A fan of musician Kumar Sanu named Rakesh Balodiya made the unprecedented 1200-kilometer solo bicycle journey from Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, to Mumbai in order to meet his musical hero.
Rakesh remarked in an exclusive interview with ANI said, “I don’t have words to express myself right now. I started listening to Kumar Sanu’s songs when I was in class 12. I got my style of singing from him, I get so much love in my city because of his songs, otherwise, I don’t know what I would have been doing today. So that love only pulled me here. When I was starting out, my family and everyone else also supported me a lot because everyone in my city knows how much I love Sanu Da.”
Rakesh was warmly welcomed and given a hug by Kumar Sanu as soon as he arrived at his home. Additionally, Rakesh offered Sanu a bunch of flowers.
People all throughout the nation have taken notice of and been inspired by his extraordinary journey.
Kumar Sanu shared with ANI, “Fans love us so much, it feels so good. Rakesh came from so far specially to meet me after cycling 1200 km, that’s why I hugged him, it made me emotional. At first, I was very surprised that someone would come riding a bicycle from such a distance. So I was worried that anything happens on the way and today I am very relieved to see him. It feels very good.”
