15 Aug, 2014

Indian singer Kailash Kher has recently visited ‘Wagah Border’ to perform on the special occasion of Indian Independence day where he unintentionally crossed the Indo-Pak border.

According to Indian media reports, “When Kailash reached there with Indian IG-DIG and other officers, on finding out that Kailash Kher is at Wagah Border, Pakistan’s officers expressed the desire to meet him and reached their side of the border to do so. Kher went ahead to meet him, not realizing that he had crossed the border”.

“Later, Indian officers made him realize that he was on the other side of the border, the Pakistani officer gave it an okay and said ‘No problem, music knows no boundary’ and shook hands with the singer. The crowd from both the sides that had so gathered started cheering and applauding at this point, making the atmosphere jovial and amicable,” media reported.

Kher seemed over-whelmed with the generous gesture by Pakistani officer and said that they have released a new song along with Pakistani singer Rahet Fateh Ali Khan regarding Indo-Pak friendship.

After his show and the regular Retreat Parade, he visited the area behind the buildings of both the countries, where there is a stone mark and a thin chain for a boundary and people from both the sides can talk, click photos and even shake hands.
