Sajid opened the video by calling the occasion an “amazing day” and addressing his late brother directly.
“Today is an amazing day because it’s my brother’s birthday. Yes, it’s Wajid’s birthday. And Wajid, you must be seeing this from somewhere. Today, I am going to show you your favourite person whom you loved a lot, who loved both of you a lot. And you did so much work together,” Sajid said.
He then introduced Sunidhi Chauhan, who shared an emotional message for Wajid.
“You know I love you and I always will love you. And needless to say that you never leave my mind. He’s always there with us,” Chauhan said.
