The video, though undated, went viral on the internet, coinciding with the superstar’s 60th birthday on November 2, making it a fitting tribute to Bollywood’s 'King of Romance.'
In the video, several passengers can be seen enthusiastically singing the song during peak hours, with others joining in and smiling amid the chaos of the Mumbai local, often called the city’s lifeline.
