What is really sweet about the video is that the boy remembers to first introduce himself before singing the song. He gives his introduction in fluent English and begins by greeting the audience with a ‘Namaste’. The boy tells his name and mentions that he studies in Class 5 and goes to a special school in Janjgir-Champa district.

The video was shared on 23 November and has received immense love and praises on the internet, gaining more than 60,000 views and a lot of love and appreciation so far.

Some people praised the boy for his talent and said that the video made them emotional.

Some users wrote that the child described his state in a beautiful way.

Others were appreciative of the boy’s talent and sent their blessings.

Some months ago, another boy from Chhattisgarh, Sahdev Dirdo went viral on social media for singing the song Bachpan Ka Pyaar. The boy was later felicitated by Baghel for his skills. The song had started a trend on social media with people posting videos with the song playin in the background.
