Kitho aaya corona? Viral bhajan on Covid-19 has the internet laughing, Video
Everybody is doing their bit to ward off the novel coronavirus. From public figures like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prince Charles asking people to switch to namaste as a form of pleasantries to people singing bhajans and asking the lords for help.
Yes, you read that right.
A video of bhajan singer, Narendra Chanchal, singing at a Holi event in Paharganj, New Delhi, is going viral. The ‘Holi ke rang Maa Jhandewwali ke sang’ took place on March 9. Comedian and writer, Mallika Dua shared the now-viral clip with the caption, “O kitthon aaya Corona? Jagrata is better than cure.”
In the clip, Chanchal can be heard singing, “Dengue vi aaya, Swine Flu vi aaya. Chickunguniya ne shor machaya. Khabre ki-ki ho na? Kitho aaya corona? Maiya Ji, Kitho aaya corona? (Dengue came and so did Swine Flu. Chicken Guniya made noises, there is what not in the news but where did corona come from?)”
One striking thing about the video is that a large group of people can be seen sitting together while repeating the words of Narendra Chanchal, but, since day 1 of the outbreak, the government has advised against such big gatherings. Ironic much!
The coronavirus bhajan has left the internet in splits.
India, at the moment, has 84 novel coronavirus active cases with two fatalities recorded.
