Deepika Padukone is turning up the charm on the West. After her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the actress appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden, with Vin Diesel in tow, and had a gala time by the looks of it. 

Accompanied by Vin Diesel to promote their new movie, xXx: Return Of Xander Cage, Padukone charmed the audience with her style and grace. In addition, she taught host and comedian James Corden some serious dance moves, including her now famous Lungi Dance routine. 

Padukone had taught the routine to Diesel when he arrived in India for the promotions of the film, and the craze hasn't died down it seems. Having heard about the step, Corden asked Padukone to choreograph a routine for himself and Diesel, and Padukone stepped up to the challenge. 

As game as he was, there are few sights as funny as watching Corden pull off typical Indian dance moves. While she looked a little nervous on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Padukone looked quite comfortable and relaxed on her second outing on a late night chat show. Having Diesel for company does seem to have helped, as she matched Corden in pulling Diesel's leg for fun. 

The actress also revealed that Diesel actually thought it was a 'traditional Indian dance' when he was told about it. "Now she tells me," sighed Diesel at that. 

Padukone might have arrived on the scene in Priyanka Chopra's trail, but she is certainly making the right moves.
