Plagiarism in Indian music industry does not surprise us anymore. In fact, the act of lifting tunes and terming it as an ‘inspiration’ is a trend that is not going to die anytime sooner. A new case of blatant copying is that of a Bhojpuri song “Tajmahal Banwada Baliya Me” featuring actress Sambhavna Seth. It has directly lifted the music and tunes from the popular song “Teri Aakhya Ka Yo Kajal” by Sapna Choudhary. Bigg Boss 11 contestant’s chartbuster song has been a rage among music lovers and now seeing it get copied so shamelessly, we cannot help but feel bad for the original makers. Interestingly, Sambhavna who stars in the Bhojpuri item number is also a former Bigg Boss housemate.

Dance performer Sapna Choudhary became a household name after her participation on famous reality television show, Bigg Boss in 2017. Even before becoming a known face in television and cinema world, Sapna has been a queen of masses. Among all Sapna Choudhary’s songs and dance performances, “Teri Aakhya Ka Yo Kajal” has been the most loved one. The catchy musical beats can be recognised by anyone who has heard the original song even once. Thereby when Sambhavna Seth’s “Tajmahal Banwada Baliya Me” released, one could instantly realise it to be a rip-off of Sapna’s hit song.

“Tajmahal Banwada Baliya Me” is an item number from Dinesh Lal Yadav "Nirahua" starring Bhojpuri movie Saugandh released in February 2018. It has a scantily-dressed Sambhavna dancing to the tunes of music director Ashok Kumar Deep. The voice for “Tajmahal Banwada Raja Baliya Me” is lent by Kalpana and is a sleaze-fest just like any other Bhojpuri song. It is going to be a challenge for you to watch the full song without feeling mortified.

As for Sapna, the 27-year-old is scaling new heights of success post her appearance in Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss show. She was one of the favourite contestants inside the celebrity house, and the fandom continued even post her exit from the show. She bagged offers from Bollywood to display her dancing skills – the first one being Veerey Ki Wedding starring Pulkit Samrat, Kriti Kharbanda and Jimmy Sheirgill, while the second movie is Nanu Ki Jaanu with Abhay Deol and Patralekha in main roles.
