Talking about the fest, Malik said: “The entire world, including our country, is going through a very dark phase at this time.

I, along with various other performers, are coming together to cheer everyone up with our songs and also spread awareness about the current scenario. It is a great initiative and I’m glad to be a part of it.”

Explaining the thought behind the fest, Manish Chopra, Director and Head of Partnerships, Facebook India, said: “#LiveInYourLivingRoom is a great example of creativity and passion, and we are thrilled to partner with the Indian music community.”
