In a touching display of camaraderie, Genelia D’Souza couldn’t hold back tears watching her ‘sons’ Ajai and Ivar shine in ‘Matribhumi’, the stirring anthem from Salman Khan’s ‘Battle of Galwan’. The children of TV stars Shabbir Ahluwalia and Kanchi Koal are stepping into Bollywood’s spotlight for the first time with Bhaijaan himself.

Taking to Instagram, Genelia gushed about the duo’s performance, crediting their parents for nurturing such talent. Kanchi had shared the video earlier that Monday, showcasing her boys alongside Salman and Chitrangda Singh in a sequence that tugs at heartstrings.

The track sets the emotional tone for the film, depicting a soldier’s family life amid the tensions of the Galwan conflict. Salman, as the army officer, shares natural chemistry with Chitrangda, while Ajai and Ivar bring authentic charm as their on-screen kids.

Republic Day added extra fervor when Salman posted a video of Ayat and Ahil joyfully reacting to the song. Spotting their best friends in the clip sent the little ones into raptures, a moment Arpita Khan proudly amplified online.

Salman’s message to his tiny patriots resonated deeply: love your motherland, Jai Hind. This personal touch elevates ‘Matribhumi’ beyond music, making it a symbol of unity and pride.

Helmed by Apurva Lakhia under Salman Khan Films, the movie honors real heroes. Genelia’s reaction highlights how ‘Battle of Galwan’ is already weaving real-life emotions into its storyline, promising audiences a powerful blend of action, drama, and heartfelt moments.
