US envoy Garcetti dances to Hindi film song; the 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.

Sources said the video was shot during a Diwali party held at the US Embassy a few days ago.

In the video, Garcetti, wearing a caramel colored kurta paired with a white pajama and a maroon shade scarf thrown over her shoulders and wearing a pair of shoes, can be seen enjoying dancing to the tunes of the song ‘Tauba, Tauba’.

The song from the movie ‘Bad Newz’ released earlier this year has Punjabi lyrics.

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

The US ambassador’s ‘bhangra’ take on the song has also won praise from netizens.

“@USAmbIndia Lovely Sir..!! Happy to see the participation, I am sure it will take a high level IND-US relationship,” wrote user @utkarshrai_28.

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