The 35-year-old singer who got engaged to actor Orlando Bloom wants to soak in the flavor of Bollywood and everything in India. Katy stated that “I just don’t stay in my room and I am not that girl who orders room service. I like to go out, seek the world. I love people, culture, and tradition. So you are going to catch me in the streets.” The singer looked thrilled and all prepped up to meet people from the Bollywood industry with a different perspective and compassionate artistic thing.
Katy Perry last visited India with her then-boyfriend, now ex-husband Russell Brand in 2010. During their trip, they visited the Taj Mahal, Agra, where Brand proposed the singer for marriage. The couple got divorced after two years. She called herself a “whole different human” as she feels rejuvenated coming to India after a long time. The singer seemed to mingle pretty well with the Kick actress Jacqueline. Katy feels like the actress is going to take her shopping.
Asking about the Music festival, Mr. Pigac said, ‘the festival was conceptualized as a community-building endeavor to help create a recall value for OnePlus. “We believe that the music festival will provide us [with] a platform that will [create] brand loyalty and strengthen our connections,” OnePlus as a brand has forged a formidable reputation for its out of the box activities for its dedicated & passionate community. It is the first time that a tech brand is organizing an event at such a massive level.
