She will be seen promoting her upcoming film "Mardaani 2". "This is the first time I will be watching a match at Eden Gardens. I have always heard from my parents that the atmosphere at Eden is electrifying. Its going to be quite an experience for me to watch a cricket match live.

Since she will be anyway in the city to promote Mardaani 2, this gave the team a huge opportunity to spread the message of the film to everyone who would be watching this much hyped match," said an informer.
