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."

Diljit Dosanjh, Hania Aamir's Sardaar Ji 3 Becomes Top-Grossing Indian Film In Pakistan
Last Updated: Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3, featuring Hania Aamir, became the highest-grossing Indian film in Pakistan, earning Rs 3 crore on its 1st day, breaking Salman Khan's Sultan record. Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3 hasn't released in India yet given the ongoing controversy and backlash over Pakistani actress Hania Aamir's casting. However, the film is breaking records in Pakistan. It has become the highest-grossing Indian movie there, even though it stirred controversy for featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, something that goes against the ban on Pakistani artists in India. According to reports, the film earned Rs 3 crore on its first day in Pakistan, making it the biggest opening ever for an Indian film in the country. It even beat the record set by Salman Khan's Sultan back in 2016. Despite facing backlash in India, Sardaar Ji 3 is doing really well at the box office in Pakistan. In fact, reports say that theatres across the country have been running houseful shows. Sardaar Ji 3 has been banned in India in the wake of rising tensions with Pakistan, especially after the tragic Pahalgam terror attack in April. While the film hasn't released in India, it has hit theatres internationally, including in Pakistan. Diljit, standing by his decision to release the film abroad, has been sharing videos and reactions from packed theatres in Pakistan. Recently, Diljit Dosanjh took to Instagram and re-posted a video, which comprised the public's reaction to Sardaar Ji 3 inside a theatre in Pakistan. Interestingly, the video posted by the singer-actor showed Hania on the screen. He shared another post, in which he is seen proudly flaunting the film's global box office figures. Diljit has been facing boycott calls in his home country India. Diljit Dosanjh recently broke his silence on the controversy and Hania Aamir's casting in the film that was done months before the Pahalgam attack in April. Speaking to BBC Asian Network, the singer said that the project was completed before any of the current political tensions surfaced. 'Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha. We shot this in Feb and then everything was fine. Uske baad, bhut saari badi cheezen humare haath mein nahi hai. Toh producers ne decide kiya ki film obviously ab India toh nahi lagegi, toh overseas release karte hain. Toh producers ka bahut paisa laga hua hai aur jab yeh film bann rahi thi tab aisa kuch tha nahi (When this film was made, everything was fine. We shot it in February, and at that time, the situation was normal. After that, a lot of big things happened that are not in our control. So the producers decided that since the film obviously can't release in India now, they'll release it overseas. The producers have invested a lot of money, and when the film was being made, there was no such issue)," he said, adding that the makers are aware they will incur losses. 'Now the situation is not in our hands. So if the producers want to release it abroad, I support them," he shared. First Published: June 30, 2025, 12:17 IST

Poonam Dhillon recalls how Rishi Kapoor could sing sad songs with a smile
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 30 (ANI): Late actor Rishi Kapoor left for his heavenly abode on April 30, 2020, but he continues to live on in our hearts, memories and the pages of Indian cinema's history through his magnificent work and charming personality. In an interview with ANI, veteran actress Poonam Dhillon took a stroll down memory lane, recalling her collaboration with Rishi Kapoor on yesteryear's films. While looking back at her work with Rishi Kapoor, Poonam highlighted how "Chintu" (Rishi Kapoor's nickname) added special magic to film songs in his special ways. She shared, "I've learnt a lot from him (Rishi Kapoor). I think Rishi Kapoor was probably the only actor who could sing a sad song with a smile. And later, when I saw a lot of Raj Kapoor films, I found out that Raj uncle (Raj Kapoor) also used to (lip sync the songs similarly)...those were unhappy songs, but he would have a smile on his face and the tragedy was still there." "It wasn't as if you're smiling and it's a happy smile. It was a sad smile, you know. So Rishi Kapoor had that quality that he could make you feel absolutely emotional just by a look and the way he sang songs. He used to look so endearing when he would be singing songs," Poonam added. During the interview, Poonam also recalled the Kapoor family's warm hospitality, sharing a funny anecdote from her dining experience at Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor's house. "The whole unit used to be pampered by the Kapoors' food. I remember I did one film with RK Banner, I mean, we were more interested in knowing what's there for lunch than the shooting. Raj uncle would be there in his cottage. And we did a lot of shooting in the RK studio. Be it Raj uncle or Dabboo (Randhir Kapoor) or Chintu (Rishi Kapoor), they treated everyone to warm hospitality. Proper Punjabi khana...I don't think they would ever serve pizzas in their house," she quipped. "They make a lot of effort. I remember that after late evening, even their eating manners would change. So I remember going to Rishiji's house, Neetu had made a plate for him and me. And I'm saying, 'Neetu, don't put so much dal. I'm not going to eat so much dal.' Chintu says, 'don't worry, I'll take.' And with his hand, he's taken the dal and put it on his plate. I said, 'Chintu, what are you doing? Who takes dal with their hand?' But, you know, so they were like that. Very informal," Poonam reminisced. Poonam and Rishi Kapoor were a popular pair in the eighties. They had worked together in films such as Zamana, Biwi O Biwi, Ek Chadar Maili Si, and Yeh Vaada Raha.
