As
a
friend
of
the
princess
of
Qatar,
Mallika
H
E
Sheikha
Al
Mayassa
bint
Hamad
bin
Khalifa
Al-Thani,
Mallika
will
also
take
part
in
the
inauguration
of
Doha's
brand
new,
state-of-the-art
cultural
village
of
Katara

The
actress
met
the
Princess
some
years
ago
in
the
US
where
they
were
both
invited
for
a
women's
convention.
They
were
introduced
to
each
other
by
a
common
friend
have
remained
in
touch,
since.
Incidentally,
Mallika
was
the
only
B-Town

Princess'
wedding.
The
two
catch
up
whenever
possible
-either
in
Qatar
or
in
the
US.
