The soldiers were heard singing, “Parda parda haan parda pardah haan, apno se kaisa parda….Monika o my darling.”

The song is “Duniya Mein Logo Ko” from the 1972 movie ‘Apna Desh’ sung by Asha Bhosle. The movie featured Bollywood’s veteran superstar Rajesh Khanna.

The video went viral on all social media platforms. Netizens loved the zeal and energy of the young Indian soldiers who were enjoying themselves despite the cold in New Delhi. One of the netizens commented, “The lighter side of tough men!” while another one wrote, “This is simply mind freaking blowing buddy. What amazing energy levels these boys have.”

Here are some of the reactions:

Reportedly, homage will be paid to those security personnel who lost their lives in Jammu and Kashmir, before the beginning of the Parade. Also, for the first time, unprivileged people who don’t usually get to see January 26 Parade will be invited. Owing to the spread of Covid-19, no foreign chief guests from the Central Asian countries will be attending the parade.
