In a historic moment blending faith, art, and culture, actress and singer Iulia Vantur became the first Indian performer to sing a Bollywood track at the Vatican City. She delivered a soulful rendition of “Teri Meri Prem Kahani” — the beloved romantic number from Salman Khan’s 2011 film Bodyguard — before Pope Francis and an international gathering at Paul VI Hall.
The event was part of the 60th anniversary celebration of the Nostra Aetate declaration, an occasion that promotes interfaith understanding and global cultural harmony. Vantur’s performance of the song, originally composed by Himesh Reshammiya, marked a defining moment where Indian music met a global spiritual platform. – Iulia Vantur Creates History by Singing Salman Khan Teri Meri
Reflecting on the unforgettable experience, Vantur shared,
“Meeting the Pope was beyond anything I could have imagined. His warmth and kindness radiated peace. It reminded me that faith, at its core, is about compassion, humility, and love.”
She further added,
“Singing Teri Meri at the Vatican wasn’t just a performance — it was a prayer through melody. Bringing an Indian song to such a sacred place felt surreal. It proved that music truly knows no boundaries — it speaks the universal language of love.”
