Bollywood classics ‘Sholay’ and ‘DDLJ’ find special mention in US President Donald Trump’s speech- watch video

US President Donald Trump has arrived in India for his two-day visit. Trump landed in Gujarat and was received by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While addressing a crowd in Motera Stadium at Ahmedabad, Trump spoke about various topics which also included Bollywood movies and Indian sports personalities.

The US President’s speech had a special mention of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'(DDLJ) and Amitabh Bachchan-Dharmendra starrer ‘Sholay’. As soon as Trump mentioned these movies, the crowd started cheering louder.

“All over the planet people take great joy in scenes of Bhangra and music, dance, romance and drama and classic Indian films like DDLJ and Sholay,” Trump said in his speech. He also mentioned cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli in his speech.

He further added, “India is a creative hub that creates over 2000 movies from Bollywood. India embraces liberty, rule of law and freedom. Even though there are so many communities and languages, you all unite as one great Indian nation.”

Bollywood films have always managed to find special mention in some of the world’s eminent leaders. Earlier when Barack Obama had visited India in 2015, he had casually dropped Shah Rukh’s iconic dialogue from DDLJ in his speech when he said, “Senorita, bade bade deshon mein… you know what I mean.”
