Hrithik then shared how he feels that his grandfather died too young to even celebrate his success. “Celebrating my Daduji’s immortal legacy through one of my favourite songs by him ♥️ I celebrate this song even more because my Daduji never got to celebrate its success… he passed away soon after he recorded this brilliant track. He was 40 years old,” he wrote.
