HRVY said in a statement to IANS: "Namaste India, I can't wait to visit your country. I have a lot of surprises in store for my fans. Love you all!"

Some of the Bollywood celebrities are equally excited.

Actor Rohit Roy said: "My daughter's reaction to HRVY coming to India was epic! I knew he was extremely popular but had no clue that he was so insanely popular so as to bring tears of joy to her eyes! Namaste right back at you HRVY."

Producer Ritesh Sidhwani said that Arav and his friends Alea, Aryaman and Aaryan were super excited when they found out that their band had got an opportunity to open for HRVY's concert.

"They love his work and couldn't have asked for a better way to put out their music. The kids are thrilled to perform on stage and give it their best shot in front of the crowd," he added.

Actress Raveena Tandon said her daughter and friends are absolutely thrilled to hear that HRVY is performing in Mumbai.
