When Salman and Ayat were exiting the event, paps went berserk to capture the Sikandar actor. Ayat looked visibly confused and scared by all the commotion and that is when her doting uncle stepped in to her rescue. "Chalo chalo peeche... Dus kadam door. Bacchi saath mein hai. Aage badho (Move ahead, a kid is with me)”, he was seen sternly telling the paps while holding Ayat tightly. For the event, Salman wore an olive T-shirt and trousers. Ayat was seen in a white dress.
