“Dilbar mere, kab tak mujhe aise hi tadpaoge?” croons the Australian High Commissioner to India Harinder Sidhu, in an impromptu jam session with musician Raghav Sachar.

A video shared by her on Twitter (above) shows her happily singing the classic song from the 1982 Bollywood film Satte Pe Satta.

Sidhu, who is of Indian origin, is a career diplomat who migrated as a child to Australia from Singapore along with her family.
