<p>US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti has openly expressed his love for Indian traditions and Bollywood ever since he was appointed in March last year.

<p>A few days ago, Garcetti also celebrated Durga Puja at Delhi’s Chiitaranjan Park. He visited a pandal at CR Park and also tried the traditional Bengali dishes like fish curry, sweets, aloo-chicken biryani, fish curry, and jhaal muri. He even participated in the inconic Dhunuchi Naach, which showcased his interest in the Indian culture and traditions.</p>
<p>Last year, Garcetti had performed to the hit Bollywood song ‘Chhaiyya Chhaiya’ during the Diwali celebrations at the US embassy. The song featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora grooving on a moving train released in 1998, but remains a hit amongst Indians even now.</p>
