Since the release of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s Besharam Rang, the song has been embroiled in controversies. From politicians expressing objection to Deepika Padukone’s saffron monokini to the choreography of the dance being termed vulgar, a lot has been said about the song.

Recently, the Pakistani singer took to his Instagram and shared a video in which he is crooning his song Ab Ke Hum Bichare. In the video, the singer says, “I was listening to music on YouTube from some new films. I was reminded of one of my old songs from 25-26 years ago. Let me sing it for you.”

From being shocked at the similarity between the two songs to asking the makers to give credit to the Pakistani singer, there are all sorts of comments on the video.

“This sounds like Besharam Rang from Pathaan,” wrote a user.
