Shah Rukh Khan on his favourite Dunki song

Sharing the song, Shah Rukh wrote, “I am sharing this song with you today which is close to my heart. Raju and Sonu seem to be my own people, and this song, composed by them, is also meant for those who are close to us. It has been made in the memories of our families, our land and the solace we find in the lap of our country. We all sometimes leave our homes, villages, city to make a life…but in our hearts, we always live in our homes…we live in the country. Mera favourite from Dunki….”

Aaj aise hi dil mein aaya yeh gaana toh aapke saath share kar raha hoon…
Raju aur Sonu naam se hi lagte hain ke apne hi koi honge. Aur yeh gaana joh dono ne banaya hai, yeh bhi apnon ka hai. Apne ghar waalon ki yaadon ka hai…apni mitti ka hai…apne desh ki baahon mein sukoon…
