Jimmy Fallon tries 'Bhangra' with Karan Aujla, fans say Punjabi cha gaye oye

Punjabi singer Karan Aujla teaches Jimmy Fallon bhangra dancing on The Tonight Show, with fans celebrating the cultural moment and new album P-Pop Culture.

"So I am going to teach you some bhangra today. - Karan Aujla"

Los Angeles, September 10

Punjabi singer Karan Aujla made sure to take 'desi vibes' to the world stage as he appeared on American television, where he taught Jimmy Fallon "bhangra" on The Tonight Show.

In the video shared by The Tonight Show on Wednesday, the singer, who recently released his new album P-Pop Culture, was seen greeting Jimmy with a hug before announcing, "So I am going to teach you some bhangra today." Jimmy, dressed in his usual suit, looked unsure and joked, "I am too stiff." But with Karan's help, he quickly loosened up and joined him in grooving to "Gabru" from the singer's latest album.

Karan wore a classic black kurta-pyjama with a sleeveless jacket for the show.

In no time, fans chimed in the comment section, calling it a proud day for Punjabi music and culture.

One fan wrote, "Making us all proud!! Super excited to watch this episode." Another added, "Punjabi cha gaye oye." Some even laughed at Jimmy's first clumsy steps, saying, "At least he tried; Americans look so funny doing bhangra."

Karan's appearance on Fallon comes just weeks after he dropped P-Pop Culture, his third studio album, which was released in Montreal during a sold-out concert.

Next, Aujla is set to perform at Rolling Loud India on November 23, 2025, in Navi Mumbai. The lineup also includes Don Toliver, Westside Gunn, Sambata, and more.

Jimmy's attempt was actually pretty decent for a first-timer! 😄 Most foreigners struggle with the shoulder movements, but he caught on quickly. Love seeing cultural exchange like this!

While it's great to see representation, I wish they'd explain the cultural significance of bhangra beyond just dance moves. It's not just entertainment - it's part of our harvest festival traditions.

As someone who's visited Punjab, this makes me so happy! The energy of bhangra is infectious. Jimmy looked like he was having a blast despite being "too stiff" as he said 😂

Can't wait for Rolling Loud India! The lineup looks amazing. So glad international artists are recognizing the Indian market and our incredible homegrown talent like Karan.
