The craze of hearing rapper Badshah live is unique among fans. When the rapper participated in Sahitya Aaj Tak 2024 on November 22, a huge crowd of viewers gathered to watch him. This time Badshah did not attend the event as a musical guest. Here he talked about many things including his life, his friendship with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir and his bond with Diljit Dosanjh. To make Friday night special, Badshah also appeared in the audience and danced while singing songs.
The moderators for this session were Navjot Kaur and Vikrant Gupta. Rapper Badshah had a lot of fun with both of them. Badshah was asked that he set out to be an engineer, so how did he become a bad boy? On this, Badshah said, ‘For the first time, I have not created expectations in the eyes of the world. I said I am as I am.
Shahrukh gave a special gift
After this, Badshah spoke about Shahrukh Khan. The rapper has said many times that he changed his real name from Aditya Prateek Singh to the stage name Badshah. This name is inspired by the king of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan. Badshah is a big fan of Shahrukh. The King also received a special gift for singing a song for King Khan. Regarding this, he said, ‘I had made a song for Shahrukh sir. He said: What will your rate be? I said: I won’t accept fees. He said: We’ll have to drink something. I said I want a PlayStation 5. It hasn’t come to India. This is no big deal for Mr. Shahrukh. So he gave it to me. I still have his message even today. He said, your luggage has arrived home, take it.
What is Hania’s relationship with Aamir?
Rapper Badshah’s name has been associated with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir for a long time. Both have been seen together since last year. He shared the photo for the first time after their meeting in Dubai. These photos set the Internet on fire. When Badshah was asked if he sings the song ‘Ve Haniya’ a lot on the streets of Dubai, he said, “May this song remain on the streets of Dubai.” After this, while clarifying his relationship with Hania, he said: ‘Nothing, she is a very good friend.’ Very good connection. We have fun every time we meet. He is happy in his life, I am happy in mine. The equation is very good. People don’t understand this. People understand what they have to understand.
Badshah is an emotional person
Badshah also talked about his personality here. The rapper said that he is not a disciplined person. Every artist is different. But he believes that most artists are not disciplined. The king said: ‘If I had been disciplined, I would have become an army officer. My father wanted me to become an IS. He also said: ‘I am a very emotional, reserved and shy person. I’m afraid to speak in front of an audience like that. This Aditya is not sitting here, this Badshah is sitting, that’s why I can talk.
“Stop selling liquor, then the songs will also stop,” Badshah said in support of Diljit
During the session, Badshah spoke about his bond with singer Diljit Dosanjh. He said, ‘Diljit paaji means a lot to me. He’s like my older brother. Whenever there is any problem in my life, he supports me. There is a lot to learn from him.
A few days ago, before the concert in Hyderabad, Diljit Dosanjh was involved in a controversy. The government had banned him from singing songs about alcohol. This answer was given by Diljit Dosanjh. During Sahitya Aaj Tak 2024, Badshah was asked his opinion on the matter. He said, “I think he (Diljit) is absolutely right.” You’re telling them not to make songs with liquor and you’re selling liquor. Why not do it? An artist represents society. Even then they are relevant. That’s why the world loves them. Because somewhere he speaks what the world wants to speak. But whatever the problem, there must be some problems before the government that the common man does not understand. But I agree with him (Diljeet). I mean, if you want them not to sing songs, then that shouldn’t happen in society.
Badshah was also asked: Recently there was a lot of controversy in Punjab that songs about using weapons should not be sung. The Chief Minister had also imposed some bans in this regard. About this the rapper said: ‘Look, I feel that since I was little we have been in a place like this, we come from a place that represents machismo, the alpha male. Now, because he is Divine, Divine raps in the street. We have grown like this. Only bullets are fired at our weddings. If the gun doesn’t fire then the marriage doesn’t happen. I’m not promoting this, but this is the culture we’ve seen growing up and we write about it too.
I told this to Honey Singh about the patch
Badshah was talking about who is better than his bond in the industry. He took the names of rapper Raftaar, singer Diljit Dosanjh and comedian Samay Raina. Meanwhile, someone from the audience said that Badshah’s bond with Honey Singh is good. At this the king said: ‘Yes, everything is going well with him too. On the patch issue, Badshah said: Whatever is done now is done. The night is over, the matter is over. About Honey Singh doing a song together, Badshah said, “I will do the song again.” Because if we release good songs… we will release good songs.
He further said, “But I really wish everyone the best.” This is the part. This has been the culture. This dispute continues. But the industry is too big for us to support everyone. It is not true that only one song is playing. Each person’s songs should be played, there should be entertainment. The more you get into it, the further you get away from your work. I think you should focus on your work and yourself. You are your competition. You should try to improve yourself.
