some International Personalities like Irfan and Yousuf quite often. Welcome Pathan Brothers to our most beloved Mangalore Airport
