At the ceremony, Ali was overjoyed to have met, his icons including Britney Spears and Samuel L Jackson. In fact, he even earned praises from the man himself, Samuel L Jackson who was all praises for Ali’s role in Victoria and Abdul.
Speaking about his experience, Ali said:
“It was surreal. We were all on the same tables, dining at the award show. I mean the fact is, Britney has been an icon during the largest part of my childhood. She was up there breaking records with her hit singles. I bet all my friends know lyrics to at least two of her songs. Like it or not, it’s like the era of backstreet boys and Nsync. She was receiving the fragrance-beauty award for her latest perfume line and so I guess I went to get a whiff of that and congratulate her. Samuel L Jackson and I share the same team, and so this meeting was pending for a while. What can I say, am just a huge fan? And he loved my performance from my film Victoria and Abdul. So that was one of the best compliments I have received in my life. Somethings are just best experienced I guess. I told him I hope I meet him on a set next time working together. So I’ll leave it at that for now.”
