Badshah Bhai is a huge fan of the ultimate Baadshah of India – Shahrukh Khan. He believes he too is a huge superstar like his idol – King Khan and thinks that Bheegi Billi is the biggest loser.

Badshah Bhai loves the singing style of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and tries to sing the popular Bollywood songs in his own peculiar style.

The Betel Nuts in their free time are Badshah Bhai’s backing band.

Chahoon banna rock star
Rehna na chahoon bekaar

Par, Haath pair jab bhi maroon
Ban jata hoon Main khud shikaar.

Main hoon Bheegi Billi. They named me, college mein. I have few friends, my guitar and my Phati-kismet. Dono have been there with me at each step of my life. My dear friend, Phati-kismet is ekdam loyal to me.
When I go shopping, the shelves are empty. When I order for a coffee, dusht fly jumps in, to taste it first. When I offer my chahtri to a girl, the rain stops. When I am in a big hurry, the traffic signal turns red. All these signs showcase the strong bond I share bad luck ke saath.
I have no one to express my feelings to, except my Guitar. I sing all my worries to it. My Shattered sapna of becoming a guitarist, bad at studies, unsuccessful in love, unromantic life, everything is ab a tragic song. But nothing can stop me from singing. So catch me with a tune in the mouth and a tear in the eye.

We humbly greet you and take this opportunity to introduce ourselves to you. Ourselves, The Betel Nuts and we hail from the city of culture – Lucknow. Adab to you too, Sir! You now find us in the city of Mumbai, aspiring students in search of higher education. Mind you, in a short span of time, we have started liking the city. We have taken to it like a tortoise to water, sorry, fish. And we have become the epitome of ‘cool’. So now we request you to lend your ears to our music and stay in rapture in it.

You will find our compositions and songs very cool. And, not to forget, very original. But if you were to offer your comments and feedback, we will be much in appreciation of you.
Thank you.
With warm wishes,
The cool 4,
The Betel Nuts.

And on the passing note:
Door se dekha tho ande unchal rahe the
Pass ja ke dekha ganje uchal rahe the
Cool Cool Doodh Doodh
Nice… no?

About Bade & Chote
Idhar ka whole public calls me Chote and him Bade. Bade is my college senior. :)

Faced with many speed breakers, Bade was soon in my class.Now we are ekdam Ram-Lakshman maafik. Bade is really cool. His bungalow is Full Rapchik, located in an upmarket locality.

I live at his place only.
I have infinite questions. And Bade is my only listener. He is blessed with patience. At times, he finds my talk ekdam bakwas. But his irritation is apun ka FUN!

Abi enough! Before Bade screams, BAKWAAS BANDH KAR! Apun kalti marta hai. To know more about us, read our slam book. It includes my B’day and my sun sign and things I like. By the way, I love gifts.
One more sawaal before I leave. Tu kisi ko pakaya kabhi? I am sure you have. Dekh! Don’t lie! Abhi chal, tell me. I’ll experiment tera idea on Bade. That too on TV. Then see kaisa fun aayega.
