A viral video shows three singers, with a woman in the lead, dressed in formal black, singing some lines from the two songs, both made by the late Bappi Lahiri for the 1982 movie Disco Dancer, which shot lead actor Mithun Chakraborty to instant stardom.
As delegates from different countries danced to it — some even singing along — the moment ended up as a tribute to Bappi Lahiri, who died earlier this year, and a nod to Mithun Chakraborty's stardom.
