Ayushmann Khurrana, who is also a popular singer, jammed with his guitarist and recorded this melodic mash-up. He took to Instagram to post this video and captioned the same saying, “Ayushmann captioned it saying, Happy Birthday, Kishore Da! Your legacy lives on <3” and also added ‘folded hands’ emoji.

In the past, Ayushmann had also credited Kishore Da for being his inspiration to take up Pooja’s role in Dream Girl 2. The actor–artiste had previously said “When you look back to his film Half Ticket, in the song ‘Aake Seedhi Lagi Dil Pe’ - he sang in both male and female voices! Not many know this but the fact that he could pull it off with ease, made me confident that I could do Dream Girl. I drew courage from this because I had a reference point in Kishore Kumar, who pulled it off! He was always the one to experiment and take risks. His versatility and genius is a huge motivator and he has set such high standards for all of us to live up to. Whenever I face a creative block, I think of Kishore sir and I snap out of my life state. That’s how deep an impact Kishore Kumar has had on my life.”
