In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak in the country, Akshay Kumar had shared another tribute on his social media sung by the original singer, B Praak contributing his vocals in a hard-hitting and moving number. The tribute song also shows various healthcare workers decked up in their protective gear heeding to the patients. Teri Mitti tribute song also showcased various snippets of the video which showed doctors being attacked on duty.
Have a look:
The emotionally impactful song has created ripples ever since it was ignored at a leading awards function earlier this year. However, it strikes a chord with frontline fighters whether it's in the war against COVID or the soldiers of the Indian Army at the national borders. The lyricist of this song, Manoj Muntashir, was recently left overwhelmed when he saw another video of the soldiers crooning his song.
He took to Twitter to share the video where a group of soldiers energetically sing the Kesari song during their bus journey. Manoj tweeted the lyrics of Lata Mangeshkar's iconic Aapki Nazaron Ne Samjha song, ‘Dil ki ye dhadkan theher ja, mil gayi manzil mujhe (I’ve reached my destination, heart, stop beating). He added that his words had reached the lips of soldiers and that there was nothing more for him to achieve.
