Kailash Kher appeared on the stage singing his most famous song, Toota toota ek parinda, which propelled him in the list of favourite singers of the youth and the nation.

He then set the stage on fire with his hits - Allah Ke Bande, Teri Deewani, Bam Lahri. An interesting addition to his list of popular songs was the Swachh Bharat anthem. One of Prime Minister's Nau Ratan - the ambassadors of Swachh Bharat, Kher spoke about the importance of the privileged class lending a helping hand to educate the 'needy', those who may not be aware, educated.


He praised India Today Group for its Safaigiri initiative that was launched in 2015. "India Today has started a very noble campaign, which has the potential to change the face of the nation," Kher said while participating in the second edition of the Safaigiri awards function.

Mentioning some hilarious anecdotes, Kher said that at a concert in Ahmedabad, he found mounds of garbage outside the venue. The municipal corporation was on strike. "Germs and bacteria don't go on strike, find a substitute for those going on strike, make mitigation plans." Adding, "Common sense is lacking for developing a civic sense". He added, "Like Shah Jahan made the Taj Mahal, we need to, make a new palace, a clean one".

"No other country is like India. But, it's not about good qualities only, we have so many flaws also. We are very good on this planet earth. We are matchless in some aspects. But, there are others, who are better than us in other respects, likely cleanliness. We will do good to learn from others," the distinguished singer said.
