New Delhi: On the 21st anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, marked on July 26, many Bollywood celebrities including Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Anushka Sharma among others paid a tribute to the martyrs of the country.

The beautiful poem Sipahi was highly appreciated by his fans and industry colleagues. But among all, it was Khiladi Akshay Kumar’s comment that caught everyone’s attention.
He got so emotional listening to the poem that he mistakenly thought that it was composed by Ajay himself and shared the poem on his Twitter and wrote, “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?..”

Later, when Akki realized that the poem was not composed by Ajay but by Manoj Muntashir, he appreciated the latter in another post and corrected his mistake by writing, “Just got to know that the words of the very moving poem are by the amazingly talented @manojmuntashir Narrated by @ajaydevgn..”

Manoj was quick to respond and tweeted, “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.”
