Baba Sehgal says he’s not made for Bollywood

Rapper-composer Baba Sehgal, who is known for tracks like Thanda Thanda Paani and Dil Dhadke, says he is not made for Bollywood.

Sehgal was speaking on the second season of Talking Music on Saavn, a music and audio streaming service.

“I’m not made for Bollywood. Bollywood has never gotten along with me. It’s always been a little scared and insecure. Before Thanda Thanda Paani, I had gone to Bappi Lahiri’s bungalow to give him my cassette. He heard my song and said it’s nice, I will call you when it’s time. I used to wonder how will you call me when you don’t have my number,” Sehgal said in a statement.

“Bappi ji’s father was alive then, and he was a very nice person. He was like how all fathers are... He used to feel no artist should go hungry from their home. This was a special trait of Bappi ji’s family. Whenever you go there, you return with your stomach full which was such an amazing thing,” he added.
