Watch: SRK’s full speech at the royal gala for Prince William and Kate Middleton
Amidst the media flurry, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton arrived in Mumbai on Sunday on their first visit to India. To welcome the royal couple, a gala was held at Taj Mahal Palace hotel in the evening. Attended by the who’s who of Bollywood and Industrial giants, the glittering red-carpet was indeed a star-studded affair.
While Prince William donned the classic tuxedo look, Kate wore a glittering blue gown by Jenny Packham. In the evening, the royalty was joined by Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit and much more. At the royal gala, SRK welcomed William-Kate by delivering a speech.
“Tonight in this room are present people from all walks of life. We have legendary sportspersons; we have the great Sachin Tendulkar. We have fantastic businessmen and businesswomen over here. We have Mr. Birla, the Punawalas here, and of course, we also have a set of talented artists from the entertainment world. The wonderful Madhuri Dixit, the greatest ever, Mr. Anil Kapoor and so many others. We are all here to extend our support to your ambition and all the charity you support your highness," Khan said in his speech.
He added, "I also heard your highness say ‘I don’t know if I have a favourite colour’, I just want to assure you that, your royal highness, even though your stay is extremely short in India, you’ll find more than one favourite colour from this country.”
SRK also expressed his gratitude towards the royal couple in his tweet post the royal dinner. The actor posted: "The Royal couple was so gracious & full of poise. Tonite, as I said, is the nite of the King the Queen & the Knights. Wish all nites were same."
