While the Paris Olympics 2024 are underway, a viral video circulating and going viral is not from the Summer Games. Instead, it is from the World Aquatics Doha 2024 event, which took place earlier this year. The video shows the US artistic swimming team performing to the popular song "Taal Se Taal" by AR Rahman. The original song sung by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan features Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai, who dances brilliantly to the music.

The World Aquatics Championships 2024 took place in Doha from February 2 to 18, and several participants qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympics. On Sunday, a fan page published a video of a group of US swimmers performing underwater with incredible synchronization to the instrumental rendition of "Taal Se Taal." Since then, the video has been going viral on social media.

Sharing a screenshot from the performance, Bollywood film director Subhash Ghai wrote on X (previously Twitter), "RARELY IT HAPPENS WHEN A HINDI FILM THEME MUSIC LIKE TAAL’ BECOMES ICONIC (clapping hands emoji) (sic)."

He continued, "It was seen at World Aquatics DOHA 2024 which inspired the USA ARTISTIC SWIMMING TEAM to display their unique performance on the music of TAAL. I feel blessed... thank you all (heart and hug emoji) (sic)."

Taal, released in 1999, starred Aishwarya Rai, Akshaye Khanna, and Anil Kapoor. It also included Alok Nath, Mita Vashisht, and Amrish Puri. When it first came out, the picture was a huge success, winning numerous accolades.
