Singer Neeti Mohan on Tuesday enthralled Indians as she performed at the first-ever India House set up by Reliance Foundation for the Paris Olympics 2024.

After the performance, Mohan said, “It is the first time we have India House at the Olympics. It is beautiful. The energy is amazing. My heartiest congratulations to Mrs Nita Ambani for doing something incredible. She has made this along with Reliance Foundation.”

Mohan said, “The team has made a home away from home for all the athletes and all Indians coming here. While speaking some of the people attending the event, they said they come to hang here as they miss home. It’s nice to be here and feel India here.”

Among the numbers Mohan performed was a classical tarana (see video below).

In a post on Instagram, she wrote: “What an honor to have performed at The @indianolympichouse Paris. An unforgettable evening, a full house, the energy, the singing, dancing and making a mini India away from home #Gratitude.”

Each and every one of our athletes has shown that spirit in Paris. Today we celebrate all of you, the champions of Team India!”
