When Justin Bieber was called 'Yo Yo Honey Singh'
International pop icon, Justin Bieber has been making the headlines ever since he landed in India. One of the first few things that went viral from his India visit was Bieber interacting with underprivileged kids in a bus.
In a video posted by an Instagram user, which has been grabbing a lot of eyeballs and has become a topic of discussion, the kids can be seen innocently shouting out to him as ‘ Yo Yo Honey Singh.’
Honey Singh has been a long-standing popular name in the Indian music industry, so much so that his name is used as a synonym to pop music.
The music sensation's popularity spreads across the length and breadth of the country, with the fans residing across quarters.
Singh seems to hold a prime spot in the hearts of the Indian audience, with his songs having topped charts and his chartbuster Dheere Dheere being the first Indian song to cross 200 million views.
The 'Baby' hitmaker is in India as a part of his Purpose World Tour, organised by White Fox India and sponsored by Jio.
With approximately 50,000 'Beliebers' thronging to his concert, the stadium got the loudest cheers when the 'Love Yourself' star announced that he would be back soon.
Bollywood and TV industry came out in full force with Alia Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt, Malaika Arora, Arbaaz Khan, Sridevi with her daughters Jhanvi and Khushi, Arjun Rampal, Bipasha Basu, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonali Bendre, Aamir Ali, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Rochelle Maria Rao spotted in the audience.
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.
During his trip to India, Bieber is expected to visit New Delhi, Jaipur and Agra.
