Salman also plugged in Judwaa 2 promotions with Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu giving us a sneak peek of the beautifully decorated house. They set the floor on fire with the viral Judwaa 2 tracks Tan Tana Tan Tan Tan Tara and Oonch Hai Building 2.0. Team Judwaa 2 also joined Salman on stage for a fun filled session - Varun even tried to claim a gift sent for Salman and posed as the show host in the superstar's absence.
