Calling the Indian singer an 'iconic legend", the K-pop star recalled his first encounter with Diljit. 'Yeah, so Diljit, obviously, he's an iconic legend, and the first time that I encountered (him) was a few years ago. We performed at Coachella. Okay, and his set was the last that closed out the Sahara tent, and my show was before that. And after my performance, I rush down. I looked. I watched his crazy set, and I was like, 'Oh my god, maybe one day, you know, I'll be blessed to have a collaboration with him'," he told Pinkvilla, revealing how he wondered about a collaboration with Diljit. Further, Wang talked about the creative process behind his global collaboration with the Amar Singh Chamkila star and stated, 'A few years passed by, and I was writing the song Buck. I was like, hey, Diljit is gonna sound like fire on this song. So, I sent it to them. I slid into his DM, and then I texted (him)." He added, 'I say, 'Hey champ. So this is the song that I created. If you like it, you know, vibe with it. If you don't, it's all good.' You know, all love and stuff, and he replied. He's like, 'Super.' He showed me a lot of love and support, and Yeah, that's how the collaboration came together." The 100 Ways singer was also asked if he has had any funny BTS moments with Diljit from the shoot of their music video, Buck. To this, Wang replied, 'Yeah, I mean, they're live. It's coming out soon. There are a lot even for the music video, even we were in a shoot together, even we were doing interviews together, but currently, he's not in India. He's very busy with his schedules." 'But yeah, he showed me a lot of love from a senior. You know, I really appreciate that," the global star mentioned while talking highly about his co-worker. Wang even revealed that he is a fan of Diljit's song, Chauffeur, a Punjabi track that blends elements of Punjabi music with rap, which he worked on, in collaboration with Canadian singer and rapper Tory Lanez. In the same conversation, Wang, who has come to India for the second time, also talked about his unexpected friendship with superstar Hrithik Roshan and Superboys of Malegaon star Adarsh Gourav.

Creative coupling
Interior stylist Samir Wadekar's career feels less like a straight line and more like a brilliantly improvised dance of serendipity. What started as a 'why not?' internship at a top interiors magazine soon blossomed into a full-time styling gig—and then into something even bigger. When client Gunjan Gupta challenged him to outfit her Gandhidham home using only Indian antiques and homegrown brands, the two discovered a mutual passion for regional crafts—and Amrai was born.

Bandhani meets Nike in a first-of-its-kind collaboration with Indian brand
The new Nike collection is all about Indian culture and craftsmanship. The sportswear giant has collaborated with Indian label NorBlack NorWhite for a limited edition collection. This is the first time Nike has partnered with an Indian result? A collection that feels like a crossover between bandhani and Nike sports essentials. Think bandhani bralette, tights with bandhani print on the sides, and a crossbody bag with traditional print accents. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nike Sportswear (@nikesportswear)advertisementNorBlack NorWhite is a Delhi-based label by Mriga Kapadiya and Amrit Kumar. It is known for combining traditional Indian crafts and textiles with streetwear silhouettes. 'Nike and NorBlack NorWhite applied the look of bandhani, a traditional Indian tie-dye technique, to sport-forward silhouettes designed to move with women throughout their everyday lives whether they're in the gym, on the move or unwinding in style,' Nike said in a collection comprises four shoes, a hoodie, a tank top, a cropped T-shirt, two bralettes, a pair of shorts, and tights.'15 years ago when NBNW was born, we couldn't imagine bringing our love for bandhani (tie-dye) into the sports arena but here we are and it's feeling too beautiful,' Kapadiya and Kumar of NorBlack NorWhite said in an Instagram in Jaipur, the campaign featured several Indian athletes including Anshu Malik, sprinter Priya Mohan and cricketers Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma.

As a woman in a sport that's often seen through a male lens, being part of a campaign like this is my way of saying, 'We're not just showing up, we're here to take over, win big and look fab while doing it.''The Nike-led collaboration marks a significant moment in global fashion, particularly when we are increasingly witnessing cultural appropriation and the lack of recognition for South Asian roots in many international fashion trends. The good old dupatta is being called a Scandinavian scarf, Gucci called Alia Bhatt's specially designed saree-inspired outfit a 'gown'.Fashion brands like H&M and Reformation, among others, are selling kurta sets and calling them 'top', with no acknowledgment of the origins of the silhouette.
