American YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed, who is in India currently to support India and Virat Kohli in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023, met with singer Daler Mehndi at his home. In videos he posted on YouTube, Speed met with the singer whom he knows as the “Tunak Tunak man”.
Speed has played the song ‘Tunak Tunak Tun’ many times in his online streams. The 18-year-old was very excited to meet Mehndi. Mehndi offered him ‘lassi’ (buttermilk) that Speed tried and said was “seriously good”. He said it has a very unique taste to it.

Then they went to the sound studio and danced to the iconic song. Speed said it was a dream come true to dance “tunak, tunak” with Mehndi. Mehndi also gave him a T-shirt, with the iconic words ‘Tunak Tunak’ that he wore.
“I don’t know why I’m having second hand embarrassment for both. It is hilarious,” a user commented. “Them needing translators despite being fluent in English is hilarious,” said another. “My man now only needs to meet virat kohli off his bucket list now,” said a third.
