Acting
Vegas on his wish to work with Khan
While Vegas is popular as a DJ, he has also ventured into the acting world. He recently had his first lead role in the film H4Z4RD. Speaking to Hindustan Times, he spoke about his wish to appear in one of Khan's films.
"Since I am pretty close to Salman Khan, I hope one day, I can feature in one of his movies," said Vegas.
Music
'Open to collaborations with artists in Hindi music industry'
The duo isn't only a fan of lip-smacking Indian food but also of Indian music.
When asked if they were looking forward to a collaboration with artists from India, Vegas said, "We're always open to new collaborations with artists from all cultures. We know of AR Rahman (composer), Zakir Hussain (tabla legend), and Anoushka Shankar (sitar player)."
India visit
DVLM and their love for India
Those who follow the duo must be aware that they frequently travel to India for their gigs. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, their performances in India had taken a back seat.
"We typically visit every year, so this feels like an eternity since we last interacted with our Indian fans," they said while talking about how they feel upon returning to India.
