Ricky, in his post, wrote: " A few days ago, I conducted a 100-piece British orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to perform India’s National Anthem at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, London." "This is the largest orchestra ever to record India's national anthem and it is spectacular! The 'Jaya He' at the end gave me goosebumps. Felt great as an Indian composer," he said.

Meanwhile, Union Minister Anurag Thakur, while lauding the Indian music composer on X, wrote: "There was a time when the British prohibited and jailed any Indian who dared to sing national anthem and raise the national flag. As we enter the Amrit Kaal of Independence, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, a 100-piece British orchestra, performs our national anthem, which is conducted by an Indian, the immensely talented Ricky Kej ji. What a journey we have covered. This is a harbinger of the glory days that are in store for our nation."
