Overview
- During a playful interview segment, Mamdani took a Bollywood song quiz hosted by journalist Mehdi Hasan.
- He immediately identified 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' from Dil Se (1998), showing quick recall of the SRK classic.
- He failed to name 'It's the Time to Disco' from Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) and 'Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna' from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), according to the latest reports.
- At one point he acted out Shah Rukh Khan’s signature arms-out pose while trying to guess, adding to the clip’s levity.
- Indian outlets circulated the moment as a human-interest story and noted his election-night use of 'Dhoom Machale' as a sign of his Bollywood affinity, even as some early reports differed on one missed track.
