Speaking on the same Tiger said, “Children are our future and it was so inspiring to get to know and perform with the 6-Pack Band. I love how each one of them takes each day as it comes with a smile. I think all of us can learn how to be more patient, understanding and accepting of all our differences and make this world a more inclusive place. I’m grateful to have been part of this for it has certainly taught me to value life a little more!”

The song is a thumping new Bhangra Pop track titled, ‘Dimaag Ke Taale Tod Na’ that’s sung by the band, also features Mika Singh and has been composed by Shameer Tandon with lyrics by Kumaar. It urges people to open their minds against biases, prejudice and accept people irrespective of their differences.

The video is directed by Y-Films’ Sakshi Gurnani, and the project is conceived & produced by Ashish Patil, Head of Y-Films curated by Shameer Tandon. The 6-Pack Band is here to show the world that no disability can hold you back if given the right kind of love & support.
