This is the first time Aoora has sung in Hindi and he’s thrilled.

On his own rendition of the late Bappi Lahiri song ‘Jimmy Jimmy’

I heard the song two months back and I loved it. The beats were very modern and I felt that if we could add K-pop elements to it, the result would be phenomenal. That’s how I thought of this Indian-Korean collaboration which I always wanted to do.

On how challenging it was to sing in Hindi

The K-pop artist said that it was quite challenging to sing in Hindi as the pronunciation of words is very different in Korean. He says he tried his best to copy the accent.

First Indian song he heard

‘Cham Cham Cham’ from ‘Baaghi’ was the first song he heard in 2022 and he got really hooked. He said he loves Indian music because of its energy and grandeur.

Actor he would love to collaborate with

Aoora said he would love to collaborate with Tiger Shroff.

On his future plan

He wants to pursue his dream of bringing Indian and Korean music together.
