Twitter Overwhelmed As Deepika Padukone Introduces 'Naatu Naatu' At Oscars
The 95th Academy Awards ceremony kickstarted at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday. Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who is a presenter this year, graced the Oscars 2023 stage to announce the performance of RRR's 'Naatu Naatu' and even gave a special mention briefing the audience about the song amidst loud cheers. The song has been nominated in the 'Orginal Song' category this year.
She said, "An irresistibly catchy chorus, electrifying beats and killer dance moves to match have made this song a global sensation. It plays during a pivotal scene in 'RRR', a movie about the friendship between real-life Indian revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. In addition to being sung in Telugu and illustrating the film's anti-colonialist themes, it's also a total banger!"
She added, "It's earned millions of views on Youtube and Tik Tok. Has audiences dancing in movie theatres all around the world and is also the first song ever from Indian production to be nominated for an Oscar. Do you know Naatu? Because if you don't you're about to. From the film RRR this is Naatu Naatu." The performance was followed by a standing ovation.
Her speech is now going viral on social media and fans are left overwhelmed to see her on the Oscars stage. Many called it a ''proud moment'', while others commented how gracious she looks. One user wrote, ''Just see the grace, the poise, the elegance and the confidence to be at the world stage and do India proud...''

Having Deepika introduce the Naatu Naatu performance and then the song being sung in TELUGU is making me ugly cry. The amount of validation this gives me is absolutely everything. Do I wish all the performers were from India? Sure. But I will take what I can get. pic.twitter.com/4yvJBwVfDZ
