Mr. Dandona, Chairman of the Bollywood Group of Companies said “I am absolutely devastated at this heartbreaking and totally shocking news of the tragic demise of Michael Jackson. He attended our very first Bollywood Awards and so graciously accepted our request to not only attend but even wear an Indian kurta pajama designed by Manish Malhotra especially for the occasion.
When I later met him and his children for dinner, my feelings were reinforced that this was a good man who was incredibly misunderstood by the public. Michael Jackson fans, who witnessed him in flesh and blood at the Bollywood Awards, will fondly remember him for years and years to come ” In his speech at the Bollywood Awards, Michael Jackson spoke of his admiration of Mahatma Gandhi,non-violence and later mentioned his interest in Hindi films.
Michael Jackson received the award for “Outstanding Contribution to Global Music and Entertainment†at the first Bollywood awards ceremony in 1999.
The only Indian mega event held in the U.S. which Michael Jackson attended was the Bollywood Awards at the Nassau Coliseum in New York. The packed to the rafters audience broke into raptures, the moment he walked to the stage. Shah Rukh Khan,Juhi Chawla,Shilpa Shetty, Javed Jaffrey, Arshad Warsi were among the stars who performed at this event.†I distinctly remember introducing Michael Jackson to Farah Khan as India’s number 1 Choreographer. He was thoroughly impressed by her. He was truly a fan of Indian culture and tradition.†Said Mr Kamal Dandona
Kamal Dandona added “Michael Jackson’s unsurpassed creativity and immensely loved music brought happiness to every corner of the world. We join today with his millions of fans in expressing our profound sadness and we offer our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. It was a true privilege and honor for me to have met him and known him as one of the most talented superstars in the history of music. We shall all miss him greatly.”
