As news of Priyanka's arrival trickled in, her fans were seen scurrying around even in the high-security zones of this city. 

"I have been here since the morning to see Priyanka," said an ardent fan Mohammad Amin. 

He footslogged it around the world-famous Dal Lake, visiting all the Mughal Gardens at Nishat, Shalimar and Harwan and the Botanical Gardens, but all in vain. 

"I have not seen her yet," a disenchanted Amin said. 

Other fans skipped meals and roamed around in the hope of meeting the Bollywood beauty, who was in the city as brand ambassador of Swiss luxury watchmakers Tag Heuer. 

Some youths shouted: "We heard she is staying in Grand Palace Hotel, but the guards are not allowing us inside." 

The sporty ones had another grouse, unable to get impromptu bowling or batting tips from cricketing legend Kapil Dev. 

Kapil was among 86 golfers, mostly from outside the state, who was seen in action for nearly three hours at the one-day Tag Heuer-Kingfisher Precision Golf Tournament, held for the third year running. 

The tourney was inaugurated by Tourism Minister Mohammed Dilawar Mir at the Royal Springs Golf Course in the foothills of Zabarwan range
