Mumbai, April 25: In the world of entertainment, certain names transcend time, becoming immortal. One such name is Michael Jackson. Recently, a special event was held in Mumbai, reviving the historic moment from 1996 when Michael Jackson first visited India.
Following the event, a special screening of a film about Michael was showcased. Bollywood celebrities shared their respect for Jackson during interviews with news agencies, recounting their personal memories associated with him.
For actor Neel Nitin Mukesh, this moment was particularly special. He recalled being one of the lucky children when Jackson came to Mumbai for the ‘History World Tour’ in 1996.
Neel stated, “I still vividly remember that time. My father took me, my sister, and about 20 close friends to the concert. Coming back here with my daughter after so many years feels like a ‘circle of life.’ I was a child then, and now as a father, I am showing his legacy to the next generation.”
He further expressed that a two-and-a-half-hour film could not do justice to someone as great as Michael Jackson. “Michael’s story is so vast that it deserves multiple films,” he added.
Singer Asees Kaur reacted to the film, noting that Michael is a polar star in the music world, and reaching his level is a dream for any artist. She remarked, “Michael Jackson was not just a singer; he was a legend. Achieving that level of stardom today is nearly impossible. If anyone in India can come close to Michael Jackson’s dance style, it would be Hrithik Roshan.”
Actress Soundarya Sharma praised the Wizcraft team for bringing Michael Jackson to India in 1996, establishing a new standard in the arts. She mentioned Michael’s iconic dance move, the ‘moonwalk,’ stating that he transformed dance into an art form never seen before.
Soundarya also acknowledged the contributions of Indian dancers, recalling the impact of Katrina Kaif and Madhuri Dixit. According to her, there will never be another like Michael Jackson.
