Two weeks ago, the British royal family gathered at Westminster Abbey for the annual Commonwealth Day ceremony, led by King Charles and Queen Camilla. As they arrived, they were greeted with a surprising musical choice—Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Pipe Band, a Hindu Scottish pipe band, performed the iconic Bollywood song ”Dhoom Machale.” This unexpected fusion of cultures left many Indian viewers astonished.
Initially, the moment went largely unnoticed. However, it recently gained widespread attention after the band shared a video of the performance on Instagram, where it quickly went viral. Some viewers were skeptical about its authenticity, questioning whether the footage was real. However, BBC’s coverage of the event confirmed that the king and queen were indeed welcomed with the Bollywood track, erasing any doubts.
Social media erupted with humorous reactions, with many referencing Dhoom 2, where Hrithik Roshan’s character disguises himself as Queen Elizabeth for a daring heist. One Instagram user joked, “That’s clearly Hrithik Roshan disguised as Camilla,” while another quipped, “Looks like Dhoom 4 promotions happened there!”
Many also made lighthearted comments about the Kohinoor diamond, with one person writing, “Relax boys, it’s Hrithik gone to take the Kohinoor back.” Another user humorously added, “The bandmaster really outdid himself that day!”
