This collaboration exemplifies my deep admiration for Indian music and my desire to create something truly special that resonates with fans from both cultures."

Aoora is popular in the Hindi music space too at present. During Durga Puja 2023, he was recently seen performing Dhunuchi Naach at a pandal. Embracing the Hindu culture, the K-Pop singer often visits Indian temples and actively participates in Indian festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi.
