Former England football team captain David Beckham is
currently in India as UNICEF’s goodwill ambassador and he is likely to meet
members of the Indian film fraternity soon.
“David Beckham is in India for his UNICEF commitment
as a Global Ambassador and he will be meeting Sonam and Anand during his trip
to Mumbai. The power couple will be hosting David when he is in Mumbai and have
invited the crème de la crème icons of the city for a dinner at their
residence,” said the source said.
The source also revealed, “It is a very private
affair. We are hearing only 25 people have made the cut for this grand soiree.”
Beckham is expected to mark his presence during the
first semifinal of the ongoing World Cup between India and New Zealand at the
Wankhede Stadium.
Apart from this, the footballer paid a visit to
Gujarat to understand the state of the action and contribute towards advocating
for child rights and gender equality.
Sharing pictures from his visit, Beckham wrote, “An
incredibly special few days with Unicef here in Gujarat. It’s a great privilege
to see first-hand the work Unicef is doing on the ground to support children
and their families. The energy and innovation I have seen here has been so
inspiring and I loved hearing the children’s stories and their hopes and dreams
for the future. When we empower young people, we see the change they can bring
to their communities. @unicefindia.”
