They did a fabulous job of interpreting the national anthem beautifully… The music lesson that I took with Kalinga Institute Odisha became a Guinness world record…. The national anthem was the first piece of music that I had learnt as a child. National Anthem is my favourite piece of music and that's why I keep making different versions of it."
