Two weeks ago, the British royal family assembled at Westminster Abbey for the annual Commonwealth Day ceremony, led by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
However, an unexpected musical selection stole the spotlight—Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa Pipe Band, a Hindu-Scottish pipe band, performed the Bollywood hit “Dhoom Machale.” This unique fusion of cultures took many Indian audiences by surprise.

Initially, the moment did not gain much attention. However, after the band uploaded a video of the performance on Instagram, it quickly went viral. Some users were skeptical, questioning the authenticity of the footage.
