At the Coronation concert on Sunday, the 37-year-old introduced several choir performances including The Bahamas Youth Choir, Steve Windwood and Virtual Commonwealth Choir.

“Our Commonwealth is a union. Together we are one third of the world’s people, one third of the world’s ocean, one quarter of the world’s land. Each of our countries is unique. Each of our people is special. But we choose to stand this one. Learning from our history, blessed by our diversity, driven by our values and determined to build a more peaceful, sustainable and prosperous future for everyone, where every voice is heard,” Sonam said.

Sonam's 'historic moment' got support from her family members and friends who cheered for her on social media. Sonam's mother, Sunita Kapoor, shared a video of her speech on Instagram. Her father, Anil Kapoor, also shared the video on his Instagram story and wrote, "Making us so proud."

Sonam's cousin brother Arjun Kapoor, uncle Sanjay Kapoor, aunt Maheep Kapoor and Bhavana Pandey as well as Shanaya Kapoor congratulated the Bollywood star on Instagram. "👏👏👏 this is such an honour," actress Neelam Kothari Soni commented on Sunita Kapoor's post.
