00:00The song was the first time when we got it

00:09My voice was quickly cracked, so I used to do a lot of mistakes

00:14My name was also called Bho Bho

00:16Bho means Bho, and Bho means Bho means Bho

00:19So this was my name, because my voice was a little big

00:21Baba, how are you?

00:22When we were in college, we were the useless guys

00:25We never watched it, we never watched it

00:27We never watched it, we never watched it

00:28We never watched it, we never watched it

00:30We never watched it

00:32So I thought, what will happen to us?

00:35I was listening to music in my childhood

00:38Because my father was a composer, a singer

00:41I always lived in music in my house

00:43I mean, the whole circle of friends

00:46I was with them

00:48Every night, there was a feeling

00:50And we used to go and sit and listen

00:54And listen to my stronger rhythm

00:56So sometimes, after the book, the time of the subconscious

00:57I was trying to tune in my life

00:58And my father was loving, so

00:59I thought, whether it works or not

01:00Every day, then feel a new style

01:03To make a new and new song

01:04We used to sing two-three songs

01:05And then song someone to listen to the day

01:07And we used to sing in school

01:08We used to sing to the same song

01:09Especially sangrika

01:11Because he was playing tape recorder

01:12Because his name is a tape recorder

01:13So sometimes he forgets

01:15Or even if he doesn't play tape

01:16Or were all the tape

01:17The tape recorder was a small

01:17And we had recorded cassette

01:19That he recorded the same cassette

01:20However, if it hadn't happened

01:21Then he continued to listen to him

01:22I was listening to Takvika and when she asked the song, she gave it a lot.

01:27I am the most non-musical sadist,

01:33because I didn't have so much music in music,

01:37and my voice started to crack quickly.

01:40So, I used to do a lot of music.

01:43My name was Bhuvudho.

01:45In Bengali, Bhuvudho means Bhuvudha,

01:49and Bhuvudho means Bhuvudho means Bhuvudho means Bhuvudho.

01:51So, this is my name,

01:52because the voice was a little big,

01:53Baba, how are you?

01:55And when Sakvika's voice was a sweet,

01:58so his name was meyaw pushy.

02:00So, these were both names,

02:02for us.

02:03So, you will understand that,

02:05I was not much expected of me

02:08to make myself as a singer.

02:10What do you think?

02:13Your first choice is

02:16It's a good thing.

02:18You can say it.

02:19In the beginning,

02:20what happened was that

02:22I was going with Sakvika

02:24with some composers.

02:25When Sakvika was giving her

02:27audition,

02:28singing and singing,

02:29and we went with them.

02:31So,

02:32we were very disappointed,

02:33because everyone said,

02:34wow, wow, wow,

02:35you are very good.

02:36But,

02:37there was no matter of work,

02:38there was no time to come.

02:40Then,

02:41there was one point,

02:42Sakvika said,

02:43I will not meet anyone.

02:44It's all like that.

02:45So,

02:46at some point,

02:47there was also something

02:48that came in my mind.

02:49I also said,

02:50let's go,

02:51if the time came,

02:52and I said,

02:53that I have something,

02:54I will be able to sing.

02:55But,

02:56I don't want to do this,

02:57I don't want to do this,

02:58that I will say,

03:00that I will listen to the composers

03:01and sing,

03:02that I will sing,

03:03that I will sing,

03:04that I will sing.

03:05But,

03:06luckily,

03:07what happened?

03:08Because,

03:09it started pop,

03:10it started pop.

03:11Pop albums have been made,

03:12and it became popular,

03:13especially after Made in India,

03:15and Bolo Tara Ra,

03:16you know,

03:17it started a new year,

03:18and in this year,

03:19we also went,

03:20and we also had albums,

03:21and people liked it,

03:22and we had a lot of shows,

03:24and we were happy,

03:25that it was fun,

03:26that it was fun.

03:27We were playing playbacks,

03:28we were playing composers,

03:29and we were playing composers,

03:31and sitting in the room,

03:32and sitting in the room,

03:33for hours.

03:34So,

03:35that's why,

03:36in the initial stage,

03:37there was no struggle,

03:38there was no such thing.

03:39My favorite composers,

03:40Jatin Ji,

03:41Lal Ji,

03:42I liked their songs,

03:44so,

03:45I went to them once,

03:46and then,

03:47I stopped going there,

03:48and I thought,

03:49that if it is,

03:50it will happen.

03:51So,

03:52I was enjoying the pop albums,

03:54and the jingles,

03:55was a lot of songs,

03:56slowly,

03:57and slowly,

03:58there was a chance,

03:59when the film was made,

04:01that all new,

04:03all first-timers,

04:05the film was called,

04:07प्यार में कभी-कभी,

04:08Director,

04:10producer was the first time,

04:11actors were all new,

04:12and the comment is,

04:13that from the first time,

04:15he was composed,

04:17and from that film,

04:18he is Vishal Shekhar,

04:19who today,

04:20is the firsthand story,

04:21they are doing so very well,

04:22and in that film,

04:23Dino Maurya,

04:24Sanjay Suri,

04:25Rinqi Khanna,

04:26they came in the first time,

04:28and most of them have done amazingly well.

04:29Aakash Deep Saygal,

04:30they were all there for the first time,

04:32and in that film,

04:33KK and I have also got KK and both of us have done pretty well.

04:48In that film, both of the songs were popular and from the debut, I didn't have to hang on too long.

04:56It was like Saurav Gangulya and Raul Ravid, both of them came in one test

05:01and then both of us were set.

05:04Of course, KK had sung a lot of songs, regional songs, he had done a few,

05:09and I think his big song was of course, Tadap Tadap, but we both started together on the same film.

05:18Your first song, which you have sung on the mic, is your first time.

05:24No, I used to sing jingles from childhood.

05:28It was a biscuit ad first, I think I was about four years.

05:32And a nursery rhyme, a Bengali nursery rhyme, which was in the music of Pita Ji.

05:36And I, Didi and Mummy, it was a family album, you can call it.

05:41So that was the song.

05:43There was a song.

05:44There was an apple, an apple, and a bat wall in the last row.

05:49The sari to sing the song.

05:50There was a catarach after the walk,

05:53And there was a dog once in the background.

05:55There was a dog that was run by a cow.

05:57So it was ABCD,

05:59a sermon called Na Sree Rhyme.

06:01Summer Vacation's Mawja,

06:03Karvo Aajhalla gulla,

06:05La la la la la la la la la la,

06:07Khaborosh all gulla.

06:09It was the same type of songs.

06:11So, what was the first film?

06:14The first one was the first one.

06:17The first song was the first one.

06:19The first one was the first one.

06:22The first one was released by remix.

06:24The first one was the first one for the Zee Cinema.

06:27And it was a lot of people who liked it.

06:29This is Zee Cinema.

06:32It was not a coincidence.

06:34I was doing a video with long hair,

06:36and I was doing a video.

06:38The first one was the first one.

06:41It was a video.

06:46It was a video.

06:49It was also a remix.

06:50It was also a remix.

06:53It was like with Sagarika.

06:57I'll wear denim jeans.

06:59I'll wear denim jeans.

07:01I'll wear the jeans.

07:03I'm your son, you're my son.

07:05I'll wear denim jeans.

07:08I'll wear denim jeans.

07:09I love denim jeans.

07:11It's all like that.

07:13This was the first one was the first one.

07:14Now, this is the first one.

07:15Naujwaan album that was in 96.

07:17Then...

07:18Loveology.

07:19L-O-V-E.

07:20Yeah, in 97.

07:22This is not a choice.

07:23This was a bit about the mood.

07:25This was my mood, right?

07:28Actually, I wrote Loveology before doing the Naujwaan album with Bidu.

07:33I was about 21, 22, so that was the same.

07:37But after Loveology, you might think that there is a time pass song.

07:40But it was a strong thought.

07:43When we were in college, we were the useless guys.

07:46We didn't see any girls, we didn't see anything, we didn't see anything.

07:55They were sitting in the canteen.

07:56If they were drinking tea, they were sitting in the canteen.

07:59So I was thinking, what is our thoughts?

08:01The young girls were coming to bikes.

08:04And in 5 seconds, the girls were sitting there.

08:07I thought, what is this?

08:10What is our girls like?

08:13So that they don't get depressed and make this song for them.

08:18If there is nothing, let's say that you are first in Loveology.

08:23That's it.
