Personalities like Rituparna Sengupta, Debleena Dutt, Sudiptaa Chakraborty, Tathaghata Mukherjee, Debesh Chattopadhyay, cricketer Sourashish Lahiri, a doctor from England, an ex-nurse and many others have sent me shots of them singing a line from my song, which I have compiled into a montage in the video. The song will release online in the next couple of days.”
