At a brief appearance before the media Wednesday at the Intercontinental Sahar here, Aguilera said: "I'm very glad to come to India. It is a beautiful country and I'm enjoying every bit of it." For Aguilera this is her first trip to India.

The pop diva declined to give interviews. However, she conceded a few minutes to eager photographers to shoot her pictures and take her video.

Dressed in tantalising pink, the diva was escorted by her own personal security guard as well as guards provided by the organizers.

After the media appearance, Aguilera headed to town to Big Bazaar for some shopping and left for Amby Valley in Pune in a private chopper. She is here on a special invitation by Percept and Sahara.

According to sources, the singer is here to get inspiration for her new album.
Unconfirmed reports say she might be planning to incorporate Indian music in her next album or even collaborate with some well known classical musicians of India at Amby Valley.
 
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Sahara may rope her in for a guest appearance or a dance number in one of its Bollywood films.   
 
Christina tried to keep her boy friend John Bartman away from media glare. He even tried to hide his face when photographers tried to shoot him while he escorted Christina to her room Wednesday.

Aguilera will be spending three days in Amby Valley.
