In October this year, Garcetti left everyone surprised when he performed at the Diwali celebrations held at the Delhi embassy. The US Ambassador danced to the popular Bollywood song 'tauba tauba' from a movie named Bad Newz starring Vicky Kaushal and Tripti Dimri.

Dressed in traditional Indian attire, Garcetti danced his heart out as he performed bhangra to the song during the celebrations.
