Talk show queen Winfrey dazzles festival audience - and promises to make a return to India.

Oprah, looking resplendent in a Sabyasachi Mukherjee-designed embroidered salwar-kameez, made one memorable statement.

When I first came to India, I was overwhelmed by the chaos, the traffic and people who never stopped for red lights, by men riding donkeys, women wearing helmets with saris and oxen-drawn carts laden with steel,' Oprah said, looking as bright and animated as ever.

'It made my head spin - I felt like I was part of a video game,' continued Oprah, and the statement got instantly tweeted.

'But I realised there's a method to the madness - there's a karmic calmness within the millions of people that keeps them moving along a path. Being in India has expanded my idea of humanity,' she said.

talk show diva left no one in doubt she was in love with India. And she promised to be back.

'You think you can understand India through its clichés, but you can't - you have to come back again,' said Oprah.

Death is contagious and no one wants to be reminded of this - across the world; but this has to change,' Oprah said, recounting her visit to an ashram of widows.

She also lived with a slum child, 11-year-old Anchal, and her five-member family in a Mumbai chawl.

'At the end of the stay, I wanted to bring her home with me,' Oprah said, and joked: 'My partner is always worried that he's going to find me at the airport with another girl child!'

Oprah has adopted two children. When she mentioned her partner, Dutt asked why she hadn't married Stedman Graham, her partner since 1986.

Oprah said: 'I am not the marrying kind. I know that in a country like India where women have arranged marriages that turn into love it may seem like a mystery as to why. But if we were married, by now we would be divorced."'

With this she broke into the laughter that has lit up television screens across the world.
