Rohan also introduced a group of children under treatment in his hospital through a video call. Responding to the request of the children, Kumar Sanu sang ‘Humko Sirf Tumse Pyar Hai’ for them.

He later trained in Hindustani Classical music with Guru Debendra Narayan Sathpathy and has also completed Sangeet Visharad in Vocal. “Music is a passion for me. I sing to small children in ward to ease their pain when I administer injections or insert needles to administer them saline or glucose,” he said.
