In his opinion, Jitu and Kokila are the ‘salt and pepper of Planet Parle.’ He adds: “Two individuals I love to bits!”

Speaking about the song, Parle mentions:
“The lyrics are quite light, playful and funny. Not exactly the Adele type song!”

After this achievement, the show on BBC Asian Network is another huge step for Parle Patel and company.
