She took to X (formerly Twitter) to reflect on the historical and cultural connections between the two regions.
“Bengal and Britain share a relationship that spans centuries, rooted in history, culture, and commerce. As we landed in London yesterday, we stepped into a city that, much like Kolkata, carries the weight of its past while embracing the dynamism of the present,” she wrote.
