Dua Lipa took the stage in Mumbai on Saturday, and one highlight that fans can’t get over is her performance on the viral Levitating x Woh Ladki Jo mashup, which was created by DJ Ruchir. While the former is one of Dua Lipa’s most popular songs, the latter is a hit Bollywood song from the movie Baadshah, sung by Abhijeet Bhattacharya. As this cultural amalgamation sets in, here are other such crossovers and collaborations between Indian and foreign music artistes that you can go back to.
