Jermaine Jackson is taking back a lot from India. He gorged on Indian food, especially the spicy kind, explored Mumbai and Agra in their full glory, and yes, even partied with King Khan!
Jermaine Jackson finds the Badshah of Bollywood is like the (late) King of Pop.
"I think he is simply great," Jermaine gushes about Shah Rukh Khan. "Someone who has so much success and still is so humble. He reminds me of my brother Michael -- he is so kind and so nice. He deserves everything in the world," he says.
While it is wife Halima Rashid who has influenced the singer-performer in watching Bollywood movies ("she is so into Indian music and movies that she has helped me identify Indian names now"), Jermaine reveals his favourite is Devdas. "I loved Devdas and I loved the house shown in the movie. I thought it actually existed and
enquired about it too. Then I was told that it was actually a built-up set," he laughs.
Unlike a lot of westerners who end up choking on spicy food of the subcontinent, Jermaine seems to be an exception. "The way Indians cook has a lot of similarity with the way we cook. That's the reason black Americans always frequent the Indian restaurants which are in plenty in the States. I love the spicy food here, especially the samosas, naan and mango chutney," ends Jermaine who had come to India for his video Let's Go to Mumbai City.
