>> We love receiving invitations from erstwhile Maharajahs, especially if they have fierce beards and plumy accents. And, so when we received an exquisitely calligraphed and worded summons to watch Fox Star Studio’s The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel this Wednesday from the Maharana of Udaipur Arvind Singh Mewar, who’s no slouch in the fierce whiskers and plumy accent business we were delighted. The Maharana (or Sriji) as he insists friends call him who runs a well-oiled hospitality business conglomerate and is alarmingly tech and business savvy says his association with Marigold is tangential. “I guess the team thought I helped them a bit when they shot in Udaipur,” he said to us, when we asked him how he was involved. “We hosted the cast during their shoot.”
