Lucky said, “It's (India is) aware of all its talents. Everybody gets a space to perform and everybody gets a space to express themselves. So, in that way, India is very accepting of its artists and art.”

Lucky also applauded the growing number of live music concerts in India, seeing them as a great platform for artists to perform and express themselves.

His statement comes amid much discussion that India doesn't have the right setup for live music concerts. Since the last few months, several concerts have been taking place in India. Diljit Dosanjh, AP Dhillon, Coldplay, and Bryan Adams, among others, held their shows across the country.
