Watch: Vin Diesel bids adieu to India amid shouts of 'Aye takle!'

The video is slammed as a classic example of real Indian hospitality towards international guests.

When action star Vin Diesel landed in Mumbai to promote his new movie "xXx: Return of Zander Cage", women dressed in red saris and yellow turbans gave him a traditional Indian welcome.
He was accompanied by Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, who is making her Hollywood debut in the film which began its international rollout this week.
Dozens of women applied red vermilion dots - regarded as an auspicious symbol in India - to the foreheads of Diesel, Padukone and director DJ Caruso.
However while Vin Diesel was bidding farewell to India with much fanfare amid shouts of "Diesel! Diesel! Diesel!", there were some who called out 'Aye takle!' (Hey baldie!) as he walked into the Mumbai international airport.
A video that captures the moment is drawing flak and laughs across social media, with some condemning the crowd for abusing one of the world's highest paid actors. The clip is slammed as a classic example of real Indian hospitality towards international guests.
Watch the video till the end. 

Twitterati was quick to come up with jibes after the video surfaced online.

While promoting the movie in India, Diesel said he is willing to cross over to the Indian film industry with a project that stars Deepika Padukone.
Diesel got a better understanding about the world of Bollywood after working with Deepika.
"Just that the people who make these movies want to make magic like everybody else. I am not the type of person who finds differences in things; I like to find similarities in things," hollywoodreporter.com quoted Diesel as saying.

When asked if given the chance, what kind of a role he would like to do in Bollywood, he said: "I'd do anything with Deepika Padukone in it!" 
The film sees Diesel's return to the Zander Cage film franchise after starring in the first movie in 2002 but missing the sequel in 2005.
Although thought to be long-dead, the athlete turned government operative in "xXx: Return of Zander Cage" comes out of exile and races to recover a sinister weapon.
The movie is scheduled to release in American theatres on January 20.
