However, there was a celebrity whose arrival at Mumbai airport saw the maximum buzz and excitement. The man, who is considered as one of the greatest figures in sports entertainment, and his visit to India made every '90s kid emotional.

Minutes after John Cena's arrival in India, the official Instagram handle of WWE India shared a video of one of his entrances and wrote, "John Cena arriving at Ambani wedding like," atop it. The video also has a caption that reads, "But can you see him?" As soon as the video was published, a netizen commented, "Only Ambani's can see him," while another internet user penned, "But can you really SEE him?"
Well, for people who did not watch WWE back in the '90s and ‘2000s and cannot understand the reference behind John Cena's invisibililty, don't worry, we've got you covered. For the uninitiated, at the beginning of his career as a WWE wrestler, John Cena created the catchphrase 'You can't see me' while waving his hand in front of his face.
John Cena was once asked about his catchphrase, and he revealed that his moves are so fast that opponents will not be able to see them. However, later in his career, as John Cena became popular and started dominating the WWE, his catchphrase, "You can't see me," became one of the greatest memes in pop culture. People started making memes of John Cena being invisible, and while they were absolutely hilarious, it's fair to say that the memes helped him multiply his popularity across the globe.
John Cena wore a blue-hued sherwani at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding and broke the internet with his desi look. The WWE wrestler looked so happy while posing for the paparazzi and dancing to the tunes of the song, Bolo Ta Ra Ra, at Anant's baraat. However, the wrestler gave a twist to the bhangra as he was spotted doing his trademark ‘You Can’t See Me’ wave. The video instantly went viral on Instagram, as people couldn’t hold their emotions seeing their favourite wrestler and childhood hero dancing to a Punjabi song while wearing a sherwani.
