After war of words with Neha Kakkar, Falguni Pathak says songs can be recreated, but should be done well

After days of online tussle with Neha Kakkar, Falguni Pathak has now said that she is comfortable with her songs being recreated. Recently, Neha recreated Falguni's hit song ‘Maine Payal Hai Chhankai’, after which the latter expressed her disappointment and shared fans' posts on Instagram, which slammed Neha for ‘ruining’ the original song.

Now, in a new interview with Mirchi Plus, Falguni said she is fine if her songs get recreated, but mentioned that they should be done well and not spoilt.

‘Adapt karo lekin acchi tarike se karo. Remixes ban rahe hai aajkal aur acche bhi ban rahe hai jo humlog bhi stage pe gaate hai. Lekin usko acchi tarah se use karo na. Tum usko faltu kyu bana dete ho (Adapt but do it well. There are so many remixes being made well and even we sing it on stage. But do it well. Why do you spoil it)?,’ she said.

The veteran singer was asked if she had watched Neha's new version ‘O Sajna’, to which she responded that she did not, but added that it will be the 'first thing' she will do.

Talking about her song ‘Maine Payal Hai Chhankai’, Falguni said, ‘I think the song came out in 2000 and till date, it is really fresh. Even when I perform the song now, people give us the same reaction and love that they had on the first day. Usko recreate karo, usme alag rhythm do, make it modern lekin achi tarike se karo na. Uski jo beauty hai, jo simplicity hai usko mat touch karo (Do recreate it, give it a different rhythm, make it modern but do it well. Don't touch the beauty and simplicity of the song).’

In an earlier interview with Delhi Times, Falguni said that she was ‘almost about to puke’ when she first heard the remake.

'I got to know about the remixed version three-four days back. First reaction was not good. I was like, mujhe bas ulti aani baaki thi, aisa ho gaya tha,' she said.

Neha's song ‘O Sajna’, featured Priyank Sharma and Dhanashree Verma, was released recently.
