Malaysian PM hits a Kishore Kumar note at BRICS
India, Sept. 14 -- Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, 79, brought a Bollywood moment to the 18th BRICS Summit in Delhi on Saturday. At Prime Minister Narendra Modi's gala dinner at Bharat Mandapam, he took the mic to sing Kishore Kumar's Khwab Ho Tum Ya Koi Haqeeqat from the 1965 film Teen Devian, accompanied by a pianist. Anwar later shared the performance on X, where it drew enthusiastic reactions. "Music that brings hearts together without borders," one user wrote; another called it a "beautiful moment", while a third praised him for singing an "evergreen song" by Kishore Kumar.
Anwar's love for Indian music is not new. During his 2024 India visit, he had sung the same song, while in February this year, he shared a video from Modi's Malaysia visit set to Bole Chudiyan from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001).
