Dua Lipa performed the viral Levitating X Woh Ladki Jo Mashup live at her Mumbai Concert on Saturday; Abhijeet Bhattacharya upset about not getting acknowledged
Mumbai was on fire as global pop sensation Dua Lipa took the stage at the Zomato Feeding India Concert 2024. While fans came expecting her chart-topping hits, Dua had an unforgettable surprise: a mashup of her smash hit Levitating with Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic Bollywood track Woh Ladki Jo from the movie Baadshah.
Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, joined the excitement by sharing a clip of the mashup on her Instagram Stories. She added some fun emojis—a heart, a dancing girl, and a goofy face—to show her love for the moment. Fans in the comments couldn’t contain themselves.
If the mashup wasn’t enough, Dua stole hearts by grooving to the beats of Woh Ladki Jo. She nailed the Indian style moves, blending them seamlessly into her usual high-energy performance. Fans were awestruck, with one commenting, “Dua doing Indian dance moves was the highlight of the night!”
Back in 2019, she met Shah Rukh Khan during her visit to India, even taking a memorable picture with him. SRK later posted the photo, joking about learning “New Rules” from Dua.

Dua took a moment during her performance to gush about India. She called it a magical place, expressed her love for Indian culture, and promised to return soon. Fans couldn’t get enough of her heartfelt speech.
Before the show, Dua and her boyfriend, actor Callum Turner, were spotted in Mumbai, turning heads in matching black outfits. The couple looked stylish as ever, hand in hand, leaving a chic restaurant. Naturally, fans couldn’t stop raving about their Mumbai date night.
While the mashup was celebrated worldwide, singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, who originally sang Woh Ladki Jo, expressed his disappointment. In an Instagram Story re-shared by Dua, Jay, Abhijeet’s son, questioned why the media always highlights actors but ignores the singers behind iconic songs.
He wrote, “Dua must have heard the song, not seen it. The singer is Abhijeet Bhattacharya, not SRK.” The comment sparked a debate about giving singers their due credit in Bollywood.
Composer Anu Malik, who created the song’s music, also joined the conversation. He posted, “Dua Lipa ke concert mein bhi sabse zyada baat Anu Malik ke gaane ki ho rahi hai.”
