Ackermann, along with his team members, staged a flash mob near Red Fort and danced to 'Naatu Naatu'.

In a video, posted by Dr Philipp on Twitter, he is seen getting out of a rickshaw and speaking to a shopkeeper, "Is this India's world-famous (sweet)," he asks as he is handed a plate of jalebi and a baton, which has the South Korean flag and Naatu Naatu printed on it, according to news reports.

"Germans can't dance? Me & my Indo-German team celebrated #NaatuNaatu's victory at #Oscar95 in Old Delhi. Ok, far from perfect. But fun! Thanks, @rokEmbIndiafor inspiring us. Congratulations & welcome back @alwaysRamCharan and @RRRMovieteam! #embassychallange is open. Who's next?" Dr Ackermann wrote.

Another one wrote, "Haha.. this is lovely!!!"

Earlier, Korean Ambassador Chang Jae-bok also grooved to' Naatu Naatu' along with his staff.
