I must sound really silly but when Anu Malik and Sonu sometimes say things like 'harkate bahut acchi thi', what do they mean by that.

(You guessed right, I am not a trained singer😕)

If you have heard the song "Is mod se jaate hain" (RD Burman), what Lata does in the word MOD, in the first line, is typically a harkat in classical music. Additionally, harkat is also the variations given to the same word/phrase when it repeats later in the song. (In the same song, listen out for the word MOD when it comes again, Lata gives a variation.)

Hope this helps
