Telugu actor Allu Arjun was invited as the Grand Marshall at the 40th Annual India Day Parade in New York. During the event, the actor also met New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and uploaded several photos on social media.
Allu Arjun is shown getting the “Certificate of Recognition” from Mayor Eric Adams in photos he released, as well as the two enacting the actor’s trademark action from his 2021 film Pushpa: The Rise. The actor appears to be teaching the mayor the gesture by caressing his beard in one of the photographs.
The actor shared a photo of the certificate, which said, “The City of New York Certificate of Recognition.” “It was a pleasure meeting the Mayor of New York City. Very sportive gentleman. Thank you for the honors, Mr. Eric Adams. Thaggede Le,” Allu Arjun wrote on Twitter. The Federation of Indian Associations organized the Annual India Day Parade to commemorate 75 years of independent India.
