A memorable and light-hearted moment marked the closing ceremony of the 'Khasdar Krida Mahotsav' on Sunday, when renowned singer and Indian Idol fame Shanmukha Priya stepped off the stage and approached Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, who were seated among the audience, during her live concert.
Requesting the two leaders to sing, Shanmukha Priya handed them the microphone. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14dK5q9Jr7s/ Responding to her appeal, Chief Minister Fadnavis sang a few lines from the evergreen Bollywood hit "Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri Dekhi' and 'Sharabi Ye Dil Ho Gaya' while remaining seated in the audience. Gadkari followed with lines from the classic song 'Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli'. The spontaneous musical exchange drew loud cheers and applause from the packed auditorium, with both leaders singing from their seats rather than coming on stage. The unique interaction became one of the standout moments of the grand finale of the week-long Khasdar Krida Mahotsav in Nagpur. Pictures from the event were also shared on the official social media handle of Maharashtra CMO.
