Mera Bharat Mahan: John Abraham recites poem saluting coronavirus brave hearts

John Abraham has teamed up with Milap Milan Zaveri and Bhushan Kumar for Mera Bharat Mahan, an inspirational poem thanking the brave hearts battling the coronavirus pandemic.

Recited by John, the two-and-a-half minute poem salutes the unity and the efforts of the doctors, nurses, soldiers and policemen at the frontlines of the crisis. The video, which was shot completely at home following government guidelines, has clocked around 700k views on YouTube.

Milap, who has written and directed the video, shared, "I wrote the poem Mera Bharat Mahaan and conceptualised the video because I felt the entire country and the world needs a message of positivity, strength and hope. We are all sitting at home and doing our duty. But the warriors like doctors, police, workers of essential services are out there on the battlefield for us. I wanted to honour them and my country which is doing such a phenomenal job in battling this virus.”

Bhushan Kumar (of T-Series) added, "The country is fighting an invisible war at this point and this is just an ode to the indomitable human spirit that exists among Indians. It's this spirit that has united us against this common enemy.”
