Soorma song Pardesiya: Diljit Dosanjh aka Sandeep Singh's journey to recovery is inspiring

New song from Diljit Dosanjh starrer 'Soorma' was released today. The song called 'Pardesiya' showcases the struggles and heartbreaking journey of recovery from paralysis of International Hockey player Sandeep Singh. Written by poet Gulzar, the song is sung by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

Here's our favourite stanza from the song - 

Zindagi se loota tha jo mila bhi nahi
Door se jo dekhe koyi gila bhi nahi
Chhod de akela mujhe meri tanhayi mein
Daag na aaye tujh par meri ruswayi mein

Tere bin jeena dhokha lagda ae, tere bin
Tere bin jeena aukha lagda ae, tere bin
Tere bin zindagi nu kivein manawan
Pardesiya ho pardesiya

The movie is an inspiring true story of human spirit, about a player, who made headlines for his miraculous comeback after an unfortunate accident. It is a lesser known fact that Sandeep has been hailed as one of the world's most dangerous drag-flickers of all time with drag speeds of over 145 km/hr which led to his nickname, 'Flicker Singh'.
