David Beckham has been spotted with Sonam Kapoor and her husband Anand Ahuja after the Bollywood stars hosted a welcome party for the footballer.
Beckham,48, made a surprise appearance at the Cricket World Cup semifinal between India and New Zealand in Mumbai. After having spent several days in Gujurat as a Unicef ambassador, the former Manchester United star was invited to the game by the International Cricket Council (ICC), which has partnered with Unicef in a project to empower women and girls through cricket.
“What an incredible atmosphere… Thanks to @unicef and @sachintendulkar for making me so welcome at the Cricket World Cup… These fans have such amazing energy,” Beckham wrote in his latest Instagram post.
Actress Karisma Kapoor, who attended the private dinner, shared photos with Beckham on Instagram. In the photo side by side with the footballer, Karisma wrote: “Did it for the kids…Not really...” and described Beckham as “warm and gracious.”
Host Anand also posted a photo on his page featuring Beckham and a few other guests. The caption read: “Just another vision of how sport brings us together! ..it was tense for a minute but @indiancricketteam clamped down and pulled through!
“Thanks @arjunkapoor for making sure we had a big TV set up showing the match during dinner just so people could sneak in and out to catch a glimpse of India’s tremendous semi finals victor on the way to its fourth ODI World Cup Finals appearance!!”
Amidst the excitement, Arjun shared more snippets from the private party and said it was “a night to remember.”
