Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Swades starring Shah Rukh Khan was a masterpiece. From its songs to evoking patriotism, this 2004 film has been unforgettable.
But looks like the movie is not just popular among us desis, recently US Navy sang AR Rahman’s soulful track Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera from this 2004 film at an event. A clip of this video was shared by Taranjit Singh Sandhu, Ambassador of India to the United States.
‘ये वो बंधन है जो कभी टूट नहीं सकता! This is a friendship bond that cannot be broken ever.’ 🇮🇳🇺🇸

This effort truly reflects the camaraderie shared by both nations, especially the two navies who have gone from strength to strength… and finally carrying out joint exercises in the BoB. Kudos. Jai hind
