Pakistani singer and social media sensation, Chahat Fateh Ali Khan has released a new song ‘Toba Toba‘ which is supposedly a parody of the popular Indian Punjabi song “Tauba Tauba,” originally sung by Indian singer, Karan Aujla.
Following its release, the Indian singer couldn’t resist commenting on the song.
Taking to social media, he jokingly requested, “Uncle na karo please” (Uncle, Please don’t do this).
Karan Aujla’s original ‘Tauba Tauba’ was an instant hit with Vicky Kaushal’s dance performance for Bollywood movie, ‘Bad Newz,’ which also starred Ammy Virk and Triptii Dimri.
Chahat’s song ‘Toba Toba‘ which was released last week, already garnered more than 60,000 views.
His singing went extremely viral when his song ‘Bado Badi’ garnered millions of views on YouTube. However, it was removed due to copyright violations.
Blacklash faced by Chahat Fateh Ali Khan

“It hurts me to see the open disrespect for music. The exploitation of classic songs like this is unbearable for me,” added the actress.
In response to ongoing criticism from industry figures, Khan issued a stern warning, stating that if his detractors continued to speak out against him, he would take legal action.
Chahat also faced legal challeneges when he was served with a legal notice demanding Rs180 million in damages for allegedly defaming legendary musician Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
