Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was recently awarded his second honorary doctorate from the University of Edinburgh -- and he decided to celebrate the occasion by doing what he does best. After a speech on life lessons based on his films, Khan enthralled the audience by shaking a leg to the blockbuster song "Lungi Dance" from his 2013 movie Chennai Express.

One of the most popular Indian actors, Khan has received numerous awards and honours, including India’s Padma Shri and France’s Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the Légion d'honneur. The song is a tribute to Indian superstar Rajinikanth and his legion of fans, while a lungi refers to a type of sarong worn in south Asia. You can watch the video of the original song here.
