New Delhi: Kili Paul, the Tanzanian social media star known for his lip-syncing videos on Bollywood songs, has been honored by the High Commission of India in Tanzania.

In a post on Twitter on Monday, Indian High Commissioner to Tanzania, Binaya Pradhan, shared photographs from Paul’s recent visit to the Indian Embassy’s office.

”Today had a special visitor at the @IndiainTanzania; famous Tanzanian artist Kili Paul has won millions of hearts in India for his videos lip-syncing to popular Indian film songs #IndiaTanzania,” Pradhan tweeted.

Paul thanked the High Commissioner for the gesture as he wrote on his Instagram Stories, ”Thank you so much High Commissioner of India.”
