The Malaysian prime minister posts pictures and accompanying updates that include songs from Bollywood films, drawing online attention. After attending or referencing BRICS-related engagement, the prime minister’s social media content features the Hindi song “Dil Toh Pagal Hai,” associated with the Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor film of the same name.
In the coverage, outlets highlight that the choice of music becomes part of the story’s virality, with users sharing screenshots and discussing which tracks are included in the playlist. Some posts also reference other well-known Bollywood tracks, including “Chale Chalo,” as part of the entertainment framing. Across reports, the key point is the same: the prime minister’s public posts link political visibility with popular Hindi cinema songs, which then spreads through social media.
While the outlets focus mainly on the cultural aspect and how the playlist spreads, the factual core remains the use of “Dil Toh Pagal Hai” in the Malaysian prime minister’s post that is connected to a photo with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
