Gujarat Man Mistaking 'Pawwa' in Chikni Chameli for 'Poha' Reminds Internet of Jethalal
Viral post on how a man mistook 'Pawwa' in Chikni Chameli song as 'Poha' amuses internet.
Remember that ‘TMKOC’ episode where the Gokuldham society members engaged in a spirited game of antakshari, and Jethalal, eager to showcase his rendition of ‘Chikni Chameli,’ ingeniously swapped the line “Pawwa chadake aayi" for “Gas pe bataka Pawwa chadake aayi"? Naturally, Bapuji’s discerning gaze prompted him to cleverly replace the intended “quarter" with the innocent “Poha," a beloved Indian breakfast staple.
But who would have thought a similar twist would manifest in real life, or perhaps just for laughs? A Gujarati individual shared a hilarious post expressing their longtime belief that the lyrics referred to “Poha" instead of “Pawwa" in the 2012 song.

In a post by @spicydabeli on ‘X,’ the individual quipped, “Poha is pronounced “pawwa" in Gujarati. So for eighteen years of my life I thought Chikni Chameli would sneak out of her home, cook poha for her kids, and then dance at the bar." LOL! Whether deliberate or fabricated (because the song isn’t eighteen years old), the man undeniably sparked laughter online, evoking fond memories of Jethalal’s iconic moment.

Summing it up, one commenter mused, “Now, I realise what jethalal means when sang an improvised version of the song like ‘Gas Par Pawwa Chada k Ayi’ Due to Respect in front of His BapuJi."
