Dipali Goenka, the 50-year-old CEO & Joint Managing Director of Welspun India, has taken a bold step to dance in the office on Wednesday (19).

Goenka shook her leg to the remixed version of the song 'Muqabla' from the recently released Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer Street Dancer 3D.

During her 45 seconds-long performance, fellow employees can be seen joining her and imitating her dance steps.

Dipali later shared the video on Twitter by tagging prominent entrepreneurs Anand Mahindra, Gautam Adani and Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, with a comment: “This is my #WorkPlaceHappy. What’s yours?"

Her post caught the immediate attention of many on social media.
