In a moment that brought a burst of unexpected joy to London’s Underground, a man was recently spotted grooving to a Punjabi track Mundian to Bach Ke by Panjabi MC, using a portable speaker, while gliding down an escalator. The upbeat scene, captured on video and shared by Instagram user @daweed.zet, has since taken over social media.
With vibrant Punjabi beats filling the air, the man broke into a dance, too. Commuters were caught off guard, some watched from other escalators, others smiled, whistled, and pulled out their phones to record the impromptu performance.
The video’s caption said: “Indian people are so happy.”
In the comments section, users couldn’t get enough of it. One person wrote, “Banger banger banger!” while another demanded, “Bring it on again!” A third person commented, “Chakde Mitra (Let’s go, buddies).”

This isn’t the only time Indian culture has lit up international locations recently. In Paris, a group of Indian tourists turned the Eiffel Tower plaza into a mini Bollywood set, singing the romantic classic Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein. The harmonies floated through the air, drawing smiles, applause, and a few swaying heads from onlookers.
Meanwhile, in Oxford, another group made waves online with a desi-style dance video filmed across the university’s historic campus.
Shared by @druvphk, the clip featured the crew dancing to Desi Boyz in stylish fits, striking poses in gardens, stately halls, and along the cobbled streets of Lady Margaret Hall and beyond.
