A decade has passed since its release, but Katrina Kaif’s ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ remains as iconic and addictive as ever. Even ‘Jumanji’ star Karen Gillan couldn’t resist herself. She posted a video on her TikTok account showing her grooving enthusiastically to the famous Bollywood hit. In the short clip, Gillan appears to be inside a vanity van, dressed in the costume of her character from the ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ franchise. As the music begins to play, the actor stands up and starts dancing energetically. She even mouths some of the lyrics while enjoying the upbeat rhythm.

KATSEYE

Back in December, girl group KATSEYE thrilled fans with a fun Bollywood-inspired show that went viral on social media. In the video Lara Raj, Sophia Laforteza, Yoonchae Jeung, and Megan Skiendiel were seen dancing with infectious energy to ‘Bole Chudiyan’ from Karan Johar’s 2000 blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, originally sung by Alka Yagnik.
