‘Krrish ka gaana sunega?’: Indian Army jawans march to Hrithik Roshan's ‘Dil Na Diya Dil Na Liya’ song at Republic Day 2026 rehearsals - Watch video

In an unexpected and delightful moment, Indian Army jawans grabbed online attention by marching flawlessly to the Bollywood track ‘Dil Na Diya Dil Na Liya’ from Hrithik Roshan’s 2013 film ‘Krrish 3’. The viral clip, filmed during Republic Day 2026 parade rehearsals in Delhi, highlights the soldiers’ impeccable coordination, with crisp steps, synchronized arm movements, and upright posture perfectly matching the rhythm of the song.

The phrase, 'Krrish ka sunega gaana?' (Will you listen to Krissh's song) became popular due to the viral ‘Le Beta’ meme created by a kid who sang this song. However, it became a meme again after the release of the army video and resonated with both meme-makers and Bollywood fans.

Netizens credit viral kid behind the ‘Le Beta’ meme

Several users pointed out that the song’s meme journey deserved acknowledgment. Some joked that the track had now “reached the army level,” while others insisted the viral kid whose voice popularised the meme version should get due credit for making the song a pop culture staple.

Precision drill meets Bollywood beats
