“Dear brothers and sisters, be proud that you are an Indian, it is a land of love, care and affection. So lovely the variety in languages, cultures, lifestyle… let us stand together to be good sons and daughters for our motherland in spite of the diversities,” reads the caption shared alongside the clip.

“Who would have thought that I would one day be a ‘FAN’ of a 4-year-old gifted girl?” wrote a YouTube user. “Love This From Mumbai. She is cute and well sung. Hope A.R Rahman notices and sings with this girl one day. I would like to watch them together on the same stage,” expressed another. Now, that is a performance we would love to see too.
