Jimmy Fallon Learns To Groove To Bhangra Beats With Karan Aujla Netizens Cheer For 'Desi Drip'

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Punjabi singer Karan Aujla turned bhangra coach for Jimmy Fallon at The Tonight Show. The American comedian and host was seen grooving to bhangra beats with the singer on his latest and controversial song 'MF Gabru'.

In a BTS video shared on the show's official handle, Karan gives Jimmy a fun dance tutorial. Jimmy, who warmly greets Karan, is in for a surprise when the singer tells him he is going to teach him some basic bhangra steps.

A slightly hesitant Jimmy Fallon admitted that he was“not ready for this " because of his stiff body and limited dancing skills. However, a very encouraging Karan Aujla said,“It's easy,” and gave him a quick demo.

The two soon break into bhangra, with Fallon easing into the beats.

The makers of the show captioned the video:“Karan Aujla teaches Jimmy some bhangra! #KaranOnFallon #FallonTonight.”
