An actor and a politician walked into the NDTV Indian of the Year awards on Tuesday. What happened next was far better than any 'walks into a bar' joke you've ever heard.
The now viral Bajirao dance-off between Ranveer Singh, 30, and Farooq Abdullah, 78, isn't going to be forgotten by anyone for a while. Mr Abdullah was presenting Ranveer with the award for Entertainer of the Year.
As social media glories in the completely unrehearsed and totally awesome jig, here's a deconstruction of the routine in GIFs.
There was
baaraat-style dancing, the song
Malhari from
Bajirao Mastani taking the place of band and
baajaa:
Farooq Abdullah matched Ranveer Peshwa move for Peshwa move:
John Travolta's
Pulp Fiction routine was given a Bollywood update:
That's a whole lot of killer moves. And almost 9 lakh Facebook views worth of infectious energy.
So how did Farooq Abdullah, practiced politician and
chhupa rustam dancer, do? The verdict from
Bajirao himself:
Damn, right he is. And so are you, Ranveer.
Care to disagree? No, we didn't think so.
