Singh said, “Switzerland has always been known for its serenity and its natural beauty, but what surprised me were the adventures in store for me when I visited. Going to Switzerland has always been my dream. After all it’s a country made famous by Yashji! And now I look forward to my next trip as official Brand Ambassador in winter. I’ve been told it’s like visiting an entirely different country.”
