New Delhi: A very beautiful and cultural moment was witnessed amidst the busy political programs of the 18th BRICS Summit. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who arrived in India to participate in the conference, once again showed his deep love for the Hindi language and Bollywood music. During some moments of leisure in Delhi, he hummed with great enthusiasm the timeless song 'Khwab Ho Tum Ya Koi Haqiqat' from the famous 1965 film 'Teen Deviyan'. This video of him singing to the tune of an Indian pianist is becoming increasingly viral as soon as it surfaced on social media and people are praising his style.
PM Anwar Ibrahim hummed Kishore Kumar's song
It is considered special to sing a popular Hindi song by foreign head of state Anwar Ibrahim, a day before Hindi Diwas on 14th September.
He presented this evergreen song written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and sung by Kishore Kumar with sincerity, which is being seen as a respect for the language and culture of India.
Anwar Ibrahim is an old admirer of Kishore Da's songs.
Malaysian Prime Minister's love for Kishore Kumar's music is not new. He has declared himself a big fan of Kishore Da many times in public forums. Earlier, during his visit to India in the year 2024, he had surprised everyone by humming the lines of the same song during an interview.
Their love for this song again and again paints a very interesting and vibrant picture of the growing cultural ties between India and Malaysia. This proves that music and art are the most powerful medium to transcend borders and connect the hearts of two countries.
Bollywood connection of PM Modi's visit to Malaysia
This Bollywood love of Anwar Ibrahim has been discussed many times before. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Malaysia in February 2026, Anwar Ibrahim shared an official video montage related to that visit on his social media. The popular song 'Bole Chudiyan' from the famous film 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' was used in the background of that video. Now, in the midst of a prestigious international platform like BRICS, his musical style has once again refreshed the unique Bollywood connection between the two countries.
