Bado Badi Song Lyrics And Meaning

A newly released song, "Aankh Ladi Bado Badi," has quickly gained popularity on platforms like Instagram and YouTube Shorts. The phrase "Bado Badi" has its roots in the Punjabi language. Though the song is trending by Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, it is not a new track. Chahat is known for his old songs as well; he sings them specially.

Who is Chahat Fateh Ali Khan?

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan is born in Gujranwala. He may be very popular through social media as some say that his style is a little offbeat- hence offbeat songster, or as he has a type of music that is said to have no traditional tunes. Yet his songs go viral more often than not. He has often been compared with India's Dinchak Pooja due to their quirky kind of songs.

He may share a first name synonymous with superstars of Pakistani singing Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, but that is not so. Instead, he selected the name Bado Badi for his repute and recognition.
 
Etymology of "Bado Badi"

Aankh Ladi Bado Badi is not a new release. It belongs to the old Punjabi classic originally sung by legendary singer Noor Jehan for the film Banarasi Thug.

What do you understand "Bado Badi" means?

In Punjabi, "Bado Badi" literally means "forcefully" or "zabardasti." Hence, the word "Aankh Ladi Bado Badi" translates into "our eyes met forcefully." With this meaning in consideration, both Chahat Fateh Ali Khan's cover and Noor Jehan's original version have proved to be good listeners' entertainment.

Chances only once in a while,
