Mumbai, Aug 27 (IANS): Actor Rajesh Kumar, who is seen in the family drama, 'Yeh Meri Family' has recited a heartfelt poetry during a recent open mic, appealing to the younger generation to revive the lost art of family bonding.

With heartfelt emotion, Rajesh shared a poignant poem, highlighting the preciousness of time with loved ones and the profound connection he shares with his mother.
