Tears, cheers and Tauba Tauba: Vicky Kaushal makes Karan Aujla teary-eyed with heartfelt praise at Mumbai concert

The Mumbai leg of ‘It Was All A Dream’ tour of Karan Aujla was held in Mumbai on Saturday, December 21 at the sprawling R2 Ground in BKC and as expected, it was a rocking affair. Several Bollywood stars have made an appearance at Karan’s shows held in other cities. Hence, the anticipation was high that Vicky Kaushal would join the popular singer-performer in Mumbai. And that’s what happened, leading to a frenzy at the venue.

Karan Aujla’s debut Bollywood song, ‘Tauba Tauba’ from the film Bad Newz (2024), featured Vicky Kaushal in a rocking avatar and is arguably the most popular Hindi film song of 2024. Hence, the demand was tremendous for Vicky to appear and perform with Karan. His appearance details were kept a secret but once he came on stage suddenly, the joy of the attendees knew no bounds. Bollywood Hungama was present at the concert and first hand saw the craze and excitement not just during ‘Tauba Tauba’ but also when Karan Aujla performed his other hit songs.

After the performance, Vicky Kaushal and Karan Aujla addressed the crowd. Karan told the attendees, “Tell him, ‘We love you, Vicky’.” The crowd followed his instructions and showered their love on the dashing, talented actor. Vicky Kaushal then took the mic and asked “Kasa kai Mumbai?” He also joined the fans and chanted, “Aujla Aujla Aujla.”

Vicky Kaushal then said, “Before this beautiful year 2024 ends, we want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for making ‘Tauba Tauba’ the song of the year! I am so happy that my brother Karan Aujla made his first song for Bollywood with me. I have been a huge fan of him as a writer, singer and everybody out there.”

Vicky continued, “Karan, my brother, is a bit younger than me.” Karan laughed and said, “I am much younger than you!” Vicky smiled and added, “He is much younger than me but he has seen a lot more life than me. The journey that this man has had, he truly deserves to shine like the star that he’s shining today. I am so proud of him.”

At this point, Karan Aujla was moved to tears. Vicky Kaushal further stated, “Mumbai loves you, India knows you and every desi person across the globe loves you!” The crowd couldn’t stop hooting for Karan.

Vicky Kaushal then revealed, “I was standing backstage, waiting for my entry aur bhai softly baja raha tha. Mere se raha nahin ja raha tha. I started dancing backstage!” Karan Aujla asked him, “Would you like to dance here?” Vicky agreed and Karan Aujla asked his team to put on soft music. Both danced after which Vicky exited.
