A new video of yesteryears singer Lucky Ali crooning his hit song O Sanam, and playing the guitar, has gone viral. In the video, the singer stops at a line where there is a mention of the word death. "Mar bhi gaye toh bhool na jaana (don't forget me even after I die)." Lucky abruptly stops singing at that point, before picking up the song a few lines later. Lucky, who is 62 now, looks very different in an Islamic cap and trimmed white beard as he strums the notes and starts singing. Although his voice sounds aged, he has lost none of the hallmark melodious magic.
O Sanam had been one of Lucky Ali’s most popular songs from his debut album Sunoh in 1996. Lucky Ali’s performance was from a live session and uploaded by a person named Saad Khan on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Titled 'Lucky Ali - O Sanam(2020 Unplugged Live)' on YouTube, the video was of 2 minutes and 37 seconds. Netizens went back in time, refreshing their fond memories of Lucky Ali and his songs. Some boasted about being ‘90s kid’ and others remembered their childhood. Even celebrities were awestruck. Rahul Dev, Karanvir Bohra, Anjana Sukhani, Swastika Mukherjee, Satyajeet Dubey were mesmerised by it.
