“As I bid farewell to India after serving as the 26th U.S. Ambassador to this amazing country, my heart is full. You’ve given me a second home, a family of friends, and memories that will last a lifetime. Today, I leave as more than an ambassador—I leave as a lifelong friend and supporter of #USIndiaFWDfortheFuture,” Garcetti wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Eric had met Shah Rukh Khan back in 2023 at his bungalow, Mannat. Last year in 2024, he had talked about his meeting experience with ANI, recalling they talked about cricket initially as he was involved as a cricket owner.
"They’re like, 'Oh, my God, did you know who you met?' I said, yeah, Shah Rukh Khan. But I didn’t realise the level of love that there was across the country," Eric had said.
