“After performing for Diwali 2020 last year, I wanted to learn more about the traditional festivals and religious observances in India. My relationship with the Indian culture and love for India has grown through my learning and study of Hindi,” she said.

She thanked her Hindi coach and teacher of Indian culture Dr Moxraj.

“Mary is also learning about India through Hindi. She is influenced by the great culture of India. I am happy to know her passion and love for India,” Moxraj said.
