British actor Orlando Bloom has been allowed entry into India after being turned away a day earlier from Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi because he lacked a valid visa.
The Lord of the Rings star was able to enter the following day after the External Affairs ministry intervened and gave him a special visa.
Bloom was invited by the top elected official of Uttar Pradesh state to promote tourism. He applied for an e-visa and arrived Saturday without realizing there was a problem with his application.
Bloom, 38, was forced to return to London, but arrived in India the next day, and was seen posing at the Taj Mahal.
An External Affairs ministry spokesman said Bloom must have landed without the confirmation e-mail, or forgotten to check whether the visa was granted.
Bloom is best known for his roles in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. He also starred in Hollywood blockbuster films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Troy, and Kingdom of Heaven.
