I never expected to meet him in person, but Micromax made it happen not just for me but to all the lucky winners of this competition.”

The Sri Lankan winners were to attend the Delhi concert but it was unfortunately cancelled due to heavy rains. Not wanting to disappoint its customers Micromax flew the lucky winners to Hydrabad where the next concert was to be stage, all expenses paid.
Chalaka Liyanage, another winner commenting on the fully-sponsored trip, said: “We all took our seats at the VIP enclosure at the concert, which was very exciting for us as Bollywood stars along the likes of Sunil Shetty were also seated with us. We are extremely lucky to have met Bryan Adams personally; it’s a moment I will treasure for the rest of my life.”
