December 1, 2024: Dua Lipa’s performance in Mumbai has clearly been a major highlight for both her fans and for Indian pop culture.
The live concert, which took place on Saturday, saw the global star create some unforgettable moments for her audience. One of the most talked-about highlights from the event was when Dua performed to a fan-made mashup of her hit song Levitating and Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic track Woh Ladki Jo from the 1999 film Baadshah. This unexpected fusion delighted both fans of Dua and Bollywood lovers, and social media users couldn’t get enough of it.
Many took to platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with one user commenting, “Dua Lipa did not miss the meme Levitating x Woh Ladki,” while another wished that Shah Rukh Khan had been there to join in the fun.
Dua’s love for Bollywood and Shah Rukh Khan has been well-documented. She even had the chance to meet SRK during a trip to India in 2019, where they posed for a memorable picture together. In a sweet gesture, Shah Rukh shared the photo on his Instagram and gave Dua a special shout-out, mentioning how he hoped she would teach him some of her dance steps. The connection between the two stars shows a lovely cultural exchange between Western and Indian entertainment.
The Mumbai concert also had its share of celebrity guests. Renowned figures such as Radhika Merchant, Anand Piramal, Ranvir Shorey, and Namrata Shirodkar were in attendance, adding more star power to the event. Dua had arrived in Mumbai earlier in the week, and it was noted that she dined with her boyfriend, actor Callum Turner, before the concert. Fans were quick to share videos of the couple, who appeared to be in high spirits.
Dua had previously announced her return to India in August, expressing her love for the country and the warmth she experienced during her previous trips. Her upcoming performance as part of the Zomato Feeding India Concert was something she looked forward to, as it provided her with another chance to interact with the vibrant energy of the country.
Dua’s trip marks her third visit to India, following her earlier performances in 2019 and her vacation in Rajasthan earlier this year. It’s clear that her bond with the country and its people continues to grow, and fans are eager to see what other surprises she has in store for them.
