If I’m Rolls-Royce, Badshah is Nano: Honey Singh

March 11, 2016

Mumbai, Mar 11: They may have collaborated earlier on hit songs but now, rapper Honey Singh says the difference between his music and singer Badshah’s is that of a Rolls-Royce and a Nano. The duo worked together for six years until 2012 and collaborated on songs including tracks like “Get up Jawani” and “Khol Botal”. Badshah launched his first single in 2006 with Honey. During Honey’s ‘break’ from the music scene, Badshah gave chartbusters like “DJ Waley Babu” and the recent “Kar gayi chull” from “Kapoor & Sons”.

honeyWhen asked if Badshah has taken over the music scene in his absence, Honey told reporters, “Have you driven a Rolls -Royce? There is a difference between a Rolls-Royce (an ultra luxury car brand) and a Nano (the world’s cheapest car).” The 32-year-old singer was speaking at the trailer launch of his upcoming Punjabi film “Zorawar”. Honey’s last Bollywood song was 2015?s “Aankhon Aankhon” from Kunal Kemmu-starrer “Bhaag Johnny”.

The “Lungi Dance” singer, who reportedly was in rehab, did not divulge the reason for his absence but said it was an “important phase” of his life. “It’s a long story, I had disappeared for almost 18 months. There were lots of rumours about where I was. But today I’ll talk about my movie, very soon I’ll give an interview where I’ll tell you the entire story about what had happened with me. That’s an important phase of my life.” It was also reported that Honey had a fight with superstar Shah Rukh Khan during the latter’s world tour, but the “Angreji Beat” hitmaker dismissed the reports. “Nothing like that happened. We have great relations (with each other).

I met him after one-and-a-half years at an award function (recently), we couldn’t meet earlier.” “Zorawar” will feature Honey making his debut as a lead actor in films. He was earlier seen in Himesh Reshammiya’s “The Xpose”. The “Chaar Botal Vodka” singer says he wanted to try his hands at acting and feels it was a challenging task. “I don’t consider myself just a rapper or singer. I am a music producer, lyricist, poet… Acting is also a part of big entertainment. So it was something which was left. It is a tough job to portray a character and make it believable on screen.” Directed by Vinnil Markan, “Zorawar” is scheduled to release on May 6.

Mumbai, Jun 16: In the wake of Sushant Singh Rajput's death, veteran actor Deepti Naval has opened up about her struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts in the early 90s.

Naval shared a poem that she wrote during her struggle with depression on her Facebook page after paying tributes to Rajput, who was found hanging in his Bandra apartment on Sunday at the age of 34.

According to a police official, Mumbai Police found out during the probe that the actor was under medication for depression

"Dark days these... So much has been happening - mind has come to a point of stillness... Or rather numbness. Today I feel like sharing a poem I wrote back in the years when I was fighting depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts - Yes, fighting... and like how," Naval wrote.

The 68-year-old actor made her debut with Shyam Benegal's 1978 "Junoon" and went on to feature in films like "Chashme Buddoor", "Ankahee", "Mirch Masala", Saath Saath among others in the 80s.

Naval's poem, titled "Black Wind", begins by describing how anxiety engulfs a person.

"Anxiety grips me with both hands, spiked claws dig deep into my soul I gasp for breath and stagger around sharp corners of my single bed.."

In the poem, Naval talks about fighting suicidal thoughts and depression, describing it as a "ghoulish lust" she won't succumb to.

"The telephone rings... no, it stops...God damn! Why don't anyone speak? A voice, Just a human voice In this shameless, pitiless Abyss of the night - gloom deepens into darkness, turns purple I feel dark inside."

The actor ends by writing that she will survive the night, its "deathly design" and fight.

"The world's a snake pit, so let it be! I dare the devil to get the better of me! Deepti Naval, Night of July 28, 1991."

In an interview with PTI last year, Naval had mentioned how acting assignments started to thin in the late 90s and as a "serious actor" it was "devastating" to be ignored.

Mumbai, Jun 17: A lawyer on Wednesday moved a criminal complaint against 8 persons, including Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and producer-director Karan Johar, in a local court regarding the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

The court had fixed July 3 as the next date of hearing.

In his complaint filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha alleged that these eight persons forced Sushant to commit suicide under a conspiracy which, he pleaded, amounted to murder.

Others named in the complaint are Aditya Chopra, Sajid Nadiadwala, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bhushan Kumar, Ekta Kapoor, and director Dinesh.

The complainant claimed that these persons did not let Sushant's movies get released under a conspiracy and the late actor was not even invited to film functions because of these people.

Ojha said that Sushant Singh Rajput's death had not only hurt the people of Bihar but the entire country.

He said the complaint had been filed under Sections 306, 109, 504 and 506 and Bollywood actor Kangana Ranawat had been listed as a witness in the case.

Sushant Singh Rajput had allegedly committed suicide at his Bandra flat in Mumbai on Sunday.
