Legendary footballer David Beckham is going back from India with a heart full of love and Indian delicacies. Beckham, who was in India as a UNICEF ambassador, had a great time as he enjoyed the gripping semi-final World Cup match between India and New Zealand at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Later, he attended a grand welcome party hosted by Sonam Kapoor and her husband, Anand Ahuja, at their Mumbai residence. David also got a warm welcome from Shah Rukh Khan at his home in Mannat, Mumbai.

On Friday, Beckham penned a thank you note for Sonam, Anand, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan for the heartful welcome.

Sharing a picture with Shah Rukh, Beckham wrote,''Honoured to have been welcomed into this great man’s home. To enjoy a meal with @iamsrk, @gaurikhan, their beautiful children and close friends – what a special way to end my first visit to India... Thank you my friend – you and your family are welcome any time in my home…''

The second picture showed David posing with Sonam and Anand at their home. He wrote further, ''@sonamkapoor and @anandahuja - you hosted me with such warmth and kindness this week, thank you for the amazing evening you created at your home - see you again soon ❤️🇮🇳.''

Soon after the post was shared, Sonam commented, ''You’re extremely gracious and a thorough gentleman. ❤️.''

Have always been a big admirer but meeting him and seeing how he is with kids made me realise that the only thing that out does his football is his kindness and his gentle nature. My love to your family. Be well and happy my friend and get some sleep….@Davidbeckham.''
