Chot Khada Khadai
by Manoj Raj
"Chot Khada Khadai" is a highly emotional and popular modern Nepali sentimental track sung by the renowned artist Manoj Raj. Released through Music Nepal, the song features evocative lyrics penned by Rajababu Shrestha and an intense, melancholic musical composition by the celebrated maestro Suresh Adhikari. Manoj Raj's smooth, classically trained vocals beautifully capture the essence of heartbreak, driving the track's sorrowful rhythm. Accompanied by an official music video directed by Arjun Adhikari and featuring actors Rajan, Benisha, and Sherchan, the song became a definitive anthem for listeners navigating the painful aftermath of unrequited love and betrayal.
Lyrically, the song translates to experiencing continuous wounds or blows, opening with the poignant line, "Chot khada khada mutu achanai sari bho," which metaphorically describes a heart that has been broken so many times it has hardened like a blacksmith's anvil. The verses chronicle the agony of a lover who mistakenly worshiped a stone like a god ("Dhungalai deuta thani dherai dhoka khaye") and blindly trusted someone who only brought deception. The repetitive, aching hook, "Kati rahechu yo juni dinai ganera," perfectly expresses the despair of merely counting down the days of a shattered life.

Chot khada khada mutu
Achanai sari bho
