How often do you see political leaders dancing with their colleagues to the tunes of evergreen Bollywood songs leaving behind all their troubles? The video of former Jammu-Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah with Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh at a wedding ceremony in Chandigarh over the weekend has been widely shared on social media.

The two veteran politicians seemed to be enjoying themselves dancing to covers of ‘Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche‘ and ‘Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri Dekhi‘ both originally sung by Mohammed Rafi in the late 1960s and 70s.
The video was shared by Nasir Khuehami, a humanitarian and an activist on Twitter. “Punjab CM @capt_amarinder dancing with MP Farooq Abdullah at Gandaughter’s wedding. “Ajjkal Tere Mere Pyaar kei Charche hai,” he tweeted.
Congress leader Saral also shared the video. He said, “This video of @capt_amarinder & Farooq Abdullah proves that age is, indeed, just a number! @OmarAbdullah”
Seherinder Kaur, the granddaughter of Punjab CM Amarinder Singh got married Delhi-based businessman Aaditya Narang at the politician’s Siswan farmhouse in Chandigarh on Sunday (February 28).
