Sixteen years after Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam set fingers snap ping and dandiya sticks rapping with “Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje“, the chartbuster continues to play during the nine days of navratri. Perhaps, hearing it again and enthused about returning to one of his favourite characters, Prem, Salman Khan insisted on kick-starting the promotions of his Diwali dhamaka, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, with a raas garba event in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

He was accompanied by his co-star Sonam Kapoor and appeared to be in high spirits as he started dancing, bringing back memories of his effortlessly executed moves with Aishwarya Rai over a decade ago.

Says a source close to the actor, “Salman hasn't danced the garba for years and it was his suggestion that they join the festivities before navratri wound to a close. The fact that he was there in his much-loved Prem avatar only added to the fun and jhatkas.“
