Last Updated:
K-pop star Jackson Wang grooves to Katrina Kaif's Chikni Chameli during his India visit. Watch the viral video that has fans loving his Bollywood flair!
K-pop sensation Jackson Wang is wrapping up his recent India visit with a heart full of memories and a bag full of viral moments. The 31-year-old GOT7 member was in Mumbai as part of the promotions for his much-anticipated album Magic Man 2, which drops on July 18. And while the music world eagerly awaits his next release, Indian fans were treated to a different kind of magic — one that involved Bollywood dance moves and street food.
A video that's now winning hearts on Instagram shows Jackson effortlessly grooving to the iconic Chikni Chameli track from the 2012 film Agneepath. Dressed in an all-black outfit, the singer-rapper delivered the hook step with surprising ease. Fans were left wondering — who taught Jackson these moves? 'Our boy knows how to excel at everything," read one caption, perfectly capturing the sentiment.
The song, originally performed by Katrina Kaif with Hrithik Roshan also featuring in the film, seems to have inspired Jackson. And it doesn't stop there.
During his stay, Jackson met Hrithik Roshan and his family, sparking a hilarious rumour that he was joining the Krrish franchise. He later clarified in an interview with NDTV, 'I was only joking. Hrithik is a good friend. I admire him a lot, but no, I'm not a part of Krrish or any other film at the moment. I was just trolling — and it became headlines the next day!"
Beyond Bollywood, Jackson's India diary was packed with celebrity encounters and cultural moments. He met musical legends like Adnan Sami, Salim Merchant, and Pritam, and posed with stars like Sonu Nigam, Tiger Shroff, and Karan Johar. He also got a taste of local cuisine, sharing a picture of him enjoying dahi puri with the caption, 'Bahut bahut dhanyawad. What a wonderful trip. Will definitely be back for Magic Man 2 to perform."

Shah Rukh Khan was not on the poster of his own film, can you guess the movie by looking its iconic poster ?

Shah Rukh Khan is not just a name but a brand in himself. He is the emotion to lakhs of people in India and even outside the nation. There have been times when fans got to know that SRK's movie has been put up on the big screens, and they queued up to buy tickets. However, do you know that one of Shah Rukh Khan's films did not have his face on the main poster? Despite that, the film went on to be the highest-grossing movie of the year. Instead of Shah Rukh Khan, another actor became the face of the poster. If you are wondering who this actor was and which movie we are talking about, let us tell you that the actor was Armaan Kohli and the movie was Deewana. Not Shah Rukh Khan but This Actor Became The Face Of Deewana's Poster Released in 1992, Deewana was directed by Raj Kanwar. The movie initially cast Armaan Kohli. However, after some disagreement with the producers, Armaan was replaced by Shah Rukh Khan. Apart from SRK, the movie also featured Divya Bharti and Rishi Kapoor. In a chat show, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about the poster of the film. He revealed that it is not him but Armaan who was chosen for the main poster of Deewana. Shah Rukh Khan Became Famous Because Of… During a conversation with Sajid Khan and Riteish Deshmukh's show Yaaron Ki Baraat, Sajid asked Shah Rukh what comes to his mind on hearing Armaan Kohli's name? To this, Shah Rukh Khan replied, 'Armaan Kohli is a big reason why I have become a star. Very few people know that my first film that was released was Deewana. I signed it late. It became a big hit and because of that people started liking me a lot.' Talking about the poster, SRK said, 'That was a very iconic poster, but I am not in that poster. That is Armaan Kohli and Divya Bharti ji. Because at that time, the films did not have that much budget and I had just come, so they thought that they will get a photo taken of it and maybe they also thought that I cannot lift the girl like this, I will fall down and my back will break.' Today, Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest names in the Bollywood industry and has made fans go gaga for him.

From Papon to Anuv Jain: Musicians recall their first concert ever!

For every artist performing sold-out arenas and headlining music festivals today, there was once a first time—an unglamorous stage, modest crowds, nervous anticipation, and that unforgettable rush of being heard. From intimate café gigs and school festivals to chaotic underground rap shows, these first performances left an indelible mark on their journeys. We asked a range of Indian musicians—indie darlings, playback stars, and producers—about their very first concert. What they shared was a mix of nostalgia, vulnerability, and joy. Here's a peek into the raw, unfiltered beginnings of artists you've streamed, sung along with, and cheered for. Papon, Shilpa Rao and Anuv Jain among other musicians recall their first concert ever! Before his romantic ballads took over playlists, Stebin Ben was nervously setting foot in a small Bhopal café. 'It was a small setup, maybe 40-50 people, but the vibe was amazing,' he says. 'I was nervous, but once I started singing, the energy shifted.' What stayed with him even more than the ₹ 5,000 fee was the validation: 'A few people actually came up to me after the show and said they liked it—and that meant everything.' He would go on to save ₹ 20,000 from similar café shows and make the move to Mumbai. 'That's how it all began.' Shalmali Kholgade Around 2012, fresh off the release of her breakout song Pareshaan, Shalmali found herself performing at a Times of India event on Worli Seaface. 'I did it by myself, on tracks,' she recalls. 'I remember being excited but also clueless as to how it would go.' Despite the early jitters, she held her own and even earned a decent paycheck. 'I vaguely remember getting paid 50,000 or so for it,' she says. That first solo performance marked the start of her evolution from playback singer to a live performer who now commands massive festival crowds. Shilpa Rao For Shilpa Rao, her first concert memory is more a family story than her own. 'I have a very faint memory of it, actually,' she says, laughing. 'My parents have told me more about it than I remember myself.' She was just five when she joined her father on stage in Jamshedpur. 'He had taught me a few songs, expecting I'd sing just one and then sit quietly. But once I started singing, I didn't stop—I kept going!' She earned ₹ 101 that day, but what stayed with her was the pride on her father's face. 'That joy and pride my parents felt—that was priceless.' Papon Though known today for his deeply emotive songs and Assamese folk-electronic blend, Papon didn't leap into live shows right away. 'My first proper concert was in 2007, three years after my album launch,' he shares. 'I wanted the music to get popular first. Nobody knew me till then.' Encouraged by a friend, he finally agreed. 'Ronji, from the dhaba, he organised it. It cost 35K. We called my friends, some guitar players, and put together a proper show.' The response? 'Full house. That was the big concert. That's where it all started.' Akshat Acharya Before his breakout hit Naadaniyan struck a chord with indie music lovers, Akshat Acharya was just hoping his first concert wouldn't fall flat. 'I was really nervous—it was the first time we were performing our set in a full band format,' he shares. 'When you take pop songs and adapt them for a live band, it takes a lot of reworking.' To add to the pressure, the audience wasn't full of strangers. 'There were friends and people I work with—people I really respect. That definitely added pressure.' But once the band hit their stride, things changed. 'I had an absolute blast. For a first performance, we did pretty well. Looking back now, there's such a stark difference—it really helped shape who we are today.' Anuv Jain Before he was packing venues across India, Anuv Jain played his first-ever gig in 2019 in Chandigarh. 'There were about 100-150 people. It was a sit-down concert—very meditation-y, yoga sort of vibe,' he recalls. It was also the first time he performed a set of his own songs. 'I was paid around 10 grand—which was a huge amount for me back then.' But it wasn't just the money that changed things. 'That's when I thought—maybe I can become a musician.' Akanksha Bhandari In 2019, Akanksha Bhandari performed her first gig singing all covers. 'I made my own set for the show,' she says. 'It was a beautiful show.' Even though she wasn't paid, the impact was lasting. 'A lot of fans from that show still text me saying they saw me perform there and loved it.' Was she disappointed about not getting paid? Not at all. 'It was a new space, but getting that opportunity was brilliant. I won't ever complain about it.' OAFF Long before scoring Gehraiyaan, OAFF performed at CEPT University in Ahmedabad with his friend longtime collaborator Savera, in the early 2000s. 'We were the only school kids performing there while all the other bands were much, much older,' he remembers. 'It was a community thing—everyone played for free. At least we weren't paid!' Despite their age, the duo held their ground. 'It was really, really cool. Definitely a first gig to remember.' Chaar Diwari Rapper Chaar Diwaari's debut show was as chaotic as it was unforgettable. 'It was a show featuring some of the best underground Delhi rappers—Arpit Bala, Faizan, J Block,' he says. 'I held the mic as Chaar Diwari for the first time. I was jumping around—I didn't even look good doing it!' He used regular earphones as makeshift in-ear monitors and tried to perform his freshly composed song Bhul Ja, but the DJ couldn't play it. Still, he got a warm welcome and stayed for the afterparty. 'I didn't get paid—actually, I gave money because I had to buy a ticket. But it was totally worth it. One of my core memories as a musician.'
