Bollywood’s famous rapper Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, AKA Badshah, has claimed that AR Rahman had apologised to him for not liking the remix of his song ‘Huma Huma’.
Badshah is one of the few singers who has produced remixes of past superhit classic songs, for which he often faced criticism.
Recently, Badshah said, “I know how to present ‘Huma Huma’ in Badshah’s style so that the spirit of the original song is not hurt and the song is also presented in a new style. When I did ‘Huma Huma’, I faced a lot of criticism; Rahman sahib was also very unhappy.”
He added that, “Later, AR Rahman called me and said that he was sorry that it took him a while to understand that this is a good song. When AR Rahman reacted like this, there was nothing bigger and more important for me because I did not expect it.”
AR Rahman is the original composer of the song who expressed dissatisfaction with the remix after it was released.
The song ‘Huma Huma’ from the film Bombay, released in 1995, received a lot of recognition. At that time, this song was a superhit and was later remixed for the movie ‘OK Jaanu’, released in 2017.
Badshah has also presented many other hit remix songs, including ‘Gore Gore Mukhade Pe Kaala Chashma’ and ‘Tamma Tamma’.
Earlier, Bollywood maestro A. R. Rahman and Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu, have announced their decision to separate after 29 years of marriage.
Rahman shared an emotional note with his fans on November 19, thanking them for respecting their privacy during this difficult time.
In his post on X (formerly Twitter), A. R. Rahman expressed the pain of the separation, saying, “We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, but all things, it seems, carry an unseen end. Even the throne of God might tremble at the weight of broken hearts. Yet, in this shattering, we seek meaning, though the pieces may not find their place again. To our friends, thank you for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter.”
A. R. Rahman and Saira Banu tied the knot on March 12, 1995, and have three children together.
On November 19, Saira Banu’s lawyer, Vanda Shah, released a public statement conforming the separation.
The statement read: “After many years of marriage, Mrs Saira has made the difficult decision to separate from her husband Mr AR Rahman. This decision comes after significant emotional strain in their relationship”
“Despite their deep love for each other, the couple has found that the tensions and difficulties have created an insurmountable gap between them, one that neither party feels able to bridge at this time. Mrs Saira emphasised that she has taken this decision out of pain and agony. Mrs Saira requests privacy and understanding from the public during this challenging time, as she navigates this difficult chapter in her life”, the further statement read.
