The event, reportedly titled Fenty Beauty Ki Haveli, is expected to showcase the brand’s latest offerings, known for its inclusive range of shades and products.
This is not Rihanna’s first visit to India. In 2024, she travelled to Jamnagar to perform at the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Her performance featured hit tracks including Rude Boy, Pour It Up, Diamonds, and Wild Things, becoming one of the most widely discussed highlights of the event.
During the same visit, Rihanna interacted with several Bollywood celebrities. Clips of her dancing with Janhvi Kapoor to Zingaat and sharing a moment with Shah Rukh Khan on Chaiyya Chaiyya went viral across social media platforms.
Speaking about her experience during an Instagram Live session with her friend Melissa Forde, Rihanna said, “I had the best time in India. I only have two days. The only reason I am leaving India is because my kids are (unclear audio). I have to come back."
Reports had also suggested that Rihanna was paid £5 million (around ₹52 crore) for her performance during the 2024 visit, marking her first live appearance in India.
Rihanna’s latest arrival in Mumbai has once again placed India at the centre of global entertainment conversations, with anticipation building over the official confirmation of her purpose in the country and the Fenty Beauty Ki Haveli event.
