They blend culture and ice skating so well that it seems like our culture.. don't know if they won or not but they won my heart 💖💖
They won the silver medal at that Olympics. Imo they should have won the Rhythm Dance with this routine at those Games.
They won silver in Vancouver and then went to win gold in Sochi
They won silver medal
Wow! 2:53 this was the best part. They spin smoothly with the rhythm of Bollywood music. Genuinely, impressed me so well also the crowd was enjoyed watching this moment of these two figure skaters.
Best synchronization ever!
Can't we have more of this? People from different cultures dressing and appreciating other cultures without being called out for cultural appropriation? This is really pretty.
Faty j nooo this is based off south asian culture. if a white women were to wear traditional black hair or asian outfits she deserves to be told it’s cultural appropriation (i just used a white female as an example)
@@madisonmontgomery45 I'm not against people using asian outfits, since asians themselves do not care when it's done respectfully and not in a mocking way. I'm not even against white people using dreadlocks, etc, but we gotta admit white people look ridiculous doing it, while black people look gorgeous and powerful. It's a matter of respect and empathy, not opressor vs opressed.
Faty j 🙌🏼
@@palomaemanuella I'm south asian and agree. People should be able to wear cross-cultural outfits, while respecting the culture - rather than just wearing it for fads or Halloween parties. Charlie and Meryl did justice here!
Polina Tkachenko agreed and sorry my comment has a typo.
I'm glad people from India appreciate this and that they felt properly appreciated. I'm sure they had a lot of fun performing too, they did a great job.
Yeah........ it's absolutely right
Yep!
Yes sis 😊. We do appreciate them for their beautiful performance 😍
Thanks nd huge respect from India 🇮🇳❤️
Love from India. I wish , all your dreams comes true and you live a happy and healthy life along with you loved ones😀😀
The best part about this performance was that the few semi classical postures they did had perfect angles and hand gestures which is difficult to maintain with the high speed skating.
I'm an Indian and I just wanna thank them for representing our Indian culture beautifully. I'm really impressed by them. 😊

I remember watching this for the first time during the actual Olympics and it has lived rent free in my head ever since. I always come back for the music, it’s so unique and unlike any western music I’ve ever heard. The skating is amazing too, they’re both so skilled.

I got chills.....what a representation of indian culture .... And youtube thanks for the recommendation
I am Indian, and I love it when people appreciate my culture. This was very adorable to watch. Not folk music, however, this is mainstream Bollywood music.
@HARSH RAJ uh how?
You would be surprised how many people love and enjoy Indian music, traditional or mainstream all around the world!! Because it is unique and beautiful! Greetings from Germany 💖❤️💕🌹🌺
@@majatadic549 Love ❤ from India 🇮🇳
I think that it's a confusing thing about figure skating (even tho I'm not sure). The ISU, the organization that rules this sport, usually refers as "folk" to what is often known as "world music" that encapsulates folk but also everything that is more or less typical of one place. That season they had to choose for the original dance music that was folk or country, so they chose indian music and that's why they were labeled as indian folk even when it's just mainstream indian music
I love Bollywood Tunes I live to play it when I'm cleaning my hpuse
now this is called culture appreciation. this is so beautiful!
How exactly is this culture appreciation? This is them doing a performance on Bollywood music.. Leave it at that. There's no such thing as culture appreciation or misappropriation.
@@andypereira362 This is culture appreciation because they're not representing the culture as their own, but instead are introducing Bollywood art on a world stage. Culture Appropriation is to take aspects of another culture and to act like you invented it or take the spotlight off of actual people of that culture.
@@andypereira362 there definitely is something called cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. Google is free dodo brain.
@@andypereira362 .... you are very uneducated on this matter then. too many people just wears indian clothes and mock our culture and even our dance because they don't know anything about it.that is cultural appropriation. these people researched and did it gracefully. it is indeed cultural appreciation.
@@iruzoioiokim9806 not really
i've never seen ice skating before ever.. their legs and arms in sync and the smooth like butter movements were epic !! and on top of that, bollywood songs and indian dressup just made it perfect.

That's there passion and sports try passion you can do much better .
Because they are dancers
This is so utterly hard to do.... 😤
Bcoz they have practiced this art for years .
For those wondering , they got a silver medal. Well deserved !
Are u saying us indians or the dancers
@nasal spray keeps me alive lol 😂😂no worries olympics association is bigger than t series
People who say this is cultural appropriation are ignorant. They are honoring, respecting, and bringing awareness to other cultures in a tasteful way! The people I used to work with would turn their noses up at anything that wasn’t within their white standards which infuriated me. This could be a small stepping stone for acceptance.
Hmmm... Leave it to a couple of white Americans to show the world of cultural awareness.
Я боялась увидеть критику на тему культурной экспроприации , а нашла много добрых слов и поддержку от уважаемых индийцев ❤❤❤ номер и правда прекрасный, мне очень понравилось выступление ❤❤❤ всем мира и здоровья ❤

This was beautiful. Their performance was absolutely breathtaking. I'm glad to see that bollywood music is finally getting some acknowledgement and appreciation.
Being Indian feel so proud Where some people choose a classic English song,or ballad....they choose Indian song with Indian choreography which is already a tough job to do on ice.....they are really talented 🙏🙏
@@redmercury1159 oh no not at all..💞💞
It's called cultural exchange. I like English music, English instrumental music and other things too.
Hey, it's not really related but I just wanted to say that as a kid I loved Bollywood movies and traditional Indian dresses/songs, so I kinda grew up with it and I hope every Indian knows how much their culture is appreciated and loved!
If they are representing our culture so it's good if Indians are also performing ballet plsss dont speak like this
@@mishthikadwal38 I didn't said if Indians do ballet it's bad I just felt felt proud as they did Bollywood,,I myself m multicultural fan from British culture,to chinese to all different culture in world
Whoever did her makeup should receive a standing ovation too
only a woman can make this above comment LOL
I can't say for sure but I know in past interviews she has said she does her own makeup for competitions...it's her time to center her mind before getting on the ice. She said it took her a while to get comfortable doing it but after awhile she came to really love it.
@@Awall79 well with a face like hers to start with, makeup only adds.

Being Indian, all the steps from 2:55 gives me goosebumps. They performed so brilliantly, doesn't feel they belong from different culture. Ice Skating even more enhances the beauty of the dance.

This fusion was brilliant ! This kind of fusion shows the love and respect for other culture(s), though it's not folk music of india it's Bollywood music, I thank to Olympics to show this beautiful performance !
@Ashish yadav A foreigner skating to a Hindi song is cultural appropriation?
@Ashish yadav how does that even matter lol. They are there to compete. Why should they care about representing Indian culture?
@Ashish yadav it was cultural appreciation. Canada is a meltingpot. Meryl and Charlie represented that cultural diversity as there is a substantial group of Vancouver citizens of Indian descent. Their cultural background and it's origins are celebrated by two athletes of european descent. That is not appropriation(which is a real thing); it's appreciation.
@@roddo1955 as an Indian, I agree with roddo here. That was cultural appreciation at its purest. All the respect was paid to the culture, while making sure that the athletes enjoyed performing too. There's no better way to embrace Indian culture than that. And the term appropriation does exist, and us valid, but it is often taken off context and misunderstood.
roddo even though they're Americans.
A routine in which the arms are finally as busy as the legs. :)
OMG that is so true
Exactly..! 🙄😂😁
Ooh the song is from Devdas 😍. Love you SRK.. ♥. Proud to be an Indian ❤❤🇮🇳
Woahh how much they would have practiced to get this perfect dance ..even balancing is hard in skating they are dancing cultural dance 🔥🫡felt goosebumps

I’m Indian and I can say that they represented our culture wonderfully! It’s awesome to seen some appreciation for Indian culture from different countries! 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Edit: to everyone in the comment section saying this is cultural appropriation, I understand you but you also need to understand me. I’m an Indian immigrant who loved to England 3 years ago, in places like England or the US, cultural appropriation exists and can be seen as offensive. For people who come from other places like India, it’s seen as appreciation of culture and is something positive. That’s just how I see it but I understand people not seeing it like that. Edit 2: those telling me that this doesn’t represent my culture, please consider that in India, a lot of media looks like this (stereotypical Bollywood style) for me this reminded me of when I would visit the cinema with my friends and reminded me of things I’d watch back home. For me, this represents my culture’s media. That’s all. Also, not all Indian people may feel the same and that’s okay. 👍🏽☺️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴
I heard that Bollywood full of Nepotism and drug peddlers. My Indian friend told me.
@@indiantechsupport7109 YES IT IS! and I m being honest. 2000s generation ACTUALLY DID BOLLYWOOD dirty. 19s are known as THE GOLDEN ERA and has FOREVER GREEN SONGS so if you ever listen to the name Bollywood just remember current generation are making useless songs, NOT ALL but most.
