Mumbai, July 18 - Two foreign women waved and shrieked with delight upon seeing Hillary Clinton across a road here Saturday, prompting the US Secretary of State to walk up to them, before she was whisked away by security!

The incident took place when Clinton stepped out of Hansiba Creations, the marketing headquarters of the women's NGO SEWA, on Napean Sea Road. The women spotted Clinton from the opposite side of the road where they were standing.

They two started waving frenziedly and calling out Clinton's name, making her look in their direction. Apparently she recognised them, as she crossed the road and briefly spoke with them.

The women later told the media they had studied with Clinton in college in the US. 'We are absolutely thrilled and delighted we could meet her,' one of them said.

However, the surprise meeting didn't last long as Clinton's security people whisked her away. She is visiting India for the first time after assuming office.
