Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber reportedly earned a staggering $10 million for his hour-long performance at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s sangeet ceremony in Mumbai last week.
However, his choice of attire has caused quite a stir on social media. Posing with the bride and groom-to-be, Bieber sported his signature look: a white vest, a black baseball cap, and black low-waist bicycle shorts that exposed his blue-and-green striped boxers.
The reaction on social media was swift and sharp. One user on X commented, “Justin Bieber gets $10 million to flash his underwear at Ambani Sangeet. Some people have all the luck….”
Another quipped, “Manmohan Tiwari from Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai sponsored Justin Bieber’s kacha baniyan…” A third user remarked, “Yaar, ya to ye pajama pehen le ya Kaccha (Either wear the pyjama or the boxers).” The criticism continued with comments like, “You have money doesn’t mean you are a gentleman,” and, “Ye 50 rs ka nikkar hai (These shorts look worth ₹50).”
Despite the wardrobe controversy, Bieber’s performance itself was a hit. Held at the Jio Convention Centre in Mumbai on Friday night, the sangeet saw Bieber performing some of his biggest hits, including “Baby,” “Peaches,” “Love Yourself,” and “Sorry.” The 30-year-old artist captivated the audience, making the evening memorable for all attendees.
Following the performance, Bieber returned to Miami but not before sharing moments from the event on Instagram. He posted photos and videos from his trip to India, his electrifying performance, and the enthusiastic crowd that cheered him on. One of the photos showed Bieber smiling broadly as he posed with Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, capturing a moment of joy amidst the grandeur.
While Bieber’s fashion choices may have sparked debate, there’s no denying the impact of his performance at the star-studded event. His appearance at the Ambani sangeet will be remembered both for his musical prowess and his unconventional style.
