Shah Rukh Khan’s songs from the 1990s and early 2000s are music that most of us grew up listening and dancing to. These tracks still have a strong emotional connection for us and make us feel really nostalgic. Nonetheless, we sometimes are unaware of the fact that several well-known Hindi songs from the time are just as popular internationally as they are in India. It is only via social media that we learn the popularity of Bollywood music extending far beyond the borders. Remember that video of the BTS lads dancing to Chunari Chunari and Pardesiya? This time, China has taken the lead in expressing its passion for Indian music.
The video depicts a girl singing the song in the middle of a busy roadway. With outstanding dancing moves, the audience is captivated by the performance, which draws cheers from them.
