New Delhi:

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

Garcetti, who has also shown his Bollywood dancing skills in the past, today shook a leg to the popular song ‘Tauba Tauba’ from Vicky Kaushal starrer ‘Bad Newz’.

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.

“Wow, his dancing skills are amazing,” said one user.

“Too good,” said another.

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

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

Since his appointment last year, Eric Garcetti has immersed himself wholeheartedly in the Indian traditions and has celebrated various festivals.

Joe Biden hosts the Diwali event at the White House

US President Joe Biden also hosted a Diwali celebration at the White House on Monday. The event was reportedly attended by more than 600 prominent Indian Americans, including members of Congress, government officials and business leaders, from across the country.

It was also joined by Indian-origin American astronaut Sunita Williams, who is currently stuck on the International Space Station.

Garcetti called it a “beautiful” Diwali celebration.

“As we celebrate the journey of light, we also honor the invaluable contributions of Indian Americans who deepen the bond between the US and India. 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 wrote on X.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who is of Indian origin, and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was unable to attend the event as they were on the campaign trail.
