Earlier in the day, US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti danced to the popular song "Tauba Tauba" during Diwali celebrations at the US Embassy in Delhi.

He performed Bhangra on stage to the hit song from the Vicky Kaushal-starrer movie Bad Newz. Garcetti wore a brown kurta, cool shades, a red dupatta, and taupe shoes to complete his festive look.

He shared his excitement by posting an image of the embassy adorned with golden lights for Diwali. "Our Embassy is lit up and we are all set for Diwali. How are you celebrating the Festival of Lights?" he asked.
