US envoy Garcetti dances to Hindi film song; Video goes viral

A video of US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti wearing a traditional Indian outfit and grooving to the beats of a Bollywood song with 'Bhangra' moves at a Diwali celebration at the embassy here has gone viral.

According to sources, the video was shot during a Diwali celebration at the US Embassy a few days ago.

In the video, Garcetti can be seen donning a caramel-colored kurta, white pajamas, a maroon shawl thrown over his shoulders and a pair of shoes as he enjoys dancing to the tunes of the song “Tauba, Tauba.”

The song from the film 'Bad Newz', released earlier this year, has Punjabi lyrics.

Garcetti danced with a group of embassy colleagues in front of the embassy's iconic building on the grounds, with decorative posters hanging on the wall behind them.

The US ambassador's 'Bhangra' moves on the song were also praised by netizens.

“@USAmbIndia Dear Sir!! I am happy to participate, I am sure India-US relations will remain at a high level,” wrote user @utkarshrai_28.

Many others described the video as “beautiful” and “nice,” while one user wrote “Fitness level 100.”
