In Three GIFs, Your Guide to The Ranveer-Farooq Dance-Off

An actor and a politician walked into the NDTV Indian of the Year awards on Tuesday. What happened next was far better than any 'walks into a bar' joke you've ever heard.

The now viral Bajirao dance-off between Ranveer Singh, 30, and Farooq Abdullah, 78, isn't going to be forgotten by anyone for a while. Mr Abdullah was presenting Ranveer with the award for Entertainer of the Year.

Farooq Abdullah matched Ranveer Peshwa move for Peshwa move:
