Karan Johar may have just scored the ultimate offer from none other than British Pakistani singer Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, who’s ready to star in Johar’s films for ‘free of charge’
This generous proposal followed Johar’s Instagram story where he shared Khan’s cover of ‘Tauba Tauba,’ calling it a “must-watch” with a heart emoji. The original song, a viral hit by Karan Aujla, featured in Johar’s production Bad Newz starring Vicky Kaushal.
Inspired, Khan created his own version titled ‘Toba Toba,’ with modified lyrics and a new melody. Even Aujla joined the fun, commenting, “Uncle na karo please [Uncle, please don’t],” to which Khan responded with good humor.
In a quirky twist, Khan’s ‘special message’ for Johar included a rendition of ‘Happy Birthday,’ though Johar’s actual birthday is May 25. Looks like Khan’s just very early for next year.
Khan couldn’t contain his joy, expressing admiration for Johar as a ‘producer, singer, actor, model… a kingmaker’ So thrilled by the acknowledgment, Khan shared he ‘could not sleep for three nights’ after Johar’s post.
Kashif Rana, better known as Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, is a multi-talented performer described in his YouTube bio as a “singer, musician, entertainer, actor, writer, and director.” Born in Sheikhupura in March 1965, he attended Government High School Sheikhupura and graduated from Government College University Lahore (GCUL). He later studied History at the University of the Punjab in Lahore before heading to London.
Chahat gained viral fame a few months ago for his cringeworthy remix of Badobadi, which quickly caught the attention of viewers. However, the song was eventually removed from YouTube, leaving him heartbroken but undeterred in his quest for entertainment.
