These are the kind of comments we have been receiving in the past two weeks for ‘Chintu Ka Birthday’. We want to thank everyone for all the love and positivity they have sent our way. On Father’s Day’ & ‘World Music Day’, we proudly presented a song that celebrates this unique ‘father-son story’.”

So, on this wonderful occasion, from Chintu’s family to yours, presenting the song.”
