"This music video has proved my worst suspicions right; I'd always suspected that politicians and diplomats are actors, and now we have a documentary proof," lyricist Akhtar said.

The video has gone viral on social media and within 24 hours of its release it has got more than 2 lakh views on YouTube. The video also received response from people on Twitter.
