The Uncredited Melody: Krishna Beuraa's Candid Revelation About 'Main Jahaan Rahoon' and the Fight for Her Voice

There are some songs that just embed themselves in our hearts, becoming an indelible part of our collective memory. "Main Jahaan Rahoon" from the 2007 Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer 'Namastey London' is undeniably one such track. It's a melody that conjures up images of longing and love, famously sung by the legendary Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. But, as it turns out, there was always another equally soulful voice on that track, one that remained uncredited for a very long time: Krishna Beuraa.

Recently, Beuraa, a talented playback singer herself, decided it was time to share her side of the story, finally opening up about the frustration and deep disappointment of not receiving proper acknowledgment for her contribution. Can you imagine pouring your heart and soul into a performance, only for your name to be missing from the credits? It's a disheartening experience, to say the least. "I felt really bad," she confessed in a recent interaction, a sentiment that resonates with anyone who's ever felt their hard work overlooked. She was, quite understandably, "very upset" about the oversight that persisted for years after the song’s initial release.

Of course, she didn't just sit idly by. Beuraa took the initiative, reaching out directly to the song's composer, Himesh Reshammiya, as well as the production house, Eros International. Himesh, to his credit, was very understanding. He promised to rectify the situation, assuring her that her name would be added to the credits. However, despite these reassurances, the correction seemed to get lost in the shuffle for quite some time. It wasn't until much later that her name finally appeared on various streaming platforms and YouTube, a long overdue recognition for her powerful vocal contribution.

So, where did the breakdown happen? Beuraa points the finger squarely at "carelessness" within the music department at Eros International. She specifically recalled an incident involving a "girl" in that department who, it seems, was simply negligent in her duties. It’s a stark reminder that even in a professional setup, a simple oversight or lack of attention to detail can have significant emotional and professional consequences for artists. She was quick to clarify, though, that the blame certainly wasn't with Himesh Reshammiya, who, as she reiterated, genuinely tried to help.

This whole episode brings to light a recurring issue in the music industry, particularly for newer or less established artists. Beuraa drew a parallel to a similar controversy involving Sunidhi Chauhan and an uncredited song in 'Ghajini,' highlighting that such incidents, unfortunately, aren't isolated. For any artist, especially a budding one, getting proper credit isn't just about ego; it's about professional legitimacy, intellectual property, and ensuring that their work is valued. "It felt like people were taking me for granted," Beuraa lamented, capturing the essence of feeling undervalued. Her decision to speak out is a powerful message, not just for herself, but for every artist who has ever had to fight for the recognition they rightfully deserve.
