WATCH: US envoy Eric Garcetti dances during Diwali celebrations

US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti has once again surprised everyone with his dance performance during Diwali celebrations at the US Embassy in Delhi.

Mr Garcetti, who has shown his Bollywood dance skills in the past, today danced to the popular song “Tauba Tauba” from the Vicky Kaushal starrer “Bad News”.

In a video shared by news agency ANI on X, the 53-year-old wore a brown kurta and a pair of shades while dancing to the hit song.

One user said, “Wow, her dancing skills are amazing.”

“Very good,” said another.

Early last year, Mr Garcetti danced to the hit song ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ during a Diwali celebration event at the US Embassy.

The original song, which released in 1998, featured Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora grooving on a train.

Since being appointed last year, Eric Garcetti has wholeheartedly immersed himself in Indian traditions and celebrated various festivals.

Joe Biden hosts Diwali event at White House

US President Joe Biden also hosted Diwali celebrations at the White House on Monday. The event was reportedly attended by over 600 eminent Indian Americans, including Congressmen, executives and corporate executives from across the country.

Indian-origin American astronaut Sunita Williams also participated in this, who is currently staying on the International Space Station.

Mr. Garcetti called it a “beautiful” Diwali celebration.

“As we celebrate the journey of light, we also honor the invaluable contributions of Indian Americans who have deepened the US-India bond. From New Delhi to DC, may the lights of Diwali illuminate every corner of the world and Spread the message of peace and prosperity,” he posted on X.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who is of Indian origin, and First Lady Dr Jill Biden could not attend the event as they were on campaign.
