New Delhi, Feb 3 (IANS) Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger failed to turn up at an event to present Abhishek Bachchan an award for helping create a greener environment, but has congratulated him for the honour.

He was also due to be present at the Green Globe Foundation Awards Ceremony to present Abhishek with the Green Globe for Outstanding Efforts by a Celebrity award, but he did not turn up.

According to a source, “Wizcraft people had met Arnold and everything was sorted, but don’t know why he didn’t turn up at the last moment.”
Abhishek said he is willing to work with Schwarzenegger for a greener future.
