On Friday, Beckham took to his social media to thank his hosts in India. Sharing pictures from the party, he wrote, "Honoured to have been welcomed into this great man’s home. To enjoy a meal with @iamsrk, @gaurikhan, their beautiful children and close friends – what a special way to end my first visit to India... Thank you my friend – you and your family are welcome any time in my home..."

He further added, "@sonamkapoor and @anandahuja - you hosted me with such warmth and kindness this week, thank you for the amazing evening you created at your home - see you again soon."

Reacting to the post, Sonam Kapoor wrote in the comments section, "You’re extremely gracious and a thorough gentleman."

Beckham was also hosted by Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and his wife Nita Ambani at their home Antilia in Mumbai. In a picture shared on social media, Beckham can be seen with the Ambani family, including Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani, Akash Ambani, Isha Ambani, Shloka Mehta and Radhika Merchant.
