Among the A-list guests and international entertainers, the two siblings came out for the now-iconic, Oscar-winning song, ‘Naatu Naatu’ from the film RRR.
They performed not for a slow, sentimental number but to the powerful and exuberant, Oscar-winning song, ‘Naatu Naatu’ from the film RRR. Their colorful and cheerful interpretation of the famous hook steps of the song went viral in an instant, demonstrating that true family celebration can easily overshadow even the most expertly planned routine. The moment was a superb amalgamation of Hollywood-style extravagance and real Indian wedding atmosphere and thus became the highlight of the multi-day event.

The pair’s energy and perfect coordination, even in their formal wear, were so contagious that the audience composed of stars apparently including Donald Trump Jr., Ranveer Singh, and Jennifer Lopez could not help but cheer.
Choosing ‘Naatu Naatu’ – a song that is known for its energizing and complex dance moves – was their way of showing a playful attitude and also being deeply connected to their traditions, which the wedding celebration’s rich environment could not contain. The clip that went viral was a reminder of the global power of dance as a medium for expressing joy and marking family milestones.
