Will Smith was all smiles as he landed in India where he was seen for the first time since the infamous Oscars slap. 

Smith was pictured touching down in a private airport in Mumbai on Saturday where he was greeted by adoring fans who he took snaps with. Dressed casually in a white t-shirt, dark grey shorts over white compression tights and a pair of Nike sneakers, Smith looked relaxed and happy after landing in the South Asian country.

As staff helped him unload his things from his vehicle nearby fans excitedly screamed ‘Will, Will Smith!’ Smith then took a couple of selfies with security and turned to the fans yelling his name, giving them a wave while flashing a smile before continuing to take a few more selfies and entering a building where he gave someone a hug. 

Smith looked in high spirits as he waved to adoring fans calling out his name as he touched down in Mumbai on Saturday.

Smith took the time to chat to security members helping him as he exited his cars, taking multiple pictures.

After waving at fans and taking a few pictures, Smith entered the building where he greeted someone with a hug.

Smith is reportedly in India to meet spiritual leader Sadhguru, who Smith and his family met with back in 2020 in Los Angeles (pictured).

Smith said he was a huge fan of Sadhguru and had followed him since reading his book ‘Inner Engineering’ and wanted to introduce the guru to his family.

The yogi, 65, whose real name is Jaggi Vasudev and who owns an Ashram in India, started his own non-profit spiritual foundation and has more than three million followers on Twitter.

In a clip shared to Smith’s social media in 2020, Sadhguru is seen pulling up to the actor’s home on a motorcycle and chatting with him and his daughter Willow. Sadhguru tells the group: ‘In any area of life, those who are most successful are always the most miserable people because they get to the top of the world and the top of the world doesn’t feel like the top of the world.’

‘What happened yesterday they’re suffering today. Are you suffering life or your memory? You’re just suffering your memory,’ he tells an attentive Smith. ‘What may happen tomorrow you already suffer. You’re suffering your imagination!’

Following their meeting Willow Smith revealed that Sadghuru helped her through an ‘existential crisis,’ saying she was filled with ‘gratitude’ for this moment.

This is the first time Smith has been spotted in public nearly a month after slapping master of ceremony and comedian Chris Rock on live TV and in front of his co-stars after he n made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s buzzcut.

The slap divided Hollywood and the public, with some insisting he should be stripped of his Oscar and not be rewarded for violence while others said dismissed it and mocked it on social media.

Jada has been open in the past about her struggles with alopecia.

The 50-year-old actress released a written statement at the beginning of the first episode of season five her Facebook Watch series which released on Wednesday. It read: ‘Considering all that has happened in the last few weeks, the Smith family has been focusing on deep healing.’

‘Some of the discoveries around our healing will be shared at the table when the time calls. Until then…the table will continue offering itself to powerful, inspiring and healing testimonies like that of our incredibly impressive first guest.’ 

She previously shared an Instagram post that hinted at her approval of the incident. ‘This is a season for healing. And I’m here for it,’ she wrote.
