British rapper Naughty Boy said it was a pleasure to perform at Buckingham Palace in front of Prince Charles and Camilla to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the British Asian Trust.
Shahid Khan, most popularly known by his stage name Naughty Boy, performed with Baby Doll sensation Kanika Kapoor, who is also an ambassador of the trust. The duo kept the audience entertained with a mix of Sufi and popular English songs.
Taking to Twitter, Naughty Boy said it was his pleasure to perform in front of Prince Charles, who invited about 200 people to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Trust.
"It was a pleasure to perform last night in Buckingham palace at the 10 year anniversary of the @britishasiantst with @TheKanikakapoor Proud to be an ambassador," he wrote.
Kapoor echoed similar sentiments, saying she was honoured to be the first Indian to perform in the Palace.
“It was an honour to perform in the Buckingham Palace for the 10th Anniversary of British Asian Trust at a celebration hosted by Prince Charles last night. Also the fact that I am the first Indian to perform there was a special feeling altogether. I am looking forward to more such events in the near future,” she said, according to Filmfare.
Prince Charles founded the British Asian Trust in 2007. The Trust works towards reducing poverty in South Asia.
During the evening, Charles said he was touched by the impact the Trust is having in improving the lives of the underprivileged. Prince Charles told the guests: “The British Asian community has excelled in almost every area of life, whether it be academia, the arts, media, or of course business, and has made a profound and indispensable contribution to the United Kingdom for many decades.” He said the British Asian community was known for their generosity and deep desire to help those in need.
He continued: “The passion that my wife and I feel for the work of my British Asian Trust is driven by what we have seen for ourselves during our visits to South Asia when, as most recently in India last November, we have both been so deeply touched by the tremendously positive impact that the Trust is having on the ground.”
