It began with a simple joke. Finding themselves locked within the confines of their homes in 2020, Indian citizens turned to music to amuse themselves. Khidki pe aaun na bahar na jaun, kaise mein sara din ghar mein bitaun, sang Shweta Shetty, mirroring a situation that everyone was encountering. Evidently then, it didn’t take time for her ’90s track, Deewane deewane toh deewane hai, to go viral.
“I was surprised to see that the new generation found it to be relevant. Youngsters between the age of 15 and 24 were tagging me on social media with the song,” says the singer, adding that subsequently, her track, Tote tote, also caught their fancy.
