Shawn Mendes took the stage at Lollapalooza India 2025 in Mumbai, wearing an Indian cricket team jersey featuring Virat Kohli’s name and signature number 18. The singer’s gesture, ahead of India’s Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand on March 9, won over Indian fans.
“If you are big you are big. Thats AURA Of Sir Virat Kohli,” a social media user commented. Another wrote, “Chikoo bhaiya is a rockstar. Even Shawn knows what Indians love.” Many considered this moment a highlight of his performance.
Meanwhile, a video of Shawn performing his hit song Señorita on the streets of Mumbai has gone viral. In the clip, he kneels, strums his guitar, and sings while a gathering crowd joins in.
Shawn also performed privately for students of The Sound Space, a Mumbai-based music school. The institution shared a video with the caption, “When you get a private performance of ‘Señorita’ from the artist himself… this wasn’t just a performance — it was pure magic!”
The 26-year-old singer, set to perform at Lollapalooza India, was also spotted shopping at Colaba Causeway, a bustling Mumbai market known for its diverse street vendors. Casually dressed in a vest and jeans, Mendes blended into the crowd while browsing for footwear.
