NEW DELHI : Top Indian movie stars were heading to the capital to hoist the Olympic flame Thursday during the India leg of its worldwide relay.

Lining up alongside some top sports personalities and<b> corporate leaders were film stars Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Vivek Oberoi - all Bollywood heartthrobs of the movie-passionate nation.</b> <!--emo&:thumbdown--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Meanwhile the organisers are being criticised for favouring glamour over athletics in choosing the line-up of torch bearers. <b>"The organizers have trivialized the event in an ill-advised attempt to glamorize it,'' said Ajitpal Singh, captain of the Indian team that won the 1975 field hockey World Cup title. "The Olympic movement isn't dependent on movie stars or fashion models for glamour.'' </b>
