    Indian Singer sets stunning world record

    Multilingual Indian singer Suchetha Satish has set a stunning world record by singing in 140 languages during a nine-hour long concert on November 24, 2023, in Dubai. The concert happened at the Indian Consulate Auditorium and was a warm-up to the COP 28 Summit held from November 30 to December 12.

    She sang 101 foreign songs and 39 Indian songs. Even though she could sing in 150 languages, the organisers chose 140 to represent the 140 country leaders invited to the COP 28 summit. Suchetha started the concert by saying, “Climate change is real, and we must stop it.”
    Starting at 12 pm with an Awadhi song, she concluded the concert at 9 pm with a Hindi song dedicated to India. Impressively, she performed the entire concert without referring to any lyrics or notation.

    Does AP Dhillon’s ‘With You’ sound similar to Pakistan’s ‘Tum Mil Gaye’?

    Is there a slight chance that AP Dhillon’s hit song ‘With You’ is a copy of the same beat that the Vital Signs 90s hit ‘Tum Mil Gaye’ used?

    Commentator Ahmer Naqvi raised the question when he pointed out that the first few beats of both songs sound intriguingly similar.

    We are placing both songs here and allowing the audience to make their own judgement.

    Other X users chimed in to say that they could notice the similarities.

    But it seems like AP Dhillon has seemingly debunked these rumors, with a pinned comment by the producer Rebbel below the ‘Without You’ music video which reads:

    “This beat is not copied or stolen. It’s produced by me and AP Dhillon rightfully purchased this beat off me and now owns the exclusive rights. I’m grateful to have been part of this record.”

    Pakistani lyricist Asim Raza has lashed out at Indian singer Jubin Nautiyal for copying the song Bol Kaffara Kia Hoga without giving due credit.

    Taking to Twitter, the writer of the song warned the singer to apologise after the Lut Gaye singer said on social media that he has made a mistake but he will not apologise for that.

    Asim said Hindu festival Dasehra is coming on October 15 and his “multi-headed plagiarism” will be beheaded by the “rightful arrow”.

    “Alhamdulillah I’m listed in the greatest Pakistani song-makers ever who are copied by famous copycats without giving original credits,” the lyricist tweeted in a following tweet.

    He also tagged T-Series, Neha Kakkar and Jubin Nautiyal and said that they ruined the true soul of his song.

    It is not the first time Bollywood has plagiarised famous Pakistani songs. Earlier, Indian singer Dhuvani Bhanushali’s latest song Mehendi was copied from Pakistani legendary singer Alamgir’s Gagar.
