Kolkata Man Sings "Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi" Again to Honour his Mother Who Succumbed to COVID-19

Kolkata:

Soham Chatterjee, a Kolkata man who sang 'Tere Mujhse hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi' on his last call with his mother, who is fighting COVID-19 in a hospital, has posted a video of himself singing the song once more. 

Last week, Dipshikha Ghosh, the doctor who is treating Soham's mother, posted on Twitter an emotional moment between the mother and son. According to Soham, his mother died a few hours after the call.

Soham paid a heartfelt tribute to his mother by posting a video of himself singing the same song on Monday.

While singing the song, Soham wrote, "Music was something that tethered me to my mother. That's how we expressed our love and respect for each other. This song is ours and will always be irrespective of validation and recognition of any magnitude. Mom knew. Or, still knows. Who knows…I love you, maa. It's really hard here without you."

"Whenever I'd be upset with her, she'd sing it to me and I'd slip. We dueted this song everytime we were asked to sing at dinner parties or small concerts. She would start by humming 'la la' and I'd start with the first verse," he said, expression how much the song meant for him and his mother. 

"She was my biggest critic, inspiration and singing partner under whom I've trained for the better part of my initial years. I really miss her calling my singing 'kuttar daak' or cacophony or dog's barking as soon as I'd come out of the washroom where I'd sing western with earphones plugged in," added. 

He continued, "I really miss shoving your face into my chest and seeing you catch your breath for a couple of seconds, both glad that I hugged you and concerned what if I go for it again. I love you, maa. I wish you were still here."

The video has been viewed more than 70,000 times on social media sites. Tears welled up in the eyes of internet users as a response to this emotional video.
