As part of the promotional tour for his new album, Magic Man 2, Wang engaged in a series of activities that highlighted his genuine appreciation for India, creating memorable moments for both the artist and his fans.

Wang's arrival in Mumbai was met with a warm welcome, with fans lining up at the airport to greet him with 'Namaste'.

During his week-long stay, Wang immersed himself in the local culture, sampling Mumbai's street food and interacting with locals. He even surprised fans by going live on social media while strolling through the streets of Mumbai, sharing his food adventures and interactions.

One of the highlights of his visit was his willingness to try local delicacies, including pani puri and vada pav. Despite being allergic to chilies, Wang enjoyed the spicy flavors, particularly the mashed potato filling in the vada pav and was fond of Dahi Puri. This culinary exploration showcased his openness to experiencing new cultures and connecting with the local community.

Wang's interactions with Bollywood personalities also garnered significant attention. He met with Hrithik Roshan, further solidifying their friendship that began during his previous visit.

He also attended a party with several Bollywood stars.

Beyond the promotional activities, Wang expressed a desire to "observe, absorb, and be inspired" by everyday life in India. He engaged in activities such as playing cricket on the beach with locals and attempting to squeeze sugarcane juice at a roadside stall. These experiences allowed him to connect with the local community.

Wang also expressed his admiration for Diljit Dosanjh, with whom he collaborated on the track "Buck". He referred to Dosanjh as a "legendary icon" and a close friend, further emphasizing the cross-cultural connections he has formed during his time in India.

During his visit, Wang donned a classic Kurta paired with Jodhpuri shoes, winning the hearts of fans. He also expressed his intention to wear the Kurta on his journey back, underscoring his appreciation for Indian fashion and culture.

Jackson Wang's trip to India was more than just a promotional tour; it was a cultural exchange. His willingness to embrace local customs, interact with fans, and collaborate with Indian artists has solidified his connection with the country and its people.
