Dhvani Bhanushali: The opening act at the OnePlus Music Festival nobody saw coming

By Bandook - November 17, 2019

The inaugural edition of the OnePlus Music Festival saw at least one surprise spring up a couple of days. That was the day Dhvani Bhanushali announced to her fans via her social media pages that she would be an opening act for headliners Dua Lipa and Katy Perry.

This was unusual because all the other acts were officially announced with specific time slots given. As Dhvani took the stage after Amit Trivedi, it was a heady moment for her fans, who were treated to a live rendition of her biggest hits like Psycho Saiyaan, Dilbar, Leja Re and Vaaste.

On meeting Katy Perry backstage, Dhvani said the superstar complimented her on her outfit and told her she was “really pretty”. Adds Dhvani, “Meeting Katy was surely the highlight of the evening but performing on the same stage was surely the cherry on the cake. I am so grateful for the opportunity and am still pinching myself. It’s been a surreal week so far.

Dhvani also had a chance to meet Dua Lipa and hang out with the New Rules hitmaker.
