Meet, Bhuban Badyakar, a hard-working but skilled peanut seller from Birbhum, West Bengal, who has created this song as a marketing tool to promote his business. 

The lyrics of his song explains the fact that he sells untoasted peanut, and even before the reel crashed the internet, he was quite popular in his locality. Bhuban’s song was recorded by someone, and it was uploaded to the internet, without his knowledge. However, he is thankful to the one who uploaded his song. 

Soon, after his song became a trend, he got fame from every corner of the world. Celebs like Rupali Ganguly, Shooter Dadi, the famous father-daughter duo from Brazil, Nyla Usha have remixed his reel and came up with their own renditions.
