Neha Kakkar's new song 'O Sajna' has been in the headlines over the last few days. It is a remake of Falguni Pathak’s iconic 1999 song 'Maine Payal Hai Chhankai' and the viewers have been criticising Neha and team for ruining the classic.
In a recent Interview, Falguni Pathak said that the the original song's innocence has been ruined and she was ‘almost about to puke’ when she first heard the remake.
Speaking with Delhi Times, Falguni Pathak said, 'I got to know about the remixed version three-four days back. First reaction was not good. I was like, mujhe bas ulti aani baaki thi, aisa ho gaya tha.'
She added, 'Video aur picturisation mein jo innocence thi, uska pura satyanash kiya hai iss gaane mein (The video and picturisation had such innocence but they have ruined it). Remixes are happening but do it in a decent way. If you want to reach out to the younger generation, change the rhythm of the song, but don’t make it cheap. Don’t change the originality of the song. I don’t think I need to do anything; my fans are taking action against the song. I am just sharing the stories. Why should I keep quiet when they are supporting me, main kaise chup baithun.'
In an earlier interview with Pinkvilla, Falguni had said that she would have taken legal action against Neha but she can't do that as the song's rights are not with her.
Meanwhile, Neha Kakkar also shared a series of posts on Instagram addressing the criticism. She said she felt ‘sorry' for people unhappy with her happiness and that she was ‘too blessed to have bad days’.
