In his crisp welcome address to Prince William and Kate Middleton, Shah Rukh Khan extolled the virtues of motherland India.
Bollywood rolled out the perfect red carpet to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, and leading the contingent was their best man, King Khan SRK.
Arriving bang on time, SRK looked dapper in a white tuxedo and was the cynosure of all eyes along with the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. In his crisp welcome address, SRK extolled the virtues of motherland India and described it as one of the warmest and most colourful nations that the Royals will ever visit in their lives.
“All of us present here have had long standing relationship with Great Britain and of course over the years it might have become closer. My kids are studying there and I have been hearing a lot more about the Royal Highness and the work that they have been doing. I just got to hear and read an interesting stuff that his Royal Highness said and that is, ‘It is quite ambitious wanting to help people’ and I just want to add that we all in this room are here to extend our support to your ambitions and all the challenges you support. I have also read her Royal Highness say, ‘I don’t know if I have a favourite colour.’ I just want to assure you maam, Your Royal Highness even though your stay is extremely short here in India, you will go back finding more than one favourite coloúr from this country. India is the most colourful and the warmest of the nations that you will ever visit in your lives. On behalf of all those present, I wish you a very warm welcome to India,”said Shah Rukh Khan.
SRK also joked that he couldn’t dance at the event as the British consulate had warned of denying him a British visa for 10 years if he broke into a jig.
