Bhajan Samrat Gulshan Kumar's company, T-Series, keeps uploading many bhajans and videos on YouTube. Among these, the most viewed bhajan video in India is 'Hanuman Chalisa'. It has been viewed 4,669,434,250 views (about 4 billion 67 lakh) so far. This video is viewed millions of times every day. The song is heard with great faith in Hindu families. The audio of Hanuman Chalisa is also played a lot in temples and religious programs. The interesting thing is that many people do not know who the singer of this song is. Yes, the same Hariharan who has sung popular songs like 'Tu Hi Re', 'Yun Hi Chala Chal', 'Chanda Re Chanda Re'. Not only has Hanuman Chalisa been sung, but Hariharan has also sung many bhajans. Many famous bhajans of Lord Shiva are in Hariharan's voice. The interesting thing is that many people do not know the fact that the Hanuman Chalisa, in which Gulshan Kumar is seen, has been sung by Hariharan. T-Series' Hanuman Chalisa became the first devotional video to cross 1 billion views on YouTube. The company also tweeted about this. The interesting thing came to light that the highest increase in views of Hanuman Chalisa was seen during the Corona. During the pandemic, T-Series owner Bhushan Kumar had said during an interview that when people are troubled, they listen to Hanuman Chalisa or sing it themselves. He had said, We are all in great trouble. Hanuman Chalisa gives strength to face these troubles. During a recent conversation with Radio Nasha, singer Hariharan was stunned when he came across the staggering number of views for his Hanuman Chalisa devotional video. He revealed, 'I was completely flabbergasted by the response it got. I didn't understand how it became such a huge thing and the kind of belief people have in it… It truly humbles me (sic).' He revealed an interesting anecdote when a priest almost touched his feet. 'I once visited the Brahma temple in Pushkar. The priest at the temple came up to me, folded his hands, and nearly touched my feet. I asked him, 'Maharaj ji yeh aap kya kar rahe hai (What are you doing?)'. He told me that they start the day with my rendition of Hanuman Chalisa,' said Hariharan.
