A large number of eminent Indian and American personalities, besides fashion designers and culinary experts are being invited to celebrate the two day event on June 11 and 12 next year to make this a memorable event for years to come, organisers of the Polo Cup said on Wednesday at a kick-off reception here.
Tareq Salahi, captain of the US polo team, said this would be for the first time that A.R. Rahman and Pussycat Dolls would be performing live together.
