Star cricketer Virat Kohli has always been fond of hardcore Punjabi music, and has never shied away from expressing his love for the regional songs. Lately, he has also revealed Arijit Singh, the superstar Bollywood playback singer being one of his most-liked artists of all time. However, Virat’s current favourite chart buster is neither a Punjabi, nor an Arijit song.
Surprisingly, the song is none other than super popular melody by AR Rahman and Sid Sriram Tamil hit – Nee Singam Dhan. The song is from the movie Pathu Thala and released in April 2023. Virat has disclosed that he has been listening to the masterpiece on loop of late, which is slightly surprising because Tamil is a language that is not the mother tongue of the New Delhi-born.
“My favourite song? You will be shocked. (Plays the song on his phone and shows it to the camera) Nee Singam Dhan,” Virat said in a video posted by Royal Challengers Bengaluru on social media handles.
