Princess Victoria invites Aamir Khan for dinner!
Princess Victoria invites Aamir Khan for dinner!
So much is happening around Aamir Khan these days. The stupendous (=surprisingly large or impressive, magnificent) success of his critically-acclaimed film Taare Zameen Par has made him popular all the more (=even more than before). Now, Princess Victoria of Sweden has invited him for a dinner with her.
It is said that the 31-year-old princess is aware of Aamir's works and very appreciative of his latest film Taare Zameen Par, India"s official entry to the Oscars this year. She along with the Swedish ambassador will meet Aamir on Tuesday. It is said that she would call on him during her visit to Mumbai and congratulate him on his second entry to the Oscars. Aamir is all set (=ready) to meet the princess. He said that it's a privilege (=a special advantage that is given only to one person or group of people) to receive such special invitation.
Princess Victoria, the eldest daughter of Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf, is on a 10-day state visit to India for The Sweden India Nobel Memorial Week 2008 celebrations.
Questions:
1: Is So much is happening around Aamir Khan these days a sentence? I don't think it's a complete sentence. If it were it would be something like: So much is happening around Aamir Khan these days that he rarely finds time for interviews. Am I correct?
2: What does call on mean in the above context? Does it mean the princess will phone him?
