Sana Makbul and Karan Veer Mehra bring new life to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s classic ‘Kehna Galat Galat’ in the soulful voice of Jyoti Nooran

Mumbai, 2^nd October 2024: The magic of timeless music comes alive with the release of “Kehna Galat Galat,” a reimagined version of one of the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s most iconic masterpieces. This soulful rendition is crafted by the talented duo Javed-Mohsin and features the powerful vocals of Jyoti Nooran, known for her recent hit “Paon Ki Jutti.” Her passionate singing pays tribute to the original while adding a refreshing modern touch.

To complement the track, the beautifully shot music video stars Sana Makbul, winner of Bigg Boss OTT Season 3, and Karan Veer Mehra, champion of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. Set against the stunning backdrop of Udaipur, the video tells the story of a newly married wife, played by Sana, who struggles in a challenging relationship with her abusive husband, portrayed by Karan.

Talking about his latest project, the winner of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, Karan Veer Mehra, said, “Portraying a complex character like an abusive husband required me to tap into some intense emotions. It was a challenging role, because it’s of a chauvinistic man, a husband who fails to give even an iota of respect to his marriage and at every point reinforces the patriarchal mind frame that is still so prevalent in so many homes in our country. The actor in me jumped at the opportunity to play someone like that, and I had to dig deep within myself to portray this character convincingly. Add to this – the chance to work in a recreation of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan saab, rendered by the powerful vocals of Jyoti Nooran and to work alongside my good friend Sana Makbul- this is the kind of project I didn’t want to pass on. I hope our performances coupled with the absolutely stellar music leave a lasting impact on the audience”.

With modern music and thought-provoking lyrics by Kunaal Vermaa, this version of “Kehna Galat Galat” is poised to connect with audiences of all ages. It honours the essence of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s classic while promising to be one of the most memorable recreations in recent times.

Talking about Kehna Galat Galat, Sana Makbul shares, “Playing the role of a married woman trapped in an abusive relationship was both challenging and deeply moving. I hope this story resonates with viewers and sparks important conversations. This music video is more than just a visual experience; it’s a narrative that reflects real struggles of many women in our country – that never gets seen or heard. I am very happy that VYRL Originals considered me to be a part of this project that honours such an iconic song while addressing significant issues”.
