MUMBAI: One more time, the late, legendary Bappi Lahiri song is trending not in India but in China. They are showing their love for Bollywood movies. They've launched a unique style of protest on social media called "Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja" in Chinese, which means "Give Me Rice".
People featured in the video seem to have empty utensils to convey the message that there is a lack of food due to the lockdown in China. In India, this is one of the most popular songs, but now in China, it's a proud moment for India. The Jimmy Jimmy song was composed by Bappi Lahiri and starred veteran actor and dance icon Mithun Chakraborty. "Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja" is one of the most evergreen party songs that will never go out of trend.
The late legendary singer Bappi Lahiri's grandson Rego Lahiri says, "I'm so proud to be the grandson of Bappi Lahiri. He has not only made our country proud but also our film and music industry. Bappi Da is still alive amidst us always with his music and iconic songs."
