Dubai: Mahra Al Shehi was congratulated for her recent performance by none other than His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Mahra's Instagram post was accompanied with the caption: “Is there anything more beautiful than this cuddle and smile. It was an honour for his hands to carry me for the second time.”
The Emirati six-year-old, nicknamed the Queen of Children, shot to fame in 2016 after a video post of her mimicking one of Shaikh Mohammad’s speeches went viral.
Mahra was participating in the operetta, ‘This is My Nation’, which was organised by the Ministry of Education at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Watch Mahra’s performance as she recited poetry:
The operetta, which was performed by more than 500 students from across the country, was held under the patronage of President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The event was also attended by Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince, and Lieutenant-General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior.
The musical show included six acts, which reflected the advanced cultural scene, and the national achievements in the Emirati community.
