And all Indian men and women folks are OK WITH IT. Is there a limit to the hypocrisy in India? Ladka kare to bhai, dude.

‘I am certainly not a banta ki bottle’
The singer did not take any names of singers or male rappers in the post. In the caption, she wrote: “I don’t have a cage i want to open. I am not doodh malai and I am certainly not a banta ki bottle. Grow the F up already.”

Reacting to the post, when a user commented, “Tumhara character dheela hi hai (You are character dheela).” She schooled the user and replied, “all mediocre frustrated people feel that way.”

Sunidhi Chauhan reinvents Nazia Hassan’s Boom Boom with her fiery voice in this car commercial. Watch

Sunidhi Chauhan’s voice is a tour de force in a recent automobile advertisement, in which she gives her own spin to Nazia Hassan’s vintage track Boom Boom.

If there’s one contemporary singer who could honour late legendary vocalist Nazia Hassan by recreating her disco songs, it’s Sunidhi Chauhan. In a recent car commercial, Sunidhi reinvents Nazia’s iconic 1982 track Boom Boom in her signature firery style.

Boom Boom in new car commercial
In a new commercial, one can hear Sunidhi’s distant echo and a familiar tune at the start. It’s when the female actor gets hold of the steering and hits the accelerator that Sunidhi’s rendition of Boom Boom becomes amply clear. While Nazia had a classic restraint in the original song from her album, Sunidhi make the track her own with her power-packed vocals. At the end of the commercial, we even spot actor Rahul Khanna, smiling at the female actor from a distance during a shoot.

There’s another commercial that features Rahul for the most part, in which a male singer renders a recreated English version of Boom Boom. There’s an English version sung by Sunidhi as well, but it pales in comparison to her rendition of the Hindi one.

The internet was bowled over by her recreation. An Instagram user commented, “Sunidhi voice (fire emojis).” Another wrote, “Amazing choice of 90 hot pop song for the new Breed of Indian EV’s whose gonna dominate the Globe for sure. (red heart and fire emojis).” “Where to get this song in her voice,” read a third comment, while a fourth one stated on similar lines, “They need to release this version of the song.”

Not Sunidhi’s first recreation of Nazia song
Boom Boom isn’t the first Nazia Hassan song that Sunidhi has recreated. She briefly sang the late Pakistani singer’s 1981 hit Disco Deewane, which Nazia sang with her brother Zohaib Hassan. Disco Deewane was recreated by Vishal-Shekhar for a crucial dance sequence in Karan Johar’s 2012 campus caper Student of the Year. While Nazia’s voice was retained for the chorus, Sunidhi stepped in to sing the ‘Disco Deewane’ hook line for Kajol’s cameo in the track.

What Shalini said
“This is a question that I’ve been asking everybody: Why am a I born here? What is my purpose? As a human being, you do your best. My entire acting fee actually goes to a village through UNICEF in Bihar. Everything that I do, all my earnings go to charity. I work diligently with them,” Shalini said.

“Beyond that also, I’ve been trying to create a show about women’s voices, and another one representing Indian culture. However, I have often received feedback that there’s not enough audience to watch these shows. I am ready to show India its culture, the power of women, but the audiences have to be ready. It’s just not about my time, it’s about production and the cost as well,” she added.
