I think for me that was a really great moment and pride because he also sang it so clearly in our Hindi bhasha. I felt look at the impact, what is happening. He actually made me realise the kind of love that we as a nation our films are getting and the way people are watching it. I think dadaji's film was quiet old in the 50s."
