BOLLYWOOD
Recreated by Badshah, the 2016 dance track 'Kala Chashma', featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif, has hit 1 billion views on YouTube.
Born as Aditya Prateek Sisodia in New Delhi on November 19, 1984, Badshah chose his stage name as he is a big fan of Shah Rukh Khan, who is fondly known as Badshah of Bollywood. From DJ Waley Babu and Wakhra Swag to She Move It Like and Jugnu, the singer-rapper has made multiple hits in Hindi and Punjabi languages.
Badshah has now achieved another milestone in his career as his song 'Kala Chashma' from the 2016 Hindi film Baar Baar Dekho has crossed 1 billion views on YouTube. Thus, he has become the first rapper in Asia to reach this figure solidifying his status as the undisputed king of Indian rap.
The energetic dance number 'Kala Chashma' was originally composed by Prem Hardeep & Kam Dhillon, and recreated by Badshah. Amar Arshi, Badshah, and Neha Kakkar have sung the track with lyrics by Amrik Singh and Kumaar. The track featured the film's leads Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra in its video.
Talking about this feat, Badshah said in a statement, "Achieving a billion views for ‘Kala Chashma’ is a surreal moment. It’s a testament to the incredible support and love I’ve received from my fans. This milestone is more than just a personal achievement; it's a reflection of the growing acceptance and appreciation for Indian hip-hop. I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent the culture on such a massive platform. It’s just the beginning, and there’s so much more to come."
Saurabh Abbi, TM Talent Management (the talent management company representing Badshah), added, "Badshah’s impact on the Indian music industry is immeasurable. With 'Kala Chashma,' he has redefined the boundaries of Indian pop culture and showcased the power of Indian music on the world stage. This achievement is a testament to his exceptional artistry and the unwavering support of his fans."
Badshah's historic achievement comes just a few days before his debut performance at the Mirchi Fest in The Hague in Netherlands on August 11.
