The post encourages people to create their own birthday messages for Sunita Williams and share them using #HappyBirthdaySunita.
In a separate post on Saregama’s Instagram, veteran actor Jeetendra Kapoor, who originally starred in the music video for the song, is featured singing along as the track plays in the background. The post is captioned, “The OG Star from the movie Farz, Jeetendra wishing in his own unique style.”

Sunita Williams, currently aboard the International Space Station, is set to celebrate her 59th birthday tomorrow. She, along with Barry Wilmore, traveled to the ISS in June this year as part of Crew Flight Test (CFT), Boeing’s first-ever crewed mission of the Starliner capsule.
The mission was initially planned to last only a few days, but technical issues with the Boeing Starliner caused a delay in their return. The Starliner has since returned to Earth without a crew, while Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore are now expected to come back in February next year aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule.
