In a surprising turn of events, the social media sensation Chaahat Fateh Ali Khan’s chart-topping song “Akh Ladi Bado Badi” has vanished from YouTube. Last month, Khan unleashed the catchy tune on his official channel, sparking a wildfire of enthusiasm not only in Pakistan but also across the border in India.
Reports suggest that YouTube axed the track due to copyright entanglements, leaving fans perplexed and disappointed. Khan’s infectious melody not only dominated YouTube’s trending charts but also conquered platforms like TikTok and Instagram, amassing a staggering 27 million views.
Originally performed by the legendary Pakistani singer Malika Taranum Noorjehan for the 1973 film ‘Banarasee Thug,’ “Akh Ladi Bado Badi” found new life through Khan’s rendition, captivating a modern audience with its timeless charm.
In a cheeky response to the song’s meteoric success, Ali Zafar, another prominent figure in Pakistani music, took to social media with a sarcastic post after “Badu Badi” surpassed 19 million views within a month.
Despite this setback, Khan shows no signs of slowing down. With his debut in the upcoming film ‘Sabaq’ this Eid, and the recent release of his new track ‘Pao Pao’ in April, which has already garnered 3.2 million views, Khan continues to cement his status as a versatile entertainer.
Chaahat Fateh Ali Khan, a British Pakistani musician and former first-class cricketer, remains a force to be reckoned with in the world of music and entertainment.
