A 93-year-old man in Mumbai claims to be the biggest fan of the British Royal family and wants to meet Prince William, his wife Kate Middleton and their son Prince George on their visit to India.
Boman Kohinoor, the owner of Mumbai's iconic Parsi cafe- Brittania, holds a picture of Will and Kate in one hand and in the other of Queen Elizabeth II. A photo of Queen Elizabeth hangs in his cafe next to that of Mahatma Gandhi. Another large cut-out of Will and Kate also hangs on one of the walls to prove his love for the British Royal family.
Will and Kate are scheduled to arrive in Mumbai on Sunday. This nonagenarian is planning to attend the cricket match at Oval Maidan on Sunday where the royal couple will also be present. Kohinoor has all his hopes pinned on this match.

Kohinoor tells AFP that he has written several letters to Queen Elizabeth over the years and on one such occassion he even got a reply from the official royal residence. He wishes that Will and Kate visit his cafe during their Mumbai stay.
"I would treat them to the best of my signature dishes like berry pulao and sali boti mutton, lamb, and fish and all that," Kohinoor tells AFP.
In the following video, Kohinoor reveals that his favourite was the beautiful Princess Diana, so much that he named his granddaughter after the princess.
