'Honoured' Mika Singh attends Donald Trump's pre-inaugural dinner in US

"It is a great honour for me to be attending the most prestigious dinner in Washington D.C. with the President(-elect) of the US."

Just a day before his swearing- in-ceremony as the US President, Donald Trump on Thursday hosted a “prestigious dinner” for dignitaries across the globe in Washington. Among the attendees, there was a known face from India as well. And, he was none other than Bollywood singer Mika Singh. He said he was honoured to attend a “prestigious dinner”.

Singh on Friday morning shared a two-minute long video on Twitter, where Trump was heard speaking, as he said: “In the audience there’s a special person, who’s worked very hard, who married very well it’s my daughter Ivanka…I sort of stole her husband. He is so great…I have a feeling Jared (Kushner) is going to do a great job.”

The Bollywood singer, who was seen sporting an all black ensemble, captioned the image: “It is a great honour for me to be attending the most prestigious dinner in Washington D.C. with the President(-elect) of the US.” Trump, who won the November 8 election despite losing the popular vote by 2.8 million — more than any winning candidate in history — will be sworn in as the US President on Friday, Mirror online reported.

Singh also shared a series of photographs from the pre-inaugural dinner on Thursday.

He took off in a military jet from New York’s LaGuardia Airport shortly before 11.30 a.m., leaving the city for the final time as a private citizen.

He landed at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, a short car journey away from the capital.

On Thursday night he attended a “Make America Great Again” concert at the Lincoln Memorial, where country singer Toby Keith and 3 Doors Down performed.
