Riteish Deshmukh shares video of cops singing Happy Birthday for boy amid Coronavirus lockdown

Actor Riteish Deshmukh on Friday shared a heart-warming video of cops singing 'Happy Birthday' to a kid who is celebrating his birthday without friends due to the lockdown imposed to contain coronavirus cases.

The 41-year-old actor took to Instagram and shared a video from the USA where a kid is seen sitting alone in the gallery with his dad while a group of patrol cars appear on the road and his father says 'Hi' to the cops while one of the cops replies, "We know it's your birthday that you're spending it in quarantine," after which the cops start singing 'Happy Birthday' to the birthday boy in unison.

The birthday boy is seen highly elated on seeing the cops sing. His dad thank the cops who leave the place with wailing sirens.

The 'Housefull' actor wrote alongside the video, "What a good gesture. In the USA, a father called Police and told it was his son's birthday and no one came due to COVID-19. See the amazing response from Police!"
