Badshah in love mode
The Hindu
The musician has recently released a romantic single, ‘Jugnu’, with Nikhita Gandhi
“I want to shock my fans with a new sound and song,” says Badshah, a day after the release of his new single ‘Jugnu’ with Nikhita Gandhi and featuring Akanksha Sharma.
And he probably has. Packed with VFX effects, the musician’s latest, which has him singing about love and dancing without his trademark jacket and cap, has garnered more than 10 million views within two days of its release. “The sound is different,” affirms Badshah, who earlier sang ‘Tareefaan’ from Veere Di Wedding. That he has sung a love song is all part of a bigger ‘gameplan’, to do something that fans wouldn’t expect him to. “The love song is not a shock for me because I don’t want to be predictable any more,” he says.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
