Actor-singer Farhan Akhtar is full of praise for American rapper Jay Z after watching him perform at the Global Citizen India concert in Mumbai.
Jay Z performed his hit Bounce, set against AR Rahman’s tune Chaiya Chaiya, last night. He also sang We gonna run this town tonight, 99 Problems, In Paris, Drunk In Love and his Panjabi MC collaboration Beware Of The Boyz.
“I enjoyed all the performances, it would be unfair to pick anyone in particular. Everyone has done a good job and entertained the crowd. I have never seen Jay Z play before and when I saw it, I was blown,” Akhtar said.
The 42-year-old actor-filmmaker believes everyone should work towards various social causes.
“Start your own movement, do your own bit. Like education is important for kids, health and sanitation is essential for women and kids, gender equality, these are important things for better future and we all must work towards it,” he said.
Last night, the Rock On star performed songs such as Sindbad the Sailer from Rock On!! and Hawan Karenge from Bhag Milka Bhag.
He also invited actor Amitabh Bachchan on stage in the middle of his gig and the two sang Yaari teri yaari from their film Wazir.
While Akhtar played his guitar, Bachchan sang the song in his rich baritone.
