    “Thanks for sharing the video I shared a few days back. You say that these talented kids are from Bharat, a humble correction, these kids are in fact from Hunza, Pakistan. I am in touch with them and have sent them all the musical instruments they need,” Teri Soorat singer tweeted.

    Kher responded to Roy’s tweet and admitted he stands corrected.

    “Dear @ShehzadRoy ! I stand corrected my friend. I loved the video. Keep up the great work you are doing with these kids!! Love and prayers always!!”
