'Shubhaarambh' singer was replaced by Diljit in 'Bads of Bollywood'?
What's the story
The viral track Tainu Ki Pata from Aryan Khan's Ba***ds of Bollywood was originally sung by Divya Kumar (Shubhaarambh, Jee Karda). In a recent interview with Digital Commentary, Kumar revealed that he was replaced in the final version but refused to accept compensation from Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. In the show, the song highlights Avtaar's (Manoj Pahwa) dream of becoming a playback singer.
Emotional decision
Kumar on being replaced by Dosanjh
Kumar revealed, "I had received a great opportunity from Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. It was for Aryan Khan's Ba***ds of Bollywood." "I had originally sung Tainu Ki Pata, but later they replaced it with Diljit Dosanjh's voice. They offered me an insane amount of money to compensate, but I refused to take it."
Personal connection
'I was inspired by SRK'
Kumar's refusal to accept compensation was rooted in his admiration for Khan. He said, "It was SRK who made me. I was inspired by him." "Every time I was rejected from a show or competition, I would go outside Mannat and cry my heart out. He gave me the strength to move forward." "Like how others believe there's a divine energy guiding them, for me, that energy is SRK."
