‘Kala Chashma’ original singer Amar Arshi on recent virality of the song: ‘I haven’t made any monetary gains from it’

en Bollywood News ‘Kala Chashma’ original singer Amar Arshi on recent virality of the song: ‘I haven’t made any monetary gains from it’

'Kala Chashma' original singer Amar Arshi says he has not made any monetary gains via the song's virality.

It's been years since ‘Kala Chashma’ from Baar Baar Dekho was released and we clearly remember how big of a hit the song turned out to be. Not a single day since then has passed when the song has stopped being a party favorite. It's that song that always excites people and makes them groove at any hour of the day and at any party at night. So, it wouldn't be surprising to see Bollywood and Hollywood’s biggest stars dancing on ‘Kala Chashma’ as if there is no tomorrow! While the song was recreated for Siddharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif’s film by Baadshah and Neha Kakkar, the original singer Amar Arshi says he has not made any monetary gains via the song's virality.

Speaking to Mint, Arshi said, “My son had been telling me it was all over the internet but I didn’t pay heed until two weeks ago when I started getting calls from some friends in the US, England, and Canada.”

He added, “I don’t think most of these people making dance videos to this song know that I sang it. For all the raula (buzz) this song has generated in recent weeks, I haven’t made any monetary gains from it. I can’t understand contracts written in English. I knew little about royalty as a concept back then. Further, I didn’t think the song will become this big.”

Recently, American singer Demi Lovato & the host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon were seen dancing to ‘Kala Chashma’. It all started with the Quick Style dance group performing the song at a friend's sangeet which went viral on the internet.
