New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani let the world know that he is a certified Bollywood fan when he ended his victory event with the Bollywood number 'Dhoom Machale'. Recently, he participated in a light-hearted Bollywood song quiz hosted by British journalist Mehdi Hasan.
During the chat, Zohran was asked to recognize the Bollywood song from the music that was on for a few seconds. "Fox News would never do this to me,” Mamdani said. The host replied, “Fox News doesn't know what Bollywood is.”
The first song was 'Chaiyya Chaiyaa' from Shah Rukh Khan's 1998 film 'Dil Se', which Zohran recognized within the first few seconds. The second one was from another Shah Rukh film, 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', titled 'It's the Time to Disco'. Zohran failed to name it and said, "Should have had ‘call a friend’!
The third song, 'Bole Chudiyan' from the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', also made Zohran scratch his head. He could not name it. “I feel like Shah Rukh is moving in the song!” he said.
