As per a source, couple Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja will host David Beckham at their residence in Mumbai.


"David Beckham is in India for his UNICEF commitment as a Global Ambassador and he will be meeting Sonam and Anand during his trip to Mumbai. The power couple will be hosting David when he is in Mumbai and have invited the crème de la crème icons of the city for a dinner at their residence," the source said.

Beckham is also expected to mark his presence during the first semifinal of the ongoing World Cup between India and New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium.

Beckham also paid a visit to Gujarat to understand the state of the action and contribute towards advocating for child rights and gender equality.

Sharing pictures from his visit, Beckham wrote, "An incredibly special few days with @unicef here in Gujarat ?? It’s a great privilege to see first-hand the work Unicef is doing on the ground to support children and their families. The energy and innovation I have seen here has been so inspiring and I loved hearing the children’s stories and their hopes and dreams for the future. When we empower young people, we see the change they can bring to their communities. @unicefindia."
