Filmmaker Farah Khan has recently attended a Diwali event in Canada and sent the fans into a frenzy by bringing a Bollywood touch to the country. The filmmaker delighted the audience after she pushed Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow to join her on stage. She not only made the Toronto Mayo join the dance floor but also made her dance to a popular song from the Shah Rukh Khan film 'Om Shanti Om'.

In the video, Farah is seen encouraging Olivia Chow to dance, even showing her the hook step, after which the mayor joins her on stage and grooves along.
The video from the Diwali celebration was shared on Instagram with the caption, “Only Farah Khan can get the Mayor of Toronto to groove Bollywood style. Such an iconic moment — Bollywood truly rules everywhere.”

However, Farah later re-posted the video to her Instagram Story, expressing her joy at the Diwali celebration and the joyful moments that occurred. She shared the video with the caption, “Not everyday you get to make a Mayor dance.”

Social media users were equally impressed and praised the fun and vibrant Bollywood twist Farah brought to the Diwali celebrations. “Noooo Olivia Chow danced? Never seen that,” one wrote, with another adding, “Our mayor loves dancing”.

Farah’s last film as a director was the 2014 Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer Happy New Year. She recently choreographed the song Ghafoor for Aryan Khan’s debut web series The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
