  Speaker 6: Charlotte Dawson, who comes to us this morning.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: How are you today, Charlotte?
• 18:47
  Speaker 19: This is UN News Today with me, Charlotte Dawson. The headlines.
• 18:51
  Speaker 22: Repeated attacks on humanitarian warehouses in Ukraine are putting medical
• 18:56
  Speaker 22: aid at risk, the World Health Organization warns following the
• 18:59
  Speaker 22: latest strike.
• 19:01
  Speaker 19: The UN and partners launched a.
• 19:03
  Speaker 22: Nearly $ 50 million appeal to support people affected by the
• 19:07
  Speaker 22: catastrophic floods in Nepal. And a new human rights report
• 19:11
  Speaker 22: documents forced displacement from three Palestinian refugee camps in the
• 19:16
  Speaker 22: West Bank. We begin in Ukraine, where an overnight air
• 19:22
  Speaker 22: attack in the Kiev region affected one of the World
• 19:25
  Speaker 22: Health Organization, or WHO's, main warehouses storing humanitarian medical supplies.
• 19:32
  Speaker 22: This marked the third attack on the WHO storage facility
• 19:36
  Speaker 22: in the last three months. Here's spokesman Christian Lindmayer speaking
• 19:40
  Speaker 22: to journalists in Geneva.
• 19:42
  Speaker 23: The attacks are part of a broader pattern affecting humanitarian
• 19:45
  Speaker 23: operations across the country. In 2026, at least 2026, 20
• 19:50
  Speaker 23: attacks have affected warehouses storing humanitarian supplies, including 15 attacks
• 19:56
  Speaker 23: on warehouses holding health-related humanitarian supplies.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 20:00
  Speaker 22: Lenmayer said humanitarian medical supplies are a lifeline for people
• 20:05
  Speaker 22: who need healthcare in frontline and hard-to-reach areas. and attacks
• 20:09
  Speaker 22: on warehouses storing them can delay or disrupt the delivery
• 20:13
  Speaker 22: of essential health support to those who need it most.
• 20:17
  Speaker 22: He stressed that the locations of United Nations and WHO
• 20:21
  Speaker 22: facilities and warehouses are known to all parties to the
• 20:24
  Speaker 22: conflict as they are communicated through established arrangements. The United
• 20:29
  Speaker 22: Nations and partners have launched a $ 49. 6 million project emergency
• 20:35
  Speaker 22: appeal to deliver support to more than 84,000 people affected
• 20:40
  Speaker 22: by the devastating flash floods and landslides in Nepal. The
• 20:45
  Speaker 22: four-month response plan, announced on Friday in Kathmandu, addresses critical
• 20:50
  Speaker 22: operational gaps identified by the government to prevent further hardship
• 20:54
  Speaker 22: and disease outbreaks as winter approaches in the mountainous Himalayas region.
• 21:00
  Speaker 19: Leela Peters-Yohia reports.
• 21:02
  Speaker 22: UN resident coordinator in Nepal, noted that families have lost everything.
• 21:07
  Speaker 22: Their loved ones, their homes, their livelihoods, which she said
• 21:11
  Speaker 22: were swept away in minutes. The response focuses on essential
• 21:15
  Speaker 22: humanitarian needs across multiple sectors. For example, families will receive
• 21:21
  Speaker 22: direct cash transfers to buy essential goods, a move that
• 21:24
  Speaker 22: will also help boost local economies. Humanitarians will also distribute
• 21:29
  Speaker 22: cold-weather shelter materials before winter sets in, as well as
• 21:33
  Speaker 22: portable solar units, so households that are off the electricity
• 21:37
  Speaker 22: grid can have power and light. Other operations include restoring
• 21:42
  Speaker 22: damaged water networks, deploying purification systems and delivering hygiene supplies
• 21:47
  Speaker 22: to prevent the spread of waterborne illnesses. The catastrophic flooding
• 21:52
  Speaker 22: was triggered by a glacier collapse on 26 August.
• 21:55
  Speaker 19: More than 1,250.
• 21:57
  Speaker 22: People have been killed, according to latest figures, and thousands
• 22:01
  Speaker 22: more remain missing. Israeli security forces forcibly displaced the entire
• 22:07
  Speaker 22: Palestinian populations of three refugee camps in the occupied West
• 22:12
  Speaker 22: Bank in January and February 2025. They continue to prevent
• 22:17
  Speaker 22: their return, which violated international law, according to a new
• 22:21

• 22:40
  Speaker 22: the Jenin, Nur Shams and Tolkerim refugee camps. Israeli forces

  Speaker 22: went door to door ordering residents to leave. Some displaced
• 22:50
  Speaker 22: Palestinians told OHCHR that Israeli officers said there would be
• 22:55
  Speaker 22: no more refugee camps and that they should all go
• 22:58
  Speaker 22: to Jordan. By October 2025, 52% of structures in Jenin
• 23:03
  Speaker 22: refugee camp, 48% in Nershams and 36% in Tarkarim refugee
• 23:10
  Speaker 22: camp have been destroyed or damaged. The report underscored that large-scale,

  Speaker 22: long-term and systematic displacement of over 33,000 Palestinians from refugee
• 23:24
  Speaker 22: camps during the Iron War military operation, raises serious concerns
• 23:29
  Speaker 22: of the crime against humanity, a forcible transfer.

• 30:06
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: Thank you for having me on the show.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Really excited to share a bit of my journey and
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: what all is coming.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: In the future.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: This is really exciting for us. We've been watching your story,
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: my man, and I consider you a very interesting mix
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: of culture in one package.
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: And, you know, Bali, I.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: I wanted to start by asking you a question and
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: in the same process, ask you a little bit about your,
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: your background and your story of how you got into this.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: But I always find that somebody that mixes hip hop
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: specifically with comedy at some point, um, made the decision
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: that they're just going to do that. They were going
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: in one direction in their mind and one day they said,
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: you know what, I'm just going to be me. And
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: then they just start to be them and then they
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: go in that direction and it just works.
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: What was that like for you? And did that happen
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: to you?
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: So exactly what happened was like, I started making music
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: and I used to be inspired by the legends of
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: the game, like Bohemia or The other artists and in
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: India at that time, everybody was following the commercial rap structure.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Like there'll be a verse, everybody will drop and they'll
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: talk about booze, girls.
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: I get it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Nobody knew how to do hip hop and people were
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: trying their level best. I used to copy all the artists.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: I've deleted all that music, by the way, which I'm
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: talking about.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: So one fine day, nothing was working because this is
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: like at least 11, 12 years ago. Nothing was working
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: and I could not find my style.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: So I am a.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Very sarcastic or a very witty guy.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: From birth. So I don't try to be funny. I
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: am funny. So that is what worked for me.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: And one fine day I was fed up with everything
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: and I was like, no, I just want to do
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: what I'm best at.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: And I just took an online beat. and wrote some
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: lyrics on it and I went to my friend and.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: He was like, this is who you are. This is
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: what you should do. This is your personality. So, from
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: my point of view, if you want to survive in
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: the hip-hop scene, now the hip-hop scene is too big
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: in India. And there are many, many rappers and why
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: many people do not I'm not able to find the
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: footing is because everybody's trying to copy or is inspired
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: by somebody, but you should be inspired. Like I'm inspired
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: by 50 Cent, Snoop, Eminem, Biggie Smalls and all those
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: hip hop artists. I used to listen to West Coast
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: hip hop a lot. Like I still believe I like,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: I love Snoop. So obviously the artists that everybody listens to.
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's everywhere by the way. So I just
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: wanted to.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Have a unique approach and that is how I found
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: my style after I was fed up. with what was
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: going on with my own music, I just started writing
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: what I felt like. I didn't want to copy anybody.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to talk about booze or chicks. I
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: wanted to talk about booze and chicks, but in my
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: own way.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: So that is how it worked for me.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Did you ever find that, you know, being naturally funny
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: as you describe it to be, how did you bottle
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: that into a song? Was there like a formula that
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: you had to adopt in order to bring the punchline
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: to the verse or... was it just in your storytelling
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: it just came about how did that.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Happen so so uh i just wrote what i wanted
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: to write and with that i did one thing like
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: uh so i never studied nobody studies rap and everything
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: right so i just wanted to write whatever i wanted
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: whatever was in my head i just wrote everything down
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: and as it was coming and slowly slowly i uh
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: understood uh what the structure is how it should be
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: like how the bar should end everything i used to
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: listen to a lot of hip-hop music so That helped
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: me a lot to understand how the song is going
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: to be structured.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: I just wrote what came into my head and see,
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Very much inspired by Eminem and his Slim Shady persona.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: And you can say that I have different sides to me.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: But what India likes, what the.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Desi hip-hop community in itself likes is the sarcastic or
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: witty humor that I put out.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: So I'm just having fun with that.
• 33:59
  Speaker 26: Yeah, I.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Whenever I watched your work, I was completely convinced that
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: everything was authentic, that there was no way that this
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: man could be faking this because it was showing up
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: in every discipline in your identity across the board. And
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: it was a way of not only the delivery, but
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: the style and the package in terms of. You know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: the culture you're carrying. And for me, I've seen that
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: persist in the work that you've done here. But I
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: wanted to ask you about the industry overall. You know,
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: you touched on the Indian hip-hop scene. Tell me about
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: that generally. What is it doing right and what is
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: it doing wrong right now for artists like you to succeed?
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: Even for the younger kids.
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: So, from my point of view, the famous beef that
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: happened in India, it ignited the whole hip-hop scene.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: And I think that beef was necessary so that everybody knows.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: So, what the Indian community thrives on is on masala,
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: as we call it, or entertainment. So, they I loved
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: that beef, two people fighting, everybody got into that. Oh,
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: he's calling him that, he's calling him that.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: Even I loved that beef. And I was talking to
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: Riftar at that time, but I loved everybody who was
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: dissing each other. I was having fun.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: So now what is happening? So that was the boom
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: time for hip hop and people started earning money. I
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: started earning money for the first time in 2019 from YouTube.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: And that was a big thing. I remember COVID was
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: just on its first.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Phase or the initial phase. And I was earning a
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: lot of money. Why?
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Because the beef had happened. So that hit the hip
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: hop scene a lot. But nowadays, if you ask me
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: what is happening is like.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: People in India. So the hip hop scene is still
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: doing very good.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: But what is happening is that new kids these days
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: are just following one pattern or one flow that they
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: feel like, ah, this is good. This is, we will
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: go with this. And this is working.
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: Okay. This is working. We'll do this. So this is, I.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Try to tell people, like, I'm not trying to be
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: some kind of a guru or anything, but I try
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: to tell people that follow your own style. If something
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: is working for somebody, that means he was meant or
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: she was meant for that. And you don't need to
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: copy the other person.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: Why I think you're a guru. I'll tell you why.
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: There is the future of this industry that I think
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: that you are displaying and demonstrating for everybody, which is
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: they must be larger than their music. And what you
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: have been able to do is you've been able to
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: utilize not only your work that you've done, of course,
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: with Amazon and these great shows that you're a part of,
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: but then also connected back to the music. And you
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: have created an ongoing dialogue for yourself out there in
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: the public. And I think that's something that the artists
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: of this next generation must have in their DNA if
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: they're going to be successful. So to me, what you're
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: doing in that level, you're a guru. Do you see
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: yourself that way?
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: So I first of all agree with you on that
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: fact that you have to sell the story and you
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: have to sell the character along with the music. So
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: I'll again be going back to the fact that why
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I idolize 50 Cent, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, these guys. Because
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: they have a brand value. 50 at the age of
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: 51 or 52, I don't know exactly.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: He still is relevant. Snoop Dogg, he's still relevant. How? Why?
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Because they built a story around it. They sold their
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: character very well they started doing business around their work
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: around their music see music will be there for the
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: next 15 20 30 years or the time you are
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: very very hot in the market but you have to
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: sell yourself as a commodity that is what I did
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: when I went to those TV shows I did a
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: couple of reality captive reality shows the I was very
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: skeptical of doing it. The first one boomed way, way, way, way,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: way too much.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: And so what happened.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Was everybody from the age group of 15 to 65
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: became a fan. So 15, like I remember it was
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Diwali time. I came from the first captive reality show
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: I did last year. It's not even been an year yet.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: I remember I was just parking my car, a family
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: comes out of the car and everybody from the age
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: group of 12 to 65 is a fan.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: How?
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Because the grandmother used to love me in the TV
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: show and the kids were fans of music and the
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: guy in the middle.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: Was a fan of both. So this is how it helps.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: And how it helps also, many people, many rappers or
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: artists go to reality shows, but things don't work for them.
• 38:29
  Speaker 20: Why?
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: Because they're not authentic or true to themselves.
• 38:33
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: This is what I wanted. I wanted to go on
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: the show. I was like, if people are going to
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: love me, they're going to love me for who I am.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: And if people do not like a certain thing or
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: certain things about me, I'll change it. But I'll not
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: change my personality overall just to get into the finale
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: or just.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: To get into somebody's good books for some votes. So
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: these shows generally rely on votes. I was like, no,
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: I'll be me. And that is what happened. People love
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: me for being me. And this is what I tell people.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: Tell your story. Tell yourself as a commodity.
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's excellent advice.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: And brother, as I was saying, as the Guru Bali does,
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: so should you. Because I think, as I was saying
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: to you, you represent that new industry. You know, when
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: you look at the work that you've done, whether it
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: is on MTV Hustle as a judge and you sat
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: in front of these kids and you've talked to them
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: about the work that they're doing, what is something that
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: you find yourself saying a lot to them? I i
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: would imagine it is you know go find your own
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: identity and stick to that right but beyond that from
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: the actual artistic from the actual talent perspective of being
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: a vocalist or a lyricist what do you find yourself
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: telling these kids more than not find your own voice.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: That is what I tell everybody. Like you have to
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: have a USP. You have to.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Do something that is very unique and you have to write.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: So I, what I do, I take a lot of
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: time to write because I don't, I just don't want
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: to like end the bar with like, if like I
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: am this, this, like this, I'm to do this, this,
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: like this. I don't want to use the word like
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: or Jessa.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: In Hindi that they use. I don't want to use that.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: I want to paint a story. I want to say something.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: So abusing is not something new in hip-hop now.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: Everybody has abused.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: But you need to abuse in a very fun or
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: a very different way. Because you cannot just go and
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: straight away say that line. So I just try to
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: be unique. I take a lot of time to write
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: my bars, the lines, whatever you want to call it.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: So I just tell everybody, just be unique. Be different.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Have something that people come back and listen to you.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Because they should want like, okay, he is different.
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: I want to listen to him for this particular aspect
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: that he's good at.
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: I think, Bali, that's fabulous advice. And for all the
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: artists out there, they should definitely pick up on that.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: I wanted to turn our attention towards your independent work
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: that you're putting out here. And specifically, you know, what
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: we should expect from you. But, you know, when you
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: say that you're ushering in a new generation of of
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: Dilly hip hop or of Indian hip hop. How does
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: this work fall into that vision of yours?
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: So currently, I'm working on my album. But before that,
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: I'll be dropping. So I'll be touching every aspect of
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: hip hop.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: I'll be going towards commercial.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: I'll be doing my own sarcastic approach or the fun
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: approach I have.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: And some hard-hitting tracks as well. So going into the future,
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: I'll be dropping.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: So I have another very intricate, very nice concept. like
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: you must have seen that Shero Shirey that goes on
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: yeah and people are like so that is the concept
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: you listen to it like I think October 1st or
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: 2nd week it's a very fun concept it's like it's
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: a match between Shero Shirey and Battle Rap right like
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: I'm just dropping bars and everybody will be so it's
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: kind of that kind of concept and after that I'll
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: be dropping a couple of commercial tracks followed by.
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: My album oh this is great that's very cool what
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: do you like better do you like being in front
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: of the camera or in the microphone booth Both.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: I love both. I, so I've been used to now
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: being in front of the camera a lot after the
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: TV shows that I did, but I love both. I
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: like to act as well sometimes. So you must've seen
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: my videos. I try to play every character as many
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: characters as possible.
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: And so that is what I do.
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: In Alliance, the show you have coming up here on,
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: on Amazon that you did and, and you know, it's
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: a captive reality show as you put it.
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: Do you find yourself changing personalities?
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: As you go from these dynamics, is it the different
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: people that pull out the different things from you?
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: How does that work?
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: So I did, uh, the first reality show that I did, uh,
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: nine months back was rise and fall. And, uh, that was,
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: I think the French or a Dutch show.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: I don't remember exactly. That was a concept that they
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: brought in India. And, uh, that, uh, in that.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: Show and in Alliance as well, uh, right now, I
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: think that, uh, Ended like a month ago.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: I was on Prime. Amazon Prime.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: So what I did was I was just me. I
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: never tried to be anything else. You have to get
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: into somebody's good books for a couple of votes. I
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: changed myself like 5 to 10%. That's it. 90% I
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: was who I am.
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: That's great. That's so funny.
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: Bobby, I love to answer, ask this question on the
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: way out for you. For a lot of artists and
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: people that I speak to here on this You know,
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: I have a feeling I know what you're going to say,
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: but the advice that I always ask of you would
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: be if you were to speak to yourself as the
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: young kid that was coming out of Delhi, what would
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: you have told yourself right now in the moment that
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: you are to that young kid that would have helped
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: him get through whatever he was going through in that moment?
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying that keep doing what you're doing right
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: now because it's eventually going to fall in place and
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: you're going to earn a lot of money.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: So don't worry. At the end of the day, it's
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: all money. You need, you need to respect everything. That
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: guy must be happy. I'll just tell him like you, you,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: you will get everything that you want. Just keep doing
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: what you're doing and be happy. I love it. I
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: love it. Um, yeah.

  Speaker 1: To Bali for joining us this morning.
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: Really enjoyed that conversation.
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: Bali is very astute. You get that he knows what
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: he's doing there. A tremendous amount of confidence, as you
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: would expect from him, given the character that he plays
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: out there. But now, after that interview, you get the
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: feeling that that's just who he is.
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: Very safely. What's up, Dorita?
• 47:38
  Speaker 20: Thanks, Sammy.
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: Hey, everyone.
• 47:40
  Speaker 20: This is Dorita Deshgupta, your Ruckus Avenue Radio music correspondent,
• 47:44
  Speaker 20: back with some fun facts about your favorite artists. Today,
• 47:47
  Speaker 20: we're spotlighting a true musical genius, Amit Trivedi. Amit Trivedi
• 47:52
  Speaker 20: redefined Bollywood music with his unique style. From his breakthrough
• 47:55
  Speaker 20: in Death D that earned him a National Film Award
• 47:57
  Speaker 20: to unforgettable tracks like Gudan, Queen, and Man Marzian, this
• 48:01
  Speaker 20: man knows how to create magic across genres. And it's
• 48:04
  Speaker 20: not slowing down. Recently, Amit dropped the album Azad Collab
• 48:07
  Speaker 20: with tracks like Velo Velo, Kirti Ronak, blending traditional vibes
• 48:11
  Speaker 20: with the modern twist. Plus, the song Essa Mein Shaitan
• 48:14
  Speaker 20: from Shaitan is already a hit. Amit's ability to connect
• 48:17
  Speaker 20: diverse musical worlds is what makes him a standout. Whether
• 48:20
  Speaker 20: it's a soulful melody or edgy beat, he's got it
• 48:23
  Speaker 20: all covered. Well, that's all from me. Now back to you, Sammy.
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: I always sing the praises of Amit Rivedi. You know,
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: that's another gentleman that we got to pull into this
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: show for a conversation. I have a lot to ask him.
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: The musical genius that he is. This song is called Jinarose.
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: Played a single from Amitravedi.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Jinarose, gulzarose.
• 48:50
  Speaker 21: Saufedo ki kataaro se Dheera se zara Hale se zara
• 48:59
  Speaker 21: Kachi kachi doop le aayi subhaa Resham resham roop le
• 49:10
  Speaker 21: aayi subhaa Kacha sa nasha Holek holek pigla hai Kacha.
• 49:25
  Speaker 28: Sa dua Kachi kachi dhoop le aayi subha Resham Resham
• 49:37
  Speaker 28: Roop Le Aai Subha.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 50:53
  Speaker 21: Chinnaro se gulzaro se Safedo ki kataro se Dheeraise zara,
• 51:05
  Speaker 21: holaise zara Kachi kachi dhoop le aayi sabha Raisham raisham
• 51:13
  Speaker 21: roop le aayi.
• 51:15
  Speaker 7: Sabha I'm a triveti.
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: The song called Chinarose. I did enjoy that conversation with Bali,
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: and I specifically, I may have been joking with him,
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: but I kind of am not, as I was thinking
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: about calling him, as I was calling him guru, right?
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: Because of how he has gone about himself. And in
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: terms of really making himself wider than just the music
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: that he's putting out, he's given narrative and context to
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: his character out there.
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: So shout out to Bali. I'm going to come back
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: with some closing remarks.
• 52:25
  Speaker 12: Paisa te paise na poore shaun Raja raaji naame tera
• 52:29
  Speaker 12: ji ni kaake taun Puhuhe te jaake wehri de karda

• 52:39

• 52:41
  Speaker 7: Na pali Pinti.
• 52:42
  Speaker 12: Chali rengde naali Pahde sahayali naali Kole kast me bantali
• 52:46
  Speaker 12: Ho na rola jinne khali Bande hunde ne o jhali
• 52:49
  Speaker 12: Mainu mape mere kahinde Chagi naalo todhi khali Ohi mani
• 52:53
  Speaker 12: kha nepali Naame naara piche ghali I am the world,
• 52:56
  Speaker 12: my whole life is full of abuses, abuses and abuses
• 52:59
  Speaker 12: That's why I became a man, why did I become
• 53:01
  Speaker 12: a woman?
• 53:14
  Speaker 12: She says,
• 53:18
  Speaker 12: listen to this girl, she lives for me, she lives
• 53:21
  Speaker 12: her life to the fullest.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: She says, sit down, you have come ahead of everyone.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: She says, don't get too excited.
• 53:28
  Speaker 12: I'm not in a hurry. She says, Jaggi ji, how
• 53:31
  Speaker 12: much did you like your Shabbir? The soul was like
• 53:35
  Speaker 12: a genie, someone was sitting in the first row. That's
• 53:38
  Speaker 12: why the boy is there, and the girl is there.
• 53:40
  Speaker 12: The money goes to the shop, and the money is
• 53:42
  Speaker 12: not complete. Raja Raji is in the name of you.
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: One of the songs that we've been playing here lately
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: on the bridge. Shout out to Bali. And let me
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: tell you guys what you just heard. What I found
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: in Bali was awareness. A man who knows exactly who
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: he is. Humble about the art form he's engaged in.
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: But absolutely clear about his greatest asset. His identity.
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: And he told you that himself. He doesn't try to
• 54:20
  Speaker 7: be funny. He is funny.
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: And he figured out early in his journey that his
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: wit would walk him through the door. But don't let
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: that funny man stuff fool you. Listen to the way
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: he articulates his character, all the way down to his lyrics,
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: down into the production that they sit on top of.
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: That's a parade of his talents, moving past you like
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: a military procession. The arsenal is clear. But humor, humor
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: is the bullet. and understand why Bali matters beyond the music.
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: He is the future of what an artist has to
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: do to create narrative nowadays. He took that unmistakable identity
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: into television, and he changed, by his own account, 5%.
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: The rest stayed Bali. And a whole family in a
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: parking lot on Diwali, 12 years old to 65, became
• 55:08
  Speaker 6: fans of the same man, completely for different reasons. That's
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: what honesty does when you deploy it. And for that,
• 55:16
  Speaker 6: you have to commend him. Because you're not just looking
• 55:19
  Speaker 6: at an artist at work. You're looking at a man
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: who figured out that his own authentic self is the
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: greatest weapon he possesses. What can't be faked can't be shaken.
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: Bali is a living manifestation of a simple law. What
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: is authentic will win, regardless of the art form. He
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: connected all of it, the television, the music, the character,
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: through one line. Authenticity is efficient. And when you're efficient,
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: you're dangerous. And to be funny, ladies and gentlemen, you
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: have to be dangerous. That's Bali, and you heard it
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: here on the bridge. Have a great day, everybody.
• 55:56
  Speaker 7: I'll see you tomorrow.
• 56:08
  Speaker 26: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Sukha ke paun nal pairan to rati chaad ke
