The spoof included the incumbent president Donald Trump, president-elect Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, Senator Bernie Sanders, and the Canadian PM Justin Trudeau. From Diwali parties to Laddoos, the Shere's video had it all. Shere perfectly mimicked Donald Trump and other leaders starting a laugh riot on Twitter.

And let me tell you, I would be a tremendous Hindu ok, I would be a beautiful Hindu coz we had a Diwali party at the White House ok, and we had thousands and thousands of diyas ok, they call them diyas, so, ok or oil lamps. Not a lot of Hindu people know that but they are called oil lamps ok, not lot of people know that but we had thousands of these oil lamps, we set record number of diyas and you look at Kamala Harris, she says, 'Oh I am Indian, I am from south Asia', I mean her diyas were a mess. It was a total mess, it looked like it was made of straws ok. It was like a black hole, there was no light whatsoever."

His mimicry of Bernie Sanders said, "If you host Diwali party, there should be more than enough mithai, especially ladoos to serve all of the guests. I went to a party yesterday and all I got was a bag of raisins."
