Mehwish Hayat bedazzles in Honey Singh's 'Jatt Mehkma'

Actor's anticipated collab with Indian rapper finally out

Yo Yo Honey Singh has stepped back into the game with a fresh music video for his song Jatt Mehkma. The track, boasting Singh's influence in a world of wealth and status, is now accompanied by a music video expanding on the theme of opulence. Another fun fact about the rich music video is that it features Pakistani actor Mehwish Hayat hand-in-hand with the rapper himself.

The music video begins with well-to-do individuals and pairs entering a lavish gathering and quickly mingling until their attention is drawn to the hosts descending the stairs - Singh and Hayat. Owing to the lyrics of the song, the guests give the impression of being the Jatt unit that the musician flaunts at length about.

The leading pair steals the limelight not just with their poised stride but also the presence and apparent loyalty that they inspire. As a plus point, Hayat stuns in an elegant black dress and staple pearl accessories on her neck and wrists, while Singh dons a striped suit under a white fur coat. Fur seems to be a common fashion element for the on-screen couple.

Singh, who is fondly known as the Bluetooth King amongst his fans, was lauded for his grandiose comeback in the comments section on YouTube. "Fully international vibes," noted a user. "Literally, this one feels like a movie," remarked another.

While some fans urged each other to work on streaming and achieving milestones for their idol, others keenly kept track of the views on the music video. The upload surpassed 10 million views in less than 48 hours and has been marked as a trending video on the platform.

The announcement of Singh and Hayat's collaboration was made in a cheeky behind-the-scenes video, in which the two were dressed in their rich attire from the music video. Previously, the rapper was down with health issues but this year he gifted the world his long-awaited comeback with the renewed enthusiasm of a star.

Less than a week before the release, Singh took to Instagram to make a solo announcement. Speaking on camera, he mentioned that the music video marks his directorial debut, elaborating that he has always been involved in the concept development for his music video, but this time he was at the head of the table. "This is an exclusive music video featuring twelve of my brothers worldwide because this release is a celebration of brotherhood," he said.

This release isn't the last we see of Hayat in collaboration with the musician. In an earlier interview, the actor revealed that she has worked as a singer with Singh as well and the track will be released in early 2025.
