 Tennis great Roger Federer is making the most of his time in India. FedEx, here as part of the ongoing International Premier Tennis League tournament, served an ace of a very different sort at an after-match party in New Delhi - dancing to the tunes of Khaike Paan Banaraswala from Big B's 1978 movie Don.

It took three to tango, in this case. FedEx's dance partners were the original Don, Amitabh Bachchan himself, and actress Deepika Padukone who had joined Federer and fellow tennis star Novak Djokovic on court for a celebrity mixed doubles friendly.

The 17-time Grand Slam winner, who is on his maiden trip to India, was soon joined by Boris Becker and Pete Sampras.

Federer, who had earlier mentioned his desire to have a good Indian meal, got a taste of India when he feasted on a giant-sized naan at the Bukhara, a famous ITC Maurya restaurant which has hosted several world leaders. The tennis ace also ordered Murgh Malai Kabab, Seekh Kabab, Tandoori Gobhi, Tandoori Aloo, Dal Bukhara, and Naan Bukhari along with Kulfi, Phirni, Gulab Jamun for dessert. He was accompanied by the Bollywood stars as well as IPTL founder Mahesh Bhupathi and his wife Lara Dutta.
