As an ode to his friendship with Dame Judi Dench off screen, Ali had the sweetest gesture for his co-star. Ali packed and sent across the most delectable Alphonso mangoes for Judi and got it delivered to her residence in London. Now that's truly a way to keep ones friendship and a cute gesture from the actor!
`Queen Victoria never tasted a mango from India. It used to go off by the time it would arrive in England. So I sent a few to My Queen - Judi. She loved them. Thanks to the timely help of my dear friend, Jagdish Rajpurohit , who sent them from his own farm. Fresh and homegrown. I guess Judi likes mangoes. I personally love mangoes. I think it is rightfully the queen of all fruit. My grandfather and i used to wait for the season. And he taught me how to pick the mangoes`, said Ali.
What a sweet gesture!
