A bedridden elderly man shared an emotional moment with his family members as they performed Bhangra steps to cheer him up. In a video shared on Twitter by IPS officer HGS Dhaliwal, the family is seen grooving to the peppy beats of 3 Peg by Punjabi singer Sharry Mann. As the camera pans to the left, we see an elderly man, appearing frail and sick, on a hospital bed.
The young and the old alike are seen dancing to cheer him up while the elderly man smiles and moves his hands to the beats of the song.
"Punjabi's undying spirit," Mr Dhaliwal's caption read.
