Uzbek Children Welcome PM Modi With Dance On ‘Udi Jab-Jab Zulfein Teri’ At Tashkent; Heartwarming Video Goes Viral

Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a vibrant welcome from the Indian community during his visit to Tashkent, Uzbekistan. While the crowd chanted "Modi Modi," "Vande Mataram," and "Bharat Mata Ki Jai," a standout performance by young Uzbek children caught everyone's eye. In a viral video, a group of children danced energetically to the Bollywood classic "Udi Jab-Jab Zulfein Teri," wearing traditional Indian clothing.

Dressed in Indian attire, the youthful performers executed graceful Indian-style dance moves, blending Indian cinema and Uzbek hospitality beautifully. Prime Minister Modi appeared delighted watching the children's performance, closely observing and later interacting with them. Social media buzzed with praise for the children's enthusiasm and choice of song, which resonated well with viewers.

This cultural exchange was part of a broader reception organized by the Indian diaspora in Uzbekistan. Modi greeted the diaspora members, who welcomed him with patriotic slogans and cheers. Women from the Indian community added a personal touch by tying rakhi (a symbol of sisterly love) on Modi's wrist, commemorating Raksha Bandhan.

The warm welcome underscored the strong bond between India and Uzbekistan, with President Shavkat Mirziyoyev personally receiving Modi at the airport, enhancing the bilateral ties that have flourished over the past decade.
