@iamsrk your parents are probably at the other end of the Burj Khalifa, holding up the lights, sky’s end ☺️🙏 Lost my mom early too so many of us out there, get it, when you talk about your parents. Lots of love and blessings to you, from children like you.

Some even claimed that the actor is “the first Indian” ever to be featured on the skyscraper. However, last month Mahatma Gandhi was featured on the building, to mark his 150th birthday. The illumination was accompanied by his favourite bhajan Vaishnava Jana To, playing in the background.

First person in the whole world to feature on the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa @mainhugyaani
