Karan Aujla Brings Bhangra to Jimmy Fallon’s 'Tonight Show'

Punjabi music sensation Karan Aujla made waves on international television with his uproarious appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In what turned out to be a cultural flair moment, Aujla taught the host some classic Bhangra moves.

The delightful clip, shared by the show’s official Instagram, opens with a warm exchange: Fallon greets Aujla with a hug, while Aujla, dressed in a sleek black kurta-pyjama and sleeveless jacket, responds confidently, “You’re looking good.” “Look at you, you look fantastic,” Fallon quips, before admitting, “I’m not ready for this.” Aujla reassures him, “It’s easy, it’s easy,” and soon the two are grooving to Aujla’s hit track Gabru.
