The city of Mumbai was absolutely ready to welcome international pop sensation Justin Bieber.

On Wednesday evening, thousands of fans came to attend Justin Bieber’s Purpose World Tour, at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi, Mumbai. As the singer had arrived in India for the very first time, Bollywood celebrities also came to watch him live.

Alia Bhatt, Malaika Arora, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arbaaz Khan, Pooja Hegde, Sophie Choudry, Anurag Basu, Arjun Rampal, Bipasha Basu were some of the attendees among others.

Sonali Bendre was one of the attendees who came for her kids. It seems like not all left the venue with all praises for the concert. Sonali Bendre was one who criticized the concert and called it a complete waste of time. “Biebered out!!! Missed d efficiency of @WizcraftIndia n d personal touch of @WizAndreTimmins #wasteoftime,” she said.

Even Bipasha Basu and her husband Karan Singh Grover left the venue pretty early. Speaking to media, Bipasha said, “We didn’t get security with us and it is too crowded so we are leaving.” Later, they both went for dinner and shared a cosy picture with a caption that read: “So what we could not enjoy at the concert… still it’s always fun with you my love. Thank you.”

Justin Bieber’s Mumbai show saw a massive turnout of 50,000 people. This was his first trip to India and he promised that he would like to come again in future.
