It was a unique sight at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, when Abhinav Bindra the first ever Indian Olympian gold medallist in any individual event, landed at 12:45 am amid a huge celebration and chant of jab tak Suraj chand rahega Bindra tera naam rahega. Wearing a white jersey with INDIA written on it he proudly displayed the gold medal and wished every one Happy Independence Day. "I feel honoured that I have won the first gold medal for my country in the Olympics," Bindra. Officials from Indian Olympic Association and National Rifle Association of India were also present to greet the Olympian.The international travellers were mesmerised by the Indians' fervour to greet their winner. "I have never seen such a celebration. Frankly, I have not heard about Bindra but now I know he is the new superhero," said Isabella who was there to board a flight to the US.
