"Tunak Tunak Tun" was first released in 1998, becoming a sensational hit for the Bhangra/Indi-Pop genre thanks to Mehndi's catchy music video. The music video, filmed for a whopping $610, has become famous meme on the Internet in the decades since its debut.
Now the global single Mehndy has secured a foothold in the Fortnite Hall of Fame as players will soon be able to purchase the "Tunak Tunak Tun" emote for a limited time.
Surprisingly, the demand for a Mehndy song to be placed in Fortnite has been around for quite some time.

The leak was initially spotted by the reputable @ralisdumb before exploding all over social media. However, Emote does not currently have a specific release date.
However, since the files are ready to be deployed into the game, it's likely that we'll be experiencing the "Tunak Tunak Tun" emote soon.
