The video, titled Happy Birthday Malala | Ye Malala Ke Baare Mein Hai, masala ke baare mein nahi! features Jackky accepting his mistake and teaching a group of children about Malala's contribution to children's education.
He is also seen explaining the difference between 'nobel' and 'noble' to the children in the six-minute video, which was shot with #fame, a live video entertainment platform.
On October 10, 2014, the day Yousafzai was presented with the Nobel Peace Prize, Jackky had shared on his Twitter page:
But he wasn't the only one who was under scrutiny for misspelling Malala's name, Naomi Campbell wrote 'malaria' instead of Malala in her tweet:
However Jackky made up for it in the birthday video. The Youngistaan actor, along with the children wish Malala a "Happy Birthday" and thank her for her contribution towards children's education rights and for her struggle for education and against extremism.
Twitter saw a tremendous response to the video:
@jackkybhagnani's Tribute video to Malala #respect #HappyBirthdayMalala World needs more people like you... GOD bless..

After his last Malala blunder, Jackky was thrilled by the love his video received:

But no one was more appreciative than Malala's father, who thanked the actor in his tweet:
@jackkybhagnani many thanks 4rm Malala & me 4 your support. It made our day! No present can be more precious than this, Malala is so happy!
— Ziauddin Yousafzai (@ZiauddinY) July 12, 2015
And Jackky's response was nothing less than ecstatic:
SO humbled and honoured that you noticed our small gesture of love for Malala! THANKYOU for making my day! https://t.co/ve0OWWzp8J
