British Prime Minister David Cameron said people of India and Britain share so much culturally.

“Whether it's watching Shah Rukh Khan, eating the same food, speaking the same language and, of course, watching the same sport, we have so much in common,” he said.

‘So talented'

“Many of you would have grown up revering Kapil Dev; I did the same with Ian Botham. And Sachin Tendulkar, the Little Master, is so talented that wherever you are from, you cannot help but admire him as he hits another century.”

“Indeed, culture is so important to our relationship that it's going to be a significant part of what I talk to Prime Minister Singh about tomorrow,” Mr. Cameron said.
