Chinese PLA Soldier Sings Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Aankhein Khuli Ho Ya Ho Band’ Song With Indian Army Jawans Near LAC, Video Goes Viral

A video purportedly showing a soldier of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) singing the popular Bollywood track "Aankhein Khuli Ho Ya Ho Band" from Shah Rukh Khan's 2000 film "Mohabbatein" alongside Indian Army jawans near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) has gone viral on social media. The clip shows the Chinese soldier performing the song as Indian troops look on, smiling, clapping, and recording the moment on their phones. The video has drawn widespread attention online, with many users praising the light-hearted display of camaraderie between troops stationed along one of the world's most sensitive borders. However, the exact date, location, and circumstances of the interaction have not been verified by official military sources on either side.

What The Video Shows

In the clip circulating online, the Chinese soldier can be heard singing the well-known Hindi track in front of a group of Indian Army personnel. The jawans appear visibly amused and engaged, with several seen clapping along and filming the performance on their phones.

The song, composed for "Mohabbatein" and rendered by Udit Narayan and Anuradha Sriram, remains one of Bollywood's enduring hits and has previously found an unlikely fan base among Chinese singers and contestants on Chinese talent shows. Chinese Girl Sings Hindi Songs: Video of This Young Performer Crooning Popular Tracks From Shah Rukh Khan and Sidharth Malhotra’s Films Will Amaze Bollywood Lovers (Watch Video).

Other Clips From The Same Interaction

Alongside the singing video, additional clips said to be from the same border interaction have also been trending on social media. These show soldiers from both sides sharing content on their phones and, in some clips, chanting slogans together.

Taken together, the videos have been widely interpreted online as a rare glimpse of informal, friendly exchanges between troops posted along the LAC, a border that has otherwise been marked by periodic tension between the two countries in recent years. SRH's Sri Lanka Pacer Eshan Malinga Sings 'Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai' Song, Video Goes Viral.

Authenticity Remains Unconfirmed

Despite the video's rapid spread across platforms, neither the Indian Army nor Chinese military authorities have officially confirmed the date, location, or context of the interaction. No independent verification of the footage's origin was found in publicly available reporting at the time of publication.

Viral videos involving troops along the LAC have periodically surfaced in the past, ranging from light-hearted moments to disputed or contested clips, and are typically treated with caution until confirmed by defence sources.

Background

The LAC is the de facto border between India and China and has been a site of recurring friction, most notably during the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. Both militaries have since held multiple rounds of talks aimed at de-escalation and disengagement in various sectors.

Bollywood's cultural reach into China has been well documented over the years, with several Hindi film songs, including tracks from "Mohabbatein" and other Shah Rukh Khan films, previously going viral after being performed by Chinese singers and social media users.
