Shaan REVEALS Generation Z Doesn’t Know Him for His Songs Anymore – They Know Him from a Viral Meme
The Viral Moment That Changed Everything
That moment would have vanished—had it not lasted—when Shaan accidentally read out a cuss word during a live Instagram session. The internet lost its mind, and the clip quickly became one of the most circulated Instagram memes.
Shaan Breaks Silence on the Viral Video
Indian singer Shaan finally addressed the viral video where he was seen abusing young boys who harassed him during an Instagram live session.
“Ye kuch na tha,” Shaan remarked, referring to the moment casually.
He shared how the incident occurred:
“I was reading the comments, and I didn’t have my spectacles. I had no idea people cuss in the comments. When I was pronouncing them, one guy said, ‘abey aye l**da’. Someone recorded me reading that—and it went viral as a meme.”
A Five-Second Slip That Became an Identity
What could have been a forgettable slip became a defining moment when Shaan read a cuss word aloud during a live session. The internet went ballistic, and the video became a top-trending meme.
“Meme is My Identity Now”: Shaan
“That meme is my name now. There’s an entire Gen Z, young millennial period that don’t know me as someone who sings; they know me from the cuss word,” Shaan said.
He further added:
“Even my children’s friends are shocked when they meet me and say, ‘Oh hey, he’s your dad?’
When they inform them, ‘Oh, he’s singer Shaan’, they say ‘No!’—and then show them the meme.”
What Was the Meme All About?
For the uninitiated, the video showed India’s popular singer Shaan reacting strongly to trolls during a live session. Known for his cool and subtle persona, the unexpected response shocked fans and turned into internet gold.
Shaan was heard saying:
“Ye l**da bolna band karo yaar, ye kya hai? Will talk with respect. Don’t use abusive language—that shows your true colours.”
When a viewer questioned his identity, Shaan didn’t hold back:
“Ask your parents who I am. Ask your teachers—if you’ve got them.
I could have sung less, could be less popular, but I don’t have to tell you who I am.”
Shaan’s Popular Songs That Defined an Era
Despite being remembered by Gen Z for the meme, Shaan has an iconic musical legacy. Some of his most beloved songs include:
- Chand Sifarish
- Tanha Dil
- Hey Shona
- Behti Hawaa Sa Tha Woh
- Jab Se Tere Naina
💬 “The meme might be my identity now, but music will always be my soul.” — Shaan
