Obama's 'DDLJ' moment in India

New Delhi, Jan 27: Bollywood's impact was evident when US President Barack Obama made a reference to a memorable dialogue from iconic Hindi movie "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", during his address at the Siri Fort Auditorium here Tuesday. Obama said that on his visit to India in 2010, he had experienced some 'bhangra'. He also recounted dancing with some children in Mumbai, but this time, he said: "Unfortunately, we were not able to schedule any dancing on this visit." He then delivered Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue from the hit 1995 movie. "Senorita, bade bade deshon...You know what I mean," Obama said, leading the crowd in the packed Siri Fort Auditorium to break into loud cheers that kept the American president silent and smiling for 12 seconds during his speech. The audience largely comprised young people, students, NGOs and diplomats.
