The answer is Hum Sab The. Yes, the entire nation sang (and still singing) this addictive musical spoof produced by engineer turned musician Yashraj Mukhate.
A daily soap named Saath Nibhana Saathiya has managed to steal people’s attention even after years because of the super-funny antic scenes. Preferred by a lot of meme-makers across the countries, characters like Gopi Bahu and Kokilaben have been on our screen. But nothing closest to what this young talented musician did.
Using a scene from the serial and mixing it up with rap, Yashraj’s musical twist has given it a hysterically funny turn. And we can’t get it out of our head.
“Khali cooker gas pe chadha diya, chadha diya”… (We bet you can’t read this without singing)
You Never Know What Goes Viral
They say light travels faster than sound. However, this track of Aurangabad-based musician created a spark within less than 24 hours proving the law deceptive! With no prior knowledge of going viral, Yashraj uploaded the 57-second video as a part of his routine life only to realise later this is going to change his life.
Soon after uploading, the content spread like wildfire not only among the crazy netizens but also the celebrities. Personalities like Taapsee Pannu, Sanya Malhotra, Rajkummar Rao, Varun Dhawan, and Prateek Kuhad to name a few shared and commented on his video.
Within a short span of time, Yashraj Mukhate became an overnight sensation. When he uploaded the video, the count of followers was 24k on Instagram and now it’s 734K+. In 2018, Priya Prakash Varrier caught the country’s attention with her viral wink and gun kiss attracting over 606,000 followers on Instagram in a day.
In the case of Yashraj, there is more to this. The video that featured Kokilaben (Rupal Patel) was so overwhelmed after watching this, she ended up calling the artist and praised his work and even invited him to meet her whenever he is in Mumbai.
However, the Universe has planned something more. Much to his surprise, Anurag Kashyap contacted him on Instagram and applauded his work. Guess the best part? The director even shared his contact number expressing his willingness to work with Mukhate.
Goodness Gracious!
That’s the power of Indian cyberspace.
