Colombian singer Shakira performs during her concert in Mumbai, India, Sunday, March 25, 2007.
Latin American multiple Grammy award singer Shakira arrived in Mumbai Saturday for her first hip-shaking Indian performance.
Shakira, who is on a world tour for her "Oral Fixation Vol. 2" album, performed some of her biggest hits including "Hips don't lie", "Don't bother" and "Illegal" at the concert Sunday night.
"I love India and its people. I have a lot of fans in India and love the culture and food," Shakira told reporters adding she was looking forward to her concert.
Best known for sensual belly dancing and her powerful voice, Shakira stayed in the presidential suite at a five-star hotel in Mumbai, media reports said.
The pop star will be pampered with her favourite exotic fruits -- papayas from Hawaii, peaches and prunes from Dubai and Australian berries, Mumbai's Mirror newspaper reported.
In the run-up to Shakira's arrival, local newspapers have carried many articles detailing how to learn the singer's dance moves.
Shakira, who won Grammy awards in 2001 and 2003, dominated the Latin Grammy awards last year, winning four trophies, including album of the year for "Fijacion Oral Vol. 1".

據報導，以性感的肚皮舞和頗具感染力的聲音而著名的夏奇拉在孟買的一家五星級酒店的總統套房下榻。
據孟買《鏡報》報導，這位流行天后將大啖其最喜愛的熱帶水果，其中包括夏威夷的木瓜、杜拜的桃子和李子以及澳洲漿果。
在夏奇拉抵達印度前夕，當地報紙刊載了很多詳細介紹如何學她跳舞動作的文章。
