Indian actor Sonam Kapoor took centre stage at the Coronation Concert on Sunday as she introduced various choir performers of the Commonwealth. Sonam`s piece served as a prelude to the inspiring virtual choir performances by the Commonwealth, made up of choirs, solo artists and duos from the 56 Commonwealth countries. Sonam also introduced Steve Winwood, who performed a modern version of his iconic song `Higher Love` accompanied by a 70-piece orchestra.
Sonam began her speech with the traditional namaste. She emphasized the diversity of the Commonwealth during her spoken word performance. Sonam was introduced as one of the biggest stars of Indian cinema.
Sonam`s mother Sunita Kapoor took to her Instagram feed to share a video of her giving the speech at the concert in front of the royal family. She wrote in the caption, “So proud! Such an honour!” Reacting to the post, Sonam replied `love you` with heart emojis.
