Anupam Kher has tweaked the yesteryear song Zara Si Aaht Hoti Hai to suit the era of the coronavirus pandemic that we are facing right now. He also posted a video of himself singing the tweaked version on his Facebook page. Reminding that people who took two doses of the vaccine are also getting infected again, Anupam Kher urged everyone to ‘mask up’.

In the video, Anupam sings, “Zara si kharkharahat hoti hai to dil sochta hai kahi ye wo to nahi, kahi ye wo to nahi (The slightest of scat in the throat makes me fear if I got it).” Sharing the video, Anupam wrote, “Even after two vaccinations!! #MaskUp #SafeDistance #MaskUpIndia #Omicron.” The song featured in Dharmendra and Balraj Sahni’s 1964 film Haqeeqat.  

The original lyrics were: “Zara si aahat aati hai, to dil sochta hai Kahin ye wo to nahi, kahin ye wo to nahi. (I hear the slightest of sound and think ‘is it him?’)” Lata Mangeshkar sang the song that was written by Kaifi Azmi.
