Iglesias made a grand return with a high-energy show packed with his biggest hits, from “Hero” to “Bailando.” The star interacted warmly with fans, walking down a ramp that extended into the audience.
In one memorable moment, a fan tossed a phone onto the stage. Iglesias caught it while singing, smiled, took a quick selfie with the phone, flashed a peace sign, and tossed it back. This moment went viral.
The act instantly became the highlight of the night, drawing laughter and cheers from fans. According to reports, several others tried to throw their phones in hopes of getting a selfie too, but Iglesias’s team ensured any stray devices were safely returned reported Hindustan Times.
The evening kicked off with electrifying opening acts, Indian EDM duo Progressive Brothers and Indo-Canadian pop star Jonita Gandhi, who set the stage for the international superstar.
