In the course of the interview, the three-time Grammy Award winner revealed who is her favourite actor in the Hindi film industry, which is also called Bollywood.
Dua picked superstar Shah Rukh Khan as her favourite, recounting how she was "blown away" by the mashup of her song, Levitating, and a Hindi track, Woh Ladki Jo featuring the 59-year-old Indian actor and actress Twinkle Khanna.
A social media user had created the mashup which went viral on the internet.
The 'New Rules' singer said, "I was blown away when I first heard the mashup of Woh Ladki Jo and Levitating. It was amazing!"
She added, "I love Shah Rukh Khan!"
In 2024, Dua Lipa, who will perform in Mumbai on November 30, released her third studio album, Radical Optimism.
Five years ago, Dua Lipa had met Shah Rukh Khan when she visited India for a music festival. Dua had also shared a snap with SRK on her social media.
She wrote on X, "So fun hanging with @iamsrk today! Thank you for teaching me your Bollywood moves!!"
