Kim's glimpses of Indian hospitality
Kim took to her Instagram Stories in the wee hours of Friday morning and shared videos and photos of her getting a warm welcome at a Mumbai hotel. In the first glimpse, she shared a picture of her getting welcomed at the hotel entry, where the staff greeted her with a tika (sacred mark) on her forehead, a shawl around her neck and a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
