It was delight to meet her in person, everything about her is truly graceful and elegant.” says Shiamak who also interacted with other invitees from the field of entertainment and business. “More than anything, it was the joy in my mother’s eyes, of her living her dream through me of meeting The Queen that gave me immense joy.”
