Actor Filmmaker Kamal Hassan was in Buckingham Palace
recently to attend the Indo-UK Cultural Exchange celebration 2017. Mr. Hassan’s
name was chosen by our Honorable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi to be a part
of this delegation that was organised by our Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley,
to celebrate Britain’s close ties with India.
Right outside the Buckingham Palace where a giant
peacock, the national bird of India, was projected to mark the celebration. The
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along-with The Duke of Edinburgh, The Earl of
Wessex, Princess Eugenie of York, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Prince
Michael of Kent were the other British Royal Family members who attended the
event.
Mr Hassan says, “The Queen seemed in good
health and remembered her visit to India fondly. The Duke of Edinburgh was in
great shape and health as well. The exchange was brief as there were too many
people. You might remember during Her Majesty’s visit to India, she visited my
film set. Probably the only film shooting she had attended in her whole life”,
He further went on to say, “This is a great
occasion to celebrate the shared history of India and the UK. The English
language is the best example of that and I often refer to it as a great Indian
language that unites us all".
He also shared a few pictures of this meeting with
The Queen. Hassan also thanked the Prime Minister for nominating him for the
culture event.
