It was Jennifer Lopez’s first time in India. It was not a big, public, banging outdoor concert in Delhi or Mumbai or Bangalore.

It was for a private performance on a glamorous, royal palace hotel island in Rajasthan.

The Hinduja wedding provided India with a glamour quotient like few other.

Bollywood was there – but the presence of J Lo – performing to a bhanga beats for a bit; and the Pussycat Doll herself Nicole Scherizinger, who also performed.
