Hollywood met Bollywood in of all places, Africa. Hollywood stud Matt Damon met Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty at the Indian Premiere League Gala dinner in Cape Town, South Africa. Shilpa is part owner of the Rajasthan Royals (a team playing in the IPL) while Matt Damon was filming "The Human Factor" directed by Clint Eastwood. Opening ceremonies for the event began on April 17th with a parade. Other notables at the ceremony include Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta. South Africa will be hosting the games that will be played between a few Indian franchises.
