During a conversation with Samantha for Elle India during the event, David said, "India was one of the places I had never been to, and two years ago when I came here, I was blown away. I knew I was going to love it, but I didn’t know I was going to love it as much as I do now. And that says it’s about the people, the environment, the culture, and the food. But people in India, the energy is not what so many places have in the world."
