New Delhi: Where socialites are busy expressing their varied views on ‘Intolerant India,’ there A.R. Rehman, who is a true peace-maker, has created a mesmerizing rendition of ‘ Hum Ko Man Ki Shakti Dena’ as a tribute to 26/11 Mumbai massacre’s victims.
The Oscar-winning composer took to his Facebook page to share the music with his fans, where he can heard singing the beautiful rendition of the classic song, and wrote, “In 2008, humanity was tried, tested and annihilated.
