Dua Lipa had a fulfilling professional year in 2023. After the completion of the ‘Future Nostalgia’ tour, the singer took it slow in 2023. She had two major releases: ‘Dance the Night Away’ from ‘Barbie’ and her latest single, ‘Houdini’. As the year was coming to an end, the ‘Levitating’ singer took a holiday with her family in India.
It was not Dua Lipa’s first time visiting India. In 2019, along with Katy Perry, Dua came to India for a music festival in Mumbai, India. After four years, she is back with her family and has visited monuments in the northern states of Delhi and Rajasthan. She posted many pictures of her getaway while representing the culture of the country. It became a weapon for right-wing ideologists to demean women in India, which has led to a written war on the internet.

After the humid West Indian experience in 2019, Dua Lipa has returned to India for a chilly Northern experience. The singer came for the New Year’s vacation to India with her family. The first stop during the trip was the blue city of Rajasthan, Jodhpur. She shared glimpses of it on her social media.
Dua Lipa also went to Bangla Sahib Gurudwara in Delhi, a worship place for Sikhs, and also paid a visit to the historical monument of Humayun’s Tomb. The ‘One Kiss’ singer went on a safari ride and was also seen enjoying her cup of tea while wearing a traditional yellow kurta with Indian gods and goddesses on it.
However, her recent visit to India made some Indian men comment on Indian women and their lack of sensibility to embrace the culture, leading to political strife on the internet.

She added, “This experience has been deeply meaningful. I feel lucky to be in and within the magic with my family where we have had the time to explore, regroup, recharge, and restart. Ready for the year ahead. What a joy!!!”

Dua Lipa does that while supporting Palestine & carrying her own style because she is secure & confident in her skin,
doesn't need to demean Lavanya to feel good about herself, & doesn't sing hate songs in front of mosques. https://t.co/VF4MKAc3RC
