International pop star Rihanna may have come to Mumbai for business, but it was her playful embrace of Indian culture that truly won hearts online. During her recent visit to the city for the launch of Fenty Beauty, Rihanna was seen trying a few Bharatanatyam mudras in a light-hearted moment that has now gone viral across social media.

The video, shared by influencer Nejm, shows the global star taking a quick lesson in the classical Indian dance form. In the clip, Nejm demonstrates a few hand gestures, known as mudras, while also explaining how expressions are communicated through the eyes in Bharatanatyam. Rihanna appears curious and fully engaged, following the steps and attempting the expressions with enthusiasm.
