Borivali girl wins Radio City’s Meet & Greet Enrique contest
MUMBAI: He came, he performed, she conquered! Spanish heartthrob Enrique Iglesias performed in Mumbai last week and won over thousands of fans. But the lucky one who got to meet the Latino hunk, by winning Radio City’s Meet & Greet Enrique contest, was 17 year old Asavari Madhukar from Bhau Saheb Vartak college.
While describing her experience with Enrique, an elated Madhukar said, “I was one of the lucky person to meet Enrique prior to the show. I met him at around 8 pm and was very ecstatic. I could not wait to see him and when he finally came around I was completely bowled over. From the minute I came to know that I was meeting Enrique to the point wherein I actually met him, I kept imagining about the actual ‘date’.”
Madhukar was totally in awe of the singer’s good looks and his extremely sexy voice.
While she was too stunned to say anything to the pop star in the beginning, she did manage to shake hands with him and tell him a bit about herself. “He asked me my name, what I was doing and my age. I was so excited that I could not speak for some time but then I somehow answered him. I will never forget it. I feel like a queen and even more, my friends are treating me like one. I am on top of the world,” said Madhukar.
