New Delhi: Russians have always been big fans of Indian cinema and songs. The late Raj Kapoor was their favourite Indian hero and there was a time that most Russians could sing ‘Awara Hoon’ and ‘Mera Joota Hai Japani’. Many years later, Mithun Chakraborty enjoyed a big fan base in Russia. The love for Hindi songs continues.
Today, on the occasion of India’s 75th Republic Day, the Russian Embassy in New Delhi conveyed their wishes in a unique way: a song and dance routine featuring a hit song from Sunny Deol’s Bollywood film, ‘Gadar‘.
A video shared through the embassy’s social media handles features staff workers, children, and professional dancers shaking a leg to the song while holding placards wishing India a happy Republic Day.
Happy Republic Day, India! From Russia with love,” the Russian embassy wrote on social media.
In his message Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov wrote “Warmest congratulations on the #RepublicDay, India! Wishing our Indian friends prosperity, well-being and very bright #AmritKaal! Long live #Bharat! Long live Rusi-Bharatiya Dosti!”
