Shankar Mahadevan, sporting a blue kurta with matching trousers, was accompanied by Aamir Khan, who wore a blue kurta paired with black pants, and Farhan Akhtar, dressed in a beige printed kurta and pants.

The trio seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the moment, with Shankar urging the audience to join in the musical celebration. A video of the lively performance has been circulating widely on social media, quickly gaining popularity and captivating fans.

While many fans were delighted to see Aamir Khan join the impromptu performance of the iconic song from Dil Chahta Hai, others expressed disapproval, noting that Saif Ali Khan, who was also part of the film, is currently recovering from a recent attack. The actor is still being treated at Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital, which led to mixed reactions from those who felt it was inappropriate for the trio to celebrate without acknowledging Saif's difficult situation. Nonetheless, the event sparked much conversation on social media.
