World Liver Day: Celebrating 'jigar', with Bollywood

Wednesday, April 19 is celebrated as World Liver Day and you can find several ways to protect your liver, symptoms to look out for.

Now, we all know laughter is life’s best medicine. So we decided to get a little quirky and select some of the best (popular) Hindi songs that have used the word ‘Jigar’—the Hindi word for liver.

Bollywood has mostly used the word in terms of love, heart and beloved. Jigar, which literally means liver, is also used for “close friend” in Urdu.
