Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, the self-proclaimed entertainer and viral internet sensation, has once again stirred headlines—this time with his candid appearance on a popular podcast hosted by Asif Jutt.
Known more for his controversial social media fame than traditional singing talent, Chahat addressed growing criticism surrounding his bold videos, suggestive lyrics, and over-the-top persona.
During the podcast, Chahat boldly claimed, “I am not vulgar at all.” When asked why he often appears too physically close to women in his videos, he brushed it off by calling it “just acting” and part of the entertainment. He went on to say, “I don’t actually do anything wrong—it’s all scripted and meant for fun.”
But critics, including celebrities like model and host Mathira, have called out his behavior as crossing the line. Mathira previously remarked that Chahat tends to become “a bit too bold” during shows and public appearances, raising questions about the limits of public decency in the name of entertainment.
When the conversation turned to his infamous and widely criticized song “Paw Paw,” known for its double-meaning lyrics, Chahat initially denied any wrongdoing. Laughing, he repeated the lyrics live on the podcast but later admitted, “Yes, I should be more mindful of my words and content.”
The singer insisted that his intent is harmless and purely for fun. However, the growing concern is whether controversial social media fame justifies crossing ethical boundaries, especially when such content reaches children and young audiences.
Instead of directly addressing the ethical concerns, Chahat seemed to deflect with sarcasm and humor. But the question remains—can one truly separate “art” from responsibility, especially in an age where viral content shapes opinions and influences millions?
Now, not only fans but also industry insiders are asking: Has the race for online fame overshadowed values and standards in digital entertainment? As controversial social media fame continues to reward boldness over substance, the debate over Chahat Fateh Ali Khan’s style of entertainment shows no signs of cooling down.
