However, Mile Ho Tum is not Neha Kakkar’s first song to cross a billion views on Youtube. In 2018, Neha voiced the much-loved song, Aankh Marey that crossed the 1-billion-view mark. Featuring Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan, Aankh Marey is considered as one of Neha’s most successful songs in recent times. Voiced by Mika Singh and Neha Kakkar, the lyrics of the track are crafted by Shabbir Ahmad. The song is a recreation of the original song, Aankh Maare, sung by Kumar Sanu.

Tony on the work front

Tony Kakkar's last song was Kurta Pajama, which was written, composed and sung by him. Kurta Pajama is a perfect foot-tapping party number, which features Shehnaaz Gill in a new bold avatar, unlike what fans witnessed during her stint in Bigg Boss 13. Besides Tony Kakkar and Shehnaaz Gill's eye-catching hook steps, what works in favour of the song is Kakkar and Gill's chemistry. The song was released 2 months ago on Youtube and had made its place on the trending charts soon after its release, as the official video had crossed more than 5 lakh views within an hour of its launch.
