India women’s star Jemimah Rodrigues astonished fans with a rocking musical moment at the recent Reliance Foundation United in Triumph event in Mumbai, when she mesmerized the crowd with her performance of the uplifting anthem Aashayein, which is from the acclaimed 2005 sports movie Iqbal.

Iqbal depicts the tale of Shreyas Talpade, a deaf and mute youngster who overcomes enormous hurdles to follow his ambition of playing cricket for India, with the help of his coach, played by Naseeruddin Shah.  

The song "Aashayein," sung by the late KK, written by Irfan Siddique, and composed by the Salim-Sulaiman duo, has become a popular anthem of optimism and endurance.

Jemimah, famed for both her batting prowess and her musical talent, delivered an emotional performance at the Reliance event, accompanied by her proud parents, Ivan and Lavita Rodrigues. Her performance, which combined sport and singing, wowed onlookers and sparked social media celebrations.
