Katy Perry arrives in Mumbai; has shopping, eating and Bollywood on mind

Pop Star Katy Perry arrived in the city for her performance this weekend and says she's excited to indulge in "all things Indian", including discovering shopping streets and partying with Bollywood celebrities.

The 'Roar' hitmaker will perform at the DY Patil Stadium on November 16 as part of the OnePlus Music Festival.

"I'm excited to watch some of the other people performing. I'm totally excited to immerse myself in the culture, this week in Mumbai. I am not the girl who stays indoors and orders room service. I go out, seek the world, I love people, culture, traditions. You're going to catch me on these streets," Perry told reporters.

She was speaking at a special press conference here, where she was joined by actor Jacqueline Fernandez who will play the host at the festival.

When asked if she is keen to collaborate with local artistes, Perry said, "That's what the research and development this week is going to be about. I am going to a fun party, going to meet some Bollywood people and hearing some incredible bands. It's been a long time since I've been here."
The singer said every seven years, every cell in the body rejuvenates, making one a whole different person, "so I'm a whole different human, here in Mumbai, India."
