Speaking to The Telegraph about her meeting with the Rock legend, Usha Uthup said, “I was so excited to meet the legendary Mick Jagger. Snehasish Da (Snehasish Ganguly) was kind enough to arrange my visit to Eden Gardens on the day of the match. We know each other, but I was really looking forward to interacting with him. A lovely gentleman, he apologised for being late to the match, as soon as he walked in. We immediately struck a chord and it was lovely chatting with him.”
