CRPF officer crooning patriotic song leaves Anupam Kher overwhelmed; actor says, 'Salute'

The sacrifice of our armed forces in their service to the nation is immense. The personnel brave extreme weather conditions, stay away from their families, and  have to be alert and disciplined all the time as they protect the nation. The personnel often keep themselves motivated in such circumstances with songs of patriotism, and videos of the soldiers crooning songs from Hindi films often go viral.

Chodo Kal Ki Baatein is considered among the most iconic patriotic tracks of all time, and is a constant feature of every day of national importance. The song has been crooned by the legendary Mukesh and was composed by Usha Khanna for the 1960 film Hum Hindustani.

Meanwhile, Anupam Kher has been on a spree of appreciating music talents.
