people made fun of it
Just like people loved to make fun of Chahat's singing, some of her other songs also went viral. However, after a copyright infringement complaint was filed on YouTube, this song has been taken down. A report in 'Deccan Herald' suggests that the copyright strike happened because the lyrics of the song were similar to Noor Jehan's song from the 1973 film 'Banarasi Thug'. It was viewed over 128 million times on YouTube in a month.

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan rose to fame during the lockdown, but in the last two months, his popularity on social media has reached its peak and thousands of viral reels and memes have been created on his songs. His newfound fame has recently led to him being invited for several interviews and podcasts in Pakistan.
Chahat Fateh Ali Khan was a cricketer
Interestingly, Chahat started his career as a cricketer before turning to singing. He was known as Kashif Rana in his childhood and played for Lahore. He took part in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in 1983-84 in which he scored 16 runs. Later, he moved to the UK for better opportunities and played club cricket for 12 years. In an interview with Murtaza Ali Shah last year, he revealed that former Pakistani Test cricketer Aaqib Javed used to play under his captaincy.
