Entire North India is singing this Kumauni song
Around five months before I first heard this song. We (my wife and myself) were going to Lansdowne. On our way to Lansdowne, we got down at Kotdwar and at the Kotdwar bus stand, in a very early misty morning, we were having tea in a big restaurant. In that restaurant, we heard the song for the first time and enjoyed the dance accompanying the song in the television kept in that restaurant.When I first heard that song, I instantly liked the catchy and peppy tune. I asked the owner of the shop about the song. He informed me that that was a recently-released Kumauni video song sung by Inder Arya and Geeta Bagdwal. I told my wife that this song would be very popular. My wife expressed strong reservation and opined that being a Kumauni song, it would not be so popular.
But now, I am proved correct. This song has spread like wildfire all over north India. Wherever I go, I can hear this song. My daughter sings this song. Her best friend, who is a Jat girl, listens to this song. I have seen many short videos where beautiful girls dance when this particular song is played in the background.
Last month, I went to attend a marriage of a distant relative. There, on the dance floor, I saw dhoti-clad young Bengali men and lehenga-clad young Marwari women were dancing to the tune of this Kumauni song.
Readers! Have you listened to the extremely popular Kumauni song, 'Gulabi Sharara'? Have you enjoyed the song?
