Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS/WISHAVWARTA) Punjabi music sensation Karan Aujla turned dance coach for American comedian and host Jimmy Fallon, giving him a lively dose of bhangra moves.

In the clip, Fallon warmly greets Karan, saying, “I can’t believe this. How are you?” to which Karan replies, “Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. Good to see you.”
Fallon then thanks him for coming on the show, prompting Karan to compliment the host: “You’re looking good.” Fallon responds, “Look at you, you look fantastic. I wish I looked like this.”
