Ali Fazal meets Samuel L Jackson and Britney Spears; shares his experience with them

Mumbai: Ali Fazal is currently in LA working on the prep for his next Hollywood unannounced venture and alongside he is also been attending an array of work meetings. The actor will soon head back to India where he begins shoot for Tigmanshu Dhulia’s ‘Milan Talkies’.

Ali, who worked in ‘Victoria And Abdul’ with Judi Dench last year, recently attended the annual Hollywood Beauty Awards, an annual forum where the best in talent of the hair, beauty and design talent is awarded. There, Ali was also elected as an award presenter.

At the ceremony Ali was elated to have met, his icons like Britney Spears and Samuel L Jackson. In fact Samuel L Jackson also reportedly praised Ali for his role in ‘Victoria And Abdul’.

Speaking about his experience, Ali said, “It was surreal. We were all on the same tables, dining at the award show. I mean, fact is, Britney has been an icon during the largest part of my childhood. She was up there breaking records with her hit singles. I bet all my friends know lyrics to at least two of her songs. Like it or not. It’s like the era of backstreet boys. She was receiving the fragrance beauty award for her latest perfume line and so I guess I went to get a whiff of that and congratulate her. Samuel L Jackson and I share the same team, and so this meeting was pending for a while. What can I say, am just a huge fan! And he loved my performance from my film ‘Victoria And Abdul’. So that was one of the best compliments I have received in my life. Some things are just best experienced I guess. I told him I hope I meet him on a set next time, when we are working together. So I’ll leave it at that for now.”

Ali presented the 2018 new beauty awards to two new comers, namely Kirstin Maldonado and Olivia Holt, and the finale, award for Timeless beauty to Jane Seymour aka Bond girl.
