MUMBAI – After setting the stage on fire in Dubai, international singing sensation Justin Bieber arrived in Mumbai in the wee hours of Wednesday, where he was received at the airport by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s bodyguard Shera, who is in charge of the former’s security in Mumbai along with additional Z-level security provided by the Mumbai Police.
During his trip to India, Bieber was expected to visit New Delhi, Jaipur and Agra but quickly left India after the Wednesday night concert where many in the crowd and Indian media said he was lip syncing. Reports confirmed he actually lip synced to 3 songs.
Fans had been waiting with bated breath for his arrival at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. The several hundreds of media-persons and fans, who had parked themselves at various points outside the Mumbai Airport for a glimpse of Bieber, were largely disappointed.
Before setting off for the Indian subcontinent, Bieber took to Twitter to inform his fans about his arrival.
“Dubai is incredible… India you are next. @Amit_Bhatia99 u ready? #PurposeTourStadiums,” he tweeted.
Bieber cancelled all his plans of sightseeing in Jaipur and Agra and left India hours after his performance in Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium. The pop star was reportedly going to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra and have a scrumptious meal and then a camel ride on the sand dunes of Rajasthan.
But Bieber, who loves spending time with kids and his fans, did visit a Mumbai orphanage. On Wednesday, before the concert when he was expected to rest and prepare for his gig, the “Sorry” singer paid a visit to an orphanage in Mumbai, just after breakfast at the posh Mumbai Hotel, St. Regis.
He then directly left for New Mumbai by road, and visited a slum area on his way to DY Patil Stadium, the concert venue. Here he again met the slum kids and he was seen playing with them too. He definitely touched a million hearts with his gesture.
The concert started at around 5 pm with Sartek’s opening performance, and there was Zaeden. But Alan Walker actually elevated the mood and energy with his performance. He set the stage for the highlight performance by Justin Bieber. The singer himself seemed a little tired and jet-lagged with all the travelling he’s been doing in the city and, of course, his global tour.
Many of his fans thought he was lip syncing his performance, but many others loved him to bits.
The Cold Water singer embarked on the world tour on March 9, 2016 in Seattle. He will close it on September 24 this year in Tokyo.
