Bollywood is watched and loved not just in India, but in many Asian countries too and even Russia. They love the songs, dance sequences, emotions, actors and everything that is associated with the movies. And to see a foreign national singing from one of our iconic movies is truly a moment of pride. A video posted on Twitter by the Official spokesperson for Ministry of External Affairs, Raveesh Kumar shows EAM Sushma Swaraj with an Uzbek woman singing Ichak Dana Bichak Dana from the 1955 Bollywood movie Shree 420.

Salute to this Uzbek woman for her spirit as she hums the song 'Ichak Daana, Beechak Daana' from the classic Shri 420!" tweeted Raveesh Kumar. Swaraj can be seen standing next to the woman with her hands around her shoulder singing along.
