Four years ago when Indeep Bakshi composed the track lsquoSaturday Saturdayrsquo all he wanted to do was tease his girlfriend who was obsessed with clubbing every weekend I made this song in masti fun Back in 201012 clubbing became an obsession with Delhi girls Irsquod keep hearing from them lsquoChalo Saturday party karne chalte hainrsquo lsquoPar Saturday kab aayegarsquohellipTheyrsquod go on and on about Saturday he laughs The Delhi lad composed the track in Punjabi with lyrics that went lsquoKudi Saturday Saturday Kardi rendi eh Kudi Saturday Saturdayrsquo and released as a singleIndeep BakshiIn 2013 during a party at Shah Rukh Khanrsquos house Mannat Karan Johar heard the Punjabi song and decided to include it in his film lsquoHumpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniarsquo featuring Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt I couldnrsquot believe my ears when the production company called me to say that they want my song for their next movie smiles Bakshi an architectturnedmusicianThree years down the line the 25yearold has become a sensation with chartbusters like Kala Chashma a song from the Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra starrer Baar Baar Dekho that he has sung with Badshah Other hits are Tere Liye from Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend and 36 Aayengi 36 Jayengi a Punjabi single The rap that Irsquove sung in Kala Chashma was earlier used in my song lsquoDonrsquot look at mersquo from the album lsquoBillionairersquo in 2013 It is slow and easy to understand Irsquom not making something which people need to try hard to emulate he says The lyrics he reveals are usually culled out of conversations and peppered with slang The pronunciations might be flawed but I let them go because that is how I speak Karan Johar wanted me to tweak the lyrics of Saturday and make it in Hindi I stayed adamant because I believe in my musicBakshirsquos clear that his songs like Booty Shake and Botal are for the partyloving milleanials with a good dose of cars bikes and of course glamorous women in skimpy clothes in it His new song Bad Wali Feeling with Neha Kakkar has crossed 4 million views till now Zee Music approached me to compose a promotional track for a Sunny Leone movie And when somebody mentions Sunny bad waali feelings aati hai you feel naughty But we made it clear that the video content is strictly for 18 plus he says But the song that features Bakshi romancing a bikiniclad foreigner in Dubai has garnered praise and brickbats in equal measure Many were offended because I called it an adult song I havenrsquot done anything vulgar in it Irsquom proud of the song People need to change their mindset We have bigger issues than these songsBakshi who would earlier sport a turban in his songs has now given way to a beanie It so happened that while shooting for a song a glass of alcohol accidentally fell on my kada and turban The turban is a matter of great pride for me and I donrsquot want to disrespect it so I began sporting a beanie he saysBut Bakshi now has Sikh fans criticising him for not wearing a turban in the videos Itrsquos not easy to keep everybody happy But for my Sikh fans Irsquove decided to come up with an urban desi track Singh Honde Badshah Te Kaur Hondi Queen that will see me donning a complete Sikh avatar It will be an ode to our culture
