Katy Perry concert: Baba Sehgal expresses feelings of all Indians with his trademark wit
Ahead of Katy Perry's concert, Baba Sehgal narrated how despite the fans' love for her, they'll find it hard to get tickets, so he requested her for a VIP pass.
India has always been known for music lovers who avidly follow the work of international artists. However, it’s only in the last few years that many of these pop stars have come to the country to perform, proving the emergence of India as a market for international music. After Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, the latest global pop sensation who will perform in India is Katy Perry. Her arrival in Mumbai has already made headlines, and not just the fans, but also the media has been tracking every movement of hers. With the popularity of the California Gurls singer, it goes without saying that getting a pass for the concert won’t be a cakewalk. A lot of die-hard fans, who might want to catch a glimpse of Katy Perry, won’t be able to do so, due to the lack of availability of the tickets or their rates. Baba Sehgal summed up this sentiment of such people in his typical style, by dedicating a special song to Katy Perry. Conveying his love for Katy Perry in his typical use of rhyming words and catchy beats, he hopes she provides her tickets for the concert since the prices were high.
In a selfie video posted on his Instagram handle, Baba Sehgal shared the feelings of many of Katy Perry’s fans in Punjabi. "Tere concert ke ticket mehengi mehengi mehengi, Oh taste tere gaane da kudiye tangy tangy tangy. Ek paas dila de VIP, which I will carry carry carry. I love you Katy Perry, oh very very very (The prices of your concert tickets are expensive, and your songs’ taste is expensive, please provide me with a VIP pass, that I will carry, I love you Katy Perry).
