The video shows one diplomat reciting Kabir’s “Kaal kare so aaj kar” doha and others sharing their own personal favourites such as “Saanch ko aanch kahaan”, “Koshish karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti” and “Jaisa des waisa bhes.”
Israeli embassy also posted a video of their diplomats delivering dialogues from top Bollywood films to make their love for Hindi language known.
The dialogues they shared include “Main apni favourite hoon” picturised on Kareena Kapoor in ‘Jab we met’; “Parampara, pratishtha aur anushaasan Israel embassy ke teen stambh hain”; “Ek chutki sindoor ki keemat tum kya jaano”; and “Devi Prasad ghar par hai?” picturised on Paresh Rawal in ‘Hera Pheri’.
