Neha Kakkar has been a target of music fans from across the nation for her recent remix of Falguni Pathak’s ‘Maine Payal Hai Chhankai’.
The Indian Idol alumni is known for remixing popular songs, especially from the 90s, for which she receives mixed reactions from fans.
Her recent cover of Falguni Pathak’s iconic song has not gone down well with fans at all. Netizens, particularly those who were raised in the early 2000’s, are criticizing her for ‘Ruining’ their favourite song from childhood.

The Dandiya queen also reacted to Neha’s song, while speaking with Pinkvilla she said that she desires to sue Neha Kakkar for ruining the song but she has not got the rights to do so. “I wish I could but the rights are not with me.” She told Pinkvilla.

Some songs are just not meant to be remade it seems. Neha Kakkar’s attempt of remixing a classic has totally backfired… again.
