He fidgets with the chunky gold chain around his neck, which has become a style statement. "People would tell me, 'Tera galaa khaali khaali dikh raha hai', so I started wearing it," says the big daddy of rapping, Badshah, as we catch up with him during the shooting of the music video of his track, 'Move Your Lakk', at a Goregaon studio. But he usually sticks to just one chain or two, and doesn't overdo it, like the legendary Bappi Lahiri. "There is this image of a rapper, a cool dude. Though in the West, they wear everything oversized and loose, I prefer a more European, and Italian-kind of styling. Lots of jackets, overcoats and sweaters, and let's not forget the cap," he adds.
