'No remorse whatsoever': Gangster Goldy Brar's cold confession on Sidhu Moosewala murder; a rival gang angle
N EW DELHI: Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar justified killing popular Sidhu Moosewala by claiming that the popular Punjabi singer "had to face the consequences of his actions. " In a BBC documentary, it was revealed that Lawrence Bishnoi and Moosewala's relationship dated back a long time, and the dreaded gangster used to call the singer from jail, telling him he liked his music. "In his arrogance, he (Moosewala) made some mistakes that could not be forgiven," Brar told the BBC. "We had no option but to kill him. He had to face the consequences of his actions. It was either him or us. As simple as that," he added. Brar, who is also a member of Lawrence Bishnoi gang, said that the "first dispute" between Moosewala and Bishnoi began with a match of Kabaddi in a village in Punjab. Brar said that Moosewala had promoted the tournament which was organised by Bishnoi's rivals - the Bambiha gang. "That's a village our rivals come from. He was promoting our rivals. That's when Lawrence and others were upset with him. They threatened Sidhu and said they wouldn't spare him," Brar said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Help abandoned elders today HelpAge India Donate Now Undo The dispute was resolved by an associate of Bishnoi Vicky Middukhera. Later, Middukhera was himself gunned down by gangsters in Mohali in August 2021, by which point, Bishnoi's hostility towards Sidhu Moosewala reached the point of no return. The Bambiha gang claimed responsibility for killing Middukhera. The police named Moosewala's friend and sometime manager Shaganpreet Singh on the charge sheet, citing evidence that Singh had provided information and logistical support to the gunmen. Singh later fled India and is believed to be in Australia. Moosewala denied any involvement. The Punjab police told the BBC there was no evidence linking Moosewala to the killing or any gang-related crime. But Moosewala was friends with Shaganpreet Singh, and he was never able to shake off the perception that he was aligned with the Bambiha gang — a perception that may have cost him his life. "Everyone knew Sidhu's role, the police investigating knew, even the journalists who were investigating knew. Sidhu mixed with politicians and people in power. He was using political power, money, his resources to help our rivals. We wanted him to face punishment for what he'd done. He should have been booked. He should have been jailed. But nobody listened to our plea," Brar said. "So we took it upon ourselves. When decency falls on deaf ears, it's the gunshot that gets heard. Law. Justice. There's no such thing," he says. "Only the powerful can... (obtain) justice, not ordinary people like us," he added. He went on to say that even Vicky Middukhera's brother, despite being in politics, has struggled to get justice through India's judicial system. "He's a clean guy. He tried hard to get justice for his brother lawfully. Please call him and ask how that's going. I did what I had to do for my brother. I have no remorse whatsoever," he said. Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala, was shot dead in Punjab's Mansa district on May 29. He was killed when he, along with his friend and cousin, was travelling in a jeep to Jawahar Ke village in Mansa. Six shooters waylaid and sprayed bullets at him. After the killing, Goldy Brar, who is a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the act. According to the chargesheet filed in the Moosewala murder case, Goldy coordinated with the shooters and plotters, including Bishnoi and Bhagwanpuria. He allegedly arranged weapons, cash, cars, phones, mobile SIMs and shelters for the accused.

Zohran Mamdani turns New York City mayoral race into Bollywood blockbuster
When Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced his candidacy for New York City mayor last October, he was seen as a long shot. But an affordability-centred messaging and social media-driven campaign sprinkled with Bollywood tadka has propelled the 33-year-old assemblyman to the forefront of the Democratic primary to Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani and acclaimed Indian-American filmmaker Mira Nair, Zohran Mamdani has leaned into his South Asian heritage and captured the attention of younger, immigrant, and working-class New Yorkers with his populist platform and savvy use of Hindi film week, Mamdani dropped a campaign video on X peppered with classic Bollywood film scenes and music. Speaking in Hindi, he explains the voting process, makes the case for affordability, and takes aim at his main rival: former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who is backed by US President Donald Trump. A democratic socialist, Mamdani framed the race as a choice between a people-powered movement and billionaire-backed 2-minute, 23-second video features the iconic scene from Deewar, where Amitabh Bachchan's character Vijay boasts, "Aaj mere paas buildingein hain, property hai, bangla hai, bank balance hai, gaadi hai. Tumhare paas kya hai? (Today I have buildings, property, a bungalow, a bank balance, and a car. What do you have?)."A beat later, Mamdani appears on screen, arms spread in Shah Rukh Khan's signature pose, responding simply: "Aap" (I have the people).Billionaires ke paas already sab kuchh hai. Ab, aapka time already have everything. Now, your time has come. Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@ZohranKMamdani) June 4, 2025advertisementThe message is clear: Mamdani is positioning himself as the candidate of the people, against Cuomo, whom he portrays as emblematic of elite privilege and establishment explain New York's ranked choice voting system, Mamdani borrows Kishore Kumar's voice from Karz and uses glasses of lassi as props: "Hey, have you ever voted for anyone? Have you ever ranked anyone?"This is not your typical New York City mayoral has fused desi pop culture with policy to communicate a progressive vision: free city buses, controlling apartment rents, city-run grocery stores, and a $10 billion tax hike on the ultra-wealthy to pay for it all.'We can guarantee cheaper groceries, we can raise the minimum wage, we can freeze the rent for more than 2 million tenants, and build more than 200,000 affordable homes. We are done settling for less,' he declares in another ad—rooted in the spirit of Roti, Kapda aur Makaan, the 1974 Bachchan-starrer that named the three most basic human ad starts airing are done settling for less. Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@ZohranKMamdani) June 11, 2025With a short-lived career as a hip-hop artist, Mamdani now calls himself the Kendrick Lamar of affordability—intent on sticking to a message that speaks to working-class ke paas already sab kuchh hai. Ab, aapka time aageya (Billionaires already have everything. Now, your time has come)," he says in his video, a callback to the rap anthem from Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt-starrer Gully Mamdani's rise has not come without controversy. His vocal criticism of Israel and advocacy for Palestinian rights have earned him a fair share of has also been branded anti-Hindu for calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "war criminal" with reference to the latter's alleged role in the 2002 Gujarat riots. PM Modi was given a clean chit by a Supreme Court-appointed probe."Narendra Modi helped to orchestrate what was a mass slaughter of Muslims in Gujarat to the extent that [people] don't even believe there are Gujarat Muslims anymore," Mamdani recently said at a forum. "This is someone we should view in the same manner we do Benjamin Netanyahu. This is a war criminal."His Muslim heritage has also drawn vitriol, but Mamdani has turned the attacks into campaign fodder."When you're the first Muslim elected official to run for mayor, people say some pretty wild things," he quipped in a New York City—America's largest metropolis—grappling with a cost-of-living crisis, housing shortages, transit issues, and deep inequality, the next mayor faces enormous challenges. Mamdani, powered by Bollywood swagger and socialist fire, has cast himself as the underdog hero standing up for the little guy.

Deepshikha Nagpal recalls Shah Rukh Khan being rude to her on 'Koyla' set: 'He hurt my ego, later recommended me for Baadshah, yeh unka badappan hai'
Deepshikha Nagpal who is largely known for her television shows has also been a part of many movies like 'Koyla', 'Baadshah', 'Partner' among others. Deepshikha who has worked with Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan spoke about her association with these actors in a recent interview. She confessed that she was a huge fan of SRK and always in awe of him. But she felt he was rude to her on the sets of Rakesh Roshan 's 'Koyla'. Eventually, she thanked him for it because it only helped her perform better and be more dedicated to her work. The actress recalled in an interview with Instant Bollywood, "When Rakesh ji cast me in Koyla, I was all mad for Shah Rukh after watching DDLJ. When Shah Rukh came on the set, my first scene with him was when I had to die in his arms. So, Rakesh ji said, let's do a silent shot first and he was impressed with me because I knew my mark and everything. Acting hi karle nayi ladki, but mujhe mark pataa tha, sab pataa tha. So, when SRK entered and he was smoking, Rakesh ji said, 'You met Deepshikha,' so he said, 'Hi. '. Then Rakesh ji said, "Deepshikha is very good." Shah Rukh said while smoking his cigerrette with attitude, "Ya let's see." Deepshikha further said, "Joh mera ego hurt hua hai. He was so rude. I said, ab toh main karke dikhaungi.

I still can smell his aura, aroma. And then after the shot, I went and sat quietly. We became friends later and then we use to share the same umbrella during rains and all. But after that incident, I used to just concentrate on my work and be dedicated. May be he saw that and recommended my name then for 'Badshah'." Shah Rukh also clarified about this instance with her. She said, "Later when I spoke about him being rude in an interview, he told me, "'No Deepshika. I like my space so I also like giving space to people.' But then I told him, 'Thank you Shah Rukh, for saying, 'Lets see'. So, I could just perform better or else I might have not even been there in 'Koyla'. And then he liked my work so much and recommended me to Ratan ji (Producer Ratan Jain) for Baadshah. " However, SRK never told about it to her. "Ratan ji ne mujhe picture hone ke baad bataya ke Shah Rukh ne mera naam recommend kiya tha. Shah Rukh ne kabhi bola bhi nahi. Yeh uska badappan hai. After that 1-2 films, I couldn't talk to him as I was always in awe of him." Then they became good friends and Deepshikha revaled that SRK even invited her home. "He also told me, 'Come home', but I never went because I used to feel small. I wish I had gone. But now I'm manifesting that I'm going to work with Shah Rukh and Salman very soon again."
