She expressed her joy upon learning that many people there had watched and appreciated her latest release, Heeramandi.

In her caption, she wrote, “It was an honor to be invited to 10 Downing Street to celebrate United Kingdom - Nepal relations and 100 years of our friendship treaty. It was such a pleasure to hear the Prime Minister @rishisunakmp speak fondly of our country #nepal. I took the liberty of inviting the P.M. and his family to come trek to Everest Base Camp. Can you believe that most of the attendees had seen #heeramandionnetflix and loved it? I was thrilled!!”

The post garnered a lot of attention, with fans flooding the comments section with praise. Many lauded her performance, while others showed their love with red heart and heart-eye emojis.
