“It was a fascinating thing to me because I went outside and it was like a movie set,” Pranga said. “All these people were engaged to make this house perfect before they got there for Christmas Eve.”
He told how he and his team were under a tight deadline with a simple direction to transform their home into a “Christmas in Africa” theme with “beautiful colors and prints”. He revealed that the team had “less than 24 hours to get her home.”
“Beyoncé is just a wonderful lady. It is very cold,” explained Pranga. “People are always looking for those wonderful or terrible celebrity stories.”
“But I see these people as people at home,” he concluded simply.
