On Sunday, the Punjabi superstar took to his Instagram, and shared a video with Hollywood star Will Smith in which the two can be seen doing Bhangra. While Diljit wore a white kurta and turban, the Hollywood actor was seen in a blue sweatshirt and sweatpants.

The two had a blast doing the bhangra steps, and jamming on the song. Diljit wrote in the caption, "PANJABI Aa Gaye Oye. With One & Only LIVING LEGEND @willsmith It's Inspiring To Watch King Will Smith Doing BHANGRA & Enjoying PANJABI Dhol Beat (sic)".

Earlier, Will Smith had addressed his Chris Rock Oscars slapgate in his new album 'Based on a True Story'. The project's first track, 'Int. Barbershop -- Day', opens with the phrase, "Will Smith is canceled", reports 'Variety'.

The song, which features Smith's Fresh Prince collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff and B. Simone, sees differently-pitched voices trade rumors and opinions about the actor and rapper in a freestyle manner.

"Who the f*** Will Smith think he is?", one voice asks, to which another replies, "I ain't never going to forgive him for that shit he did".

As per 'Variety', Will Smith became embroiled in controversy after slapping Rock onstage during the 2022 Oscars telecast.

The comedian was presenting when he made a joke about Will Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Will Smith reacted by walking up on stage and slapping Rock across the face. When the actor returned to his seat, he shouted, "Keep my wife's name out of your f****** mouth".

Later on in the show, the actor returned to the stage to accept the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in 'King Richard'.

Meanwhile, Diljit earlier shared what a normal routine looks like when he becomes an "English Boi".

The actor-singer took to his Instagram recently, and shared a video documenting his day. The video started with Diljit cooking up a storm in the kitchen as he indulged in making food with a commentary running in the background. He was seen preparing an omelette and toasting the bread. He then drank a combination juice to gain some energy and lend a kickstart to the day.

OMG this collab is everything! 😍 Diljit bringing Punjabi culture to Hollywood in the best way possible. Will Smith looks like he's having so much fun learning Bhangra! #CulturalExchange

While I love seeing this cultural moment, I wish the article focused more on the dance itself rather than bringing up the Oscars incident again. That chapter should be left in the past.

Never heard of Bhangra before but this looks awesome! Might have to try learning some moves. Will seems like he's getting the hang of it pretty quick.

The contrast between Diljit's traditional kurta and Will's sweats is hilarious yet wholesome. Two legends from different worlds coming together through dance! More of this please 🙏

Interesting read, but the article jumps around too much between the dance video, the Oscars slap, and Diljit's cooking video. Could use better focus on the main story.

We welcome thoughtful discussions from our readers. Please keep comments respectful and on-topic.
