Fans of singers Neha Kakkar and Falguni Pathak are engaging in a war of words after the former released ‘O Sajna’, which has been called a remake of Pathak’s song ‘Maine Payal Hai Chhankai’. Kakkar faced social media backlash for the Navratri song released recently when fans of Pathak questioned her right to remake the iconic song from the 90s.

53-year-old singer Pathak also weighed in on the debate against Kakkar, at first on social media and then in interviews. On being asked about reacting on social media, Pathak told Hindustan Times, “What else could have I done? I could not take legal action." She added, “I was overwhelmed to see so many people write on social media that they love my music, and they didn’t like this (Kakkar’s) version." Falguni alleged that she wasn't approached by the makers of 'O Sajna', Kakkar's version of the song. Above: Falguni Pathak Image Credit: insta/falgunipathak12

Other celebrities also joined in on the ethical aspect of the remake. Singer Sona Mohapatra took to Twitter to urge decision makers in the Bollywood and music industry to take note of the controversy. She wrote, “I can only hope that the music labels & #Bollywood film producers killing the creative community & creators by commissioning short-cuts; remakes, remixes take note of the public backlash on the recent #FalguniPathak hit."
