Falguni Pathak on if she will sue Neha Kakkar for remaking her song Maine Payal Hai Chhankai: ‘I wish I could but…’

Falguni Pathak said she wishes to take legal action against Neha Kakkar's O Sajna that is based on her hit song Maine Payal Hai Chhankai, but is unable to.

In a recent interview, Falguni Pathak spoke about Neha Kakkar's recreation of her hit song Maine Payal Hai Chhankai from the 90s. The veteran singer said neither the makers nor Neha tried to reach out to her before or after the release of the new song, O Sajna. Falguni also said she wished to take legal action against the Neha Kakkar song, but was unable to because she did not have the song rights.

Falguni Pathak is not happy with Neha's recreation of her iconic song Maine Payal Hai Chhankai. Recently, several fans criticised Neha for 'ruining' the original. Showing her disapproval of Neha’s version titled, O Sajna, Falguni had reshared some of the fans' posts on Instagram Stories.

Now, Falguni has opened up about the Neha Kakkar song in an interview. "I feel overwhelmed and touched on receiving so much love from all over for the song, so had to share their feelings,” the singer told Pinkvilla. When asked if she is planning on taking the legal route against song, she said, "I wish I could but the rights are not with me."

On Instagram, several fans had tagged both Neha and Falguni in their posts as they showed their dislike for the new song. Falguni had shared several of the posts on Instagram Stories, without writing or adding anything from her side. One of the posts she had shared, read, “Stop torturing us with your voice and with the remakes.” A fan also wrote they cringed ‘watching O Sajna by Neha Kakkar’.
