Jermaine Jackson, the brother of deceased pop star Michael Jackson had a full trip to India, visiting monuments, savoring Indian cuisine and partying with Shah Rukh Khan.

He particularly treasures meeting Shah Rukh Khan, who he says reminds him of Michael Jackson . “I think he (Shahrukh Khan) is simply great. Someone who has so much success and still is so humble. He reminds me of my brother Michael. He is so kind and so nice. He deserves everything in the world”, remarked Jermaine.

While it is wife Halima Rashid who has influenced the singer-performer in watching Bollywood movies , Jermaine reveals his favourite is Devdas. “I loved Devdas and I loved the house shown in the movie. I thought it actually existed and
enquired about it too. Then I was told that it was actually a built-up set,” he laughs.

Unlike a lot of westerners who end up choking on spicy food of the subcontinent, Jermaine seems to be an exception. “The way Indians cook has a lot of similarity with the way we cook. That’s the reason black Americans always frequent the Indian restaurants which are in plenty in the States. I love the spicy food here, especially the samosas, naan and mango chutney,” ends Jermaine who had come to India for his video Let’s Go to Mumbai City.
