After watching Ajay Devgn’s video about a soldier, actor Akshay Kumar became overwhelmed. Ajay is seen in the video reciting Manoj Muntashir’s poem Sipahi.
When Akshay initially saw the video, he was perplexed and assumed Ajay was also the author of the poem. “I’m not very expressive when it comes to emotions in real life. But this got me in tears. @ajaydevgn, I didn’t know you have a brilliant poet in you. Kis Kis baat pe dil jeetoge yaar (How often will you win our hearts),” he wrote in his tweet.
Later, he tweeted, “Just got to know that the words of the very moving poem are by the amazingly talented @manojmuntashir. Narrated by @ajaydevgn.”

Manoj replied, saying, “Whatever little talent I have will always remain grateful to you @akshaykumar sir, for letting me write for you time and again. I am glad #Sipahi is narrated so well by @ajaydevgn sir and is touching millions of hearts already. More power to our soldiers.”

Ajay recites from the perspective of a martyred soldier in the poem. From the afterlife, he sends messages to his family, younger brother, sister, and even his sweetheart, assuring them that the death of a martyr is the death he had always desired.
