One user asked- Why do Indians go down begging Maam, Maam when in the West they always refer anyone by the first name? British are gone but slavery is left behind. Utterly disgusting display of culture.
Another user commented- This utter disregard for Airport security check should be brought to the notice of administrators. And one said- They should respect our law. Very shameful act.
What is your take on this incident? Whose side are you on?
A Perry good encounter
Music composer Amit Trivedi, who was part of Perry's concert says as music is a universal language, such platforms are important. "I admire the way Katy Perry performs on stage and to share it with her was amazing. It's good to see people from across the globe sharing the same stage." Singer Dhvani Bhanushali. who was also part of the opening act, had a starstruck moment after meeting Perry. "Before I could say anything, she told me that my outfit was amazing, She thought I was pretty. We were both dressed in neon colours. I also complimented her and told her that she was awesome." Bhanushali adds, "Meeting her was the highlight of the evening, but performing at the concert was the cherry on the cake. I am grateful for the opportunity. I am still pinching myself as it has been a surreal week so far."
Perry's visit to India has truly been one of the biggest events of the year so far. There was expected excitement and fans and Bollywood stars were waiting with bated breaths to meet and even witness her performance live. It seems she's likely to come on the Indian soil again, given the love and adulation she has received from the people.
