i was 3 years probably i was 3 years old when i fell in love with her and she was with me and then
she left me because she thought it wasn't a proper career choice
but main kya keheta mujhe kaisa banna hai koi hai hi nahi jaisa mujhe banna hai so it bothered them a lot
like are kya koi nasha washa toh nahi karra humara ladka but then it turned out fine and i started earning thankfully you know
i was enjoying every part of my journey whether it was sleeping on the floor whether it was
travelling without money you know i used to travel a lot between Chandigarh and Delhi because
i used to study in Chandigarh and i had to come to Delhi for a lot of things sometimes
i didn't even have money
you abused that so its one on one i mean its social media if you are telling me to do something
i will tell you to do something as well bro main Delhi se hoon eventually
he's a rapper he's an actor he's an artist and a goofy one at that today i have Badshah
joining us for a conversation on Pinkvilla
Rapping is not still considered a conventional job yeah specially in families you know how long
did it take for you to realize that you are made for this long enough ah but i think i was very smart about it and
to be honest like i told my parents i want to be a Rapper which of course they had no idea about what
i was talking about so i didn't even bother to explain them ki i just kept my head down kept working
kept studying you know get a few jobs and but side by side i was doing my music thing yeah
and then one fine day i bought this expensive car and parked it in front of the house and
my dad was like who's car was this i was like its mine and he was like how did you get this i was like music
i do music he was like then he then it you know occurred to him that ki ye kaise paise so he no clue about it
while you were doing it no for him it didn't matter for him ki main tv pe aa raha hoon it didn't matter
to him what mattered to him was are you making enough money so that you'll be able to survive
yeah if you're not doing the conventional job then this is not a conventional job beta this is what is
this he didn't its fine you are on tv people are taking pictures with you but then where's the money
because as parents that is what they are concerned about
after how many years of mehnat did you finally make that movie like when you could buy a car for yourself
5 years it took me 5 years but it took you 5 years to convince your parents also that this
is actually a good job did they have reservation when you first told them
off course they had reservations because this as a rapper i was probably the first one to do it and
there was no referance point there was no bench mark like what kisiko singer banna hota toh kehete
honge mujhe Sonu Nigam jaisa banna hai ya mujhe you know but main kya keheta mujhe kaisa
banna hai koi hai hi nahi jaisa mujhe banna hai so it bothered them a lot like are kya koi nasha
washa toh nahi karra humara ladka but then it turned out fine and i started earning thankfully you know
a lot of people might look at you and feel that life has been really easy and rosy um when you
were struggling i make it look like so yeah it is it is you o make it look like its fun and its easy
when was that time when you were struggling how difficult was it for you see i feel it
will be unfair to call struggle because struggle is when you don't enjoy it right i was knowing every part of my journey
whether it was sleeping on the floor or whether it was travelling without money so you know i used to travel a lot because
in Chandigarh and Delhi i used to study in Chandigarh and in Delhi i had to record lot of things
sometimes i didn't have the money but matlab buson ke conductor mere dost ban gaye the matlab
woh mujhe khana khilaya karte the matlab mai itna travel karta tha i enjoyed it nothing was really a struggle
there was a lot of lessons though patience was the first one i learnt how to be patient
but having said i have become really impatient these days but patience is something that i learnt and i also learnt
jitna paka kr tum khana khaoge utna swaad banta hai so yeah put time exactly you have to put time
having said how many rejections you have faced in those many years
what is the meanest thing said to you meanest things there was a lot of mean things man
and a lot of mean things comes from the people who are closest to you like i was
madly in love with this girl i was 3 years probably 3 years when i fell in love with her
and you know she was with me and she left me because she thought it was not a proper career choice
see this is the real struggle i had to sacrifice a lot i had to sacrifice my friends i had to sacrifice the parties
i had to sacrifice my parents i had to sacrifice my family stay away from them
work i sacrificed a part of you Aditya yeah for Badhshah but like you said you sacrificed
a lot for this but when you were making the sacrifice like this
when your girlfriend left you childhood love matlab 3 years ka
20 20 years ka relationship how did it affect you music was my savior music helped me
it sounds cliche but music was me medicine but music became my friend
music became my girlfriend my party everything was for the music
has stardom ever hit you have you ever thought that oh this is hitting me
it happens to most people when they are a budding they became a star on their way
a lot of actors have affected by the stardom but have you will come to that but i know
but honestly i don't know how i don't know how stardom
hits a person i don;t know i don't know if it hits me there has not been many changes
in my life except for the cars and the shoes and the clothes and the house off course
but its i think i am still the same i think i have become lil more impatient now
i think i am over ambitious and i think mere pass jayda time nahi hai
that is why i don't sleep al ot i can't i can't talk a lot matlab mai sun raha hu sun raha hu i'll kaam ki baat ho rahi hai matlab
agar nahi baat ho rahi i'll sleep Nayan if you don't talk to me for 5 minutes i will sleep right now
phele i used to read books i can't even read books now which is sad because i really
want to read books but now i don't have the patience to read books i
will rather go and watch a documentary how did see or perceive the changes around you
see in the bitterest of the people in turn into sweetest rasmalai bro
i mean rishtedaar i mean the same people who used to mere parents ka jeena
mushkil kardiya karte the because of me ab now wanting their children to become
like me they are sending their children with me to me everyone everyone my teachers
school teachers who thought i had amount of nothing i i have seen
people changing like this and i was like really amazed i was like success success name money does this
and i mean like i still the same person you know a lot of people don't know
that you actually start with a boy band which has also had honey singh if i am not wrong
yeah yeah yeah when did you start that it was back in 2006-2007
yeah and yeah so we were together till up to like 2012 and when it when it actually dissolve
did it affect you it did a group its like comfort zone for you right
it's like a team and suddenly you have to play solo so it did affect me in that way
but you know it also helped me and it is something that i wanted to do
it's a natural progression yeah right and and that is what happened and thank god
i am here i could have been any where after that but i think god has been very kind
people have been really kind and i but i got lot of support from everyone
specially the industry and here i am man you know Badshah one thing you got lot of recognition as well
in the last few years because of the songs and raps there was
point i read somewhere that you said that something that affected to you
a lot is that when people said that oh you could make a mark because somebody
else specially hon honey was out of the scene how did you deal with that
it effects you man when people completely forgot your talent
off course i mean see i have full faith in what i do a lot alot of people asked me if
are you insecure there's a new talent and which makes me feel old by the way
i still consider myself new but i have i am i am really happy
with where the singers are going on i am really happy with all these
young kid coming Divine everyone i am really happy with guru's success
i am really happy with Neha i really happy with everyone success
as long as i am successful i am really happy with everyone success
i'll be lying if i tell you i read comments i read really i do
i do read comments see that's a feedback but you know i have learnt
to accept that some people some comments of some people you should just you
should just not worry about yeah but what about trolls
like you said you read comments yeah do they get to you
or do you have some defend some times they get personal you know
sometimes when i am not sometimes when i am live and somebody comes
and starts abusing i abuse him back you abuse them back
it's one on one i mean it's social media if you are telling me to do
something i'll tell you to do something as well bro mai Delhi se hoon eventually
talking about Karan you were supposed to debut with his film

it happened very amicably raj whose the director of the film
is an amazing guy he is gotta very clear vision and i am really happy
for the sort of film that he's made i have scene the few rushes

on screen it's gonna be if it's a yorker from one side
it can be six from the other side it's gonna be amazing man
