Thumak Thumak Jaandi Ae Mahiye De Naal is a line that’s all over social media, whether one understands the lyrics or not. Neha Bhasin’s Punjabi folk song, Jutti Meri, is going viral, topping charts on audio-streaming apps, including YouTube and Spotify. What makes it surprising is that Jutti Meri was released in 2020, created as a part of Bhasin and her husband Sameer Uddin’s passion project, Folktales Live.
Bhasin remembers releasing the song — which reimagines the popular Punjabi folk song of the same name — on March 16, 2020, days before the country went into lockdown. “We couldn’t promote it at all,” laments the singer. The song being rediscovered five years after its release makes Bhasin feel vindicated as an independent artiste who marches to her own drum.
“I always wondered just because I don’t bow down to the music industry’s rules, why should my song not be a commercial hit? So, to get that is the universe telling us that we’ve been on the right path. I also believe my late father has a hand in this. It’s been charting on YouTube in the top 30. My distribution team, Virgin Music, says no old song ever enters the trending list on YouTube. The numbers are showing that the song has gone crazily viral. It has got the fate that it always deserved,” she smiles.
