Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor got a welcome befitting rock royalty by students of University Of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD), but his fleeting appearance did not impress everyone on the campus.

Ranbir`s ``blink-and-miss`` appearance leaves Dubai students disappointed

Kapoor, 29, could visit the campus for little more than five minutes only, while the students were expecting it to be an hour-long interaction. His promotional activities included jamming to ``Sadda Haq`` - the popular anthem from his latest film ``Rockstar`` for a few seconds with a student musician and mouthing, "I love you" to students.

"We are very disappointed because we had this entire programme including a performance from a student band, question and answer session with the star and a contest planned. But he just came and left. Students just waited for hours and hours for this," Gulf News quoted marketing manager of UOWD, Naheed Malek as saying.

Apparently, Kapoor``s ``blink-and-miss-`` appearance was triggered when he saw the sea of frenzied students and panicked. "The reason they told was that Ranbir [Kapoor] was very upset because the crowd was going crazy. But it``s a school campus, so it``s expected," Malik added.

Anirudh Patni, who is the drummer for the university band ``Bolly Beats``, was equally disappointed. "We had prepared for three weeks so that we could perform in front of Ranbir. But he just came and left. I came all the way from the Abu Dhabi campus, what a waste of time," Patni was quoted as saying. However, his female fans were far more forgiving. "I love Ranbir and I am his biggest fan," a student Rakshita Krishna said. "He made us wait for more than two hours and just disappeared so quickly. But I still think he``s cute," Renuka Amarnani said.
