Nelly Furtado was herself present at the press conference where she confessed being an avid follower of the Hindi music. Back in Canada, she grew up with Canadians of Indian origin and learnt a lot from them. Nelly went on to sing Lata Mangeshkar’s Kabhi-Kabhi for the media gathering that applauded her one-liner effort.
