Baba Sehgal recalls getting threat from underworld asking him to stop making music: 'Bollywood was very insecure with me...'

Baba Sehgal revealed Bollywood's insecurities impacted his career. He found recognition in South Indian cinema after feeling sidelined in Bollywood. Sehgal shared he received underworld threats in 1998, warning him to stop singing. Despite the challenges, he continued his career. He also reflected on the turbulence in the entertainment industry during the late '90s. Rapper and music icon Baba Sehgal recently opened up about his challenging journey in the Hindi film industry, revealing how Bollywood's insecurities and industry pressures shaped his career. From feeling sidelined by Bollywood to gaining respect in South Indian cinema, Baba also shared a shocking encounter with the underworld that threatened his passion for music. In a candid chat with Siddharth Kannan, Baba reflected on his journey in regional cinema, sharing that the South Indian film industry gave him the recognition he never quite received in Bollywood. Citing his impressive body of work—including over 250 Telugu songs, 35–40 Tamil tracks, and more than 25 Kannada numbers—he said the South took him seriously and embraced his music. In contrast, he described Bollywood as being insecure about his presence right from the start. Sehgal believes his direct and upfront personality may not have aligned with Bollywood's expectations. He recalled how music directors would reach out to him, but perhaps found his demeanor or way of speaking off-putting. Despite rising to national fame in the early '90s with Indipop chartbusters like Thanda Thanda Paani, Baba feels his success outside the film industry may have made the Hindi film music scene uneasy and hesitant to fully embrace him. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pistol de sudură laser multifuncțional siginificant Află mai multe Undo He also shared that he received a threat call from the underworld back in 1998—a time when such intimidation was not uncommon in the entertainment industry. While he never imagined being targeted as he considered himself 'just a singer,' the incident came as a shock. He recalled how the experience brought immense stress to both him and his family during that turbulent period. Baba further revealed that the underworld call he received in 1998 wasn't about extortion—but a warning to stop making music altogether. 'They told me to stop singing. The tone wasn't aggressive, but it was serious,' he recalled, adding that the calls often came at night, making it a deeply unsettling experience. Despite the threats, Baba chose to stay the course, building a successful career beyond Bollywood with the support of his loyal fans and the South Indian film industry. Baba Sehgal also reflected on the turbulence in the entertainment industry during the late '90s. He described it as a confusing period when non-film music declined, remixes took over, and the underworld gained influence. 'It wasn't just me; the entire industry was shaken,' he said, highlighting the widespread challenges artists faced during that era.

Baba Sehgal Says South Industry Took Him 'Seriously': 'Bollywood Was Very Insecure With Me'

Last Updated: Baba Sehgal shared in 1998, he received a threat call from the underworld. At the time, such calls were common in the industry, but the rapper never expected to be on their radar. Popular rapper and music artist Baba Sehgal has opened up about his difficult relationship with the Hindi film industry, claiming that Bollywood was never fully supportive of his talent. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, the singer revealed that the South Indian film industry treated him with far more respect and seriousness. 'South took me seriously," Baba Sehgal said, referring to his extensive work in regional music. 'I have done more than 250 Telugu film songs, 35–40 Tamil songs, and over 25 Kannada songs. Not only rap, I think the Telugu industry is my 'jungdata' (warrior). Bollywood was very insecure with me, right from the beginning." He explained that his straightforward personality might have clashed with Bollywood's expectations. 'Music directors would call me, but maybe they didn't like my body language or the way I spoke. Maybe I was too upfront," he shared. Baba rose to national fame in the early 1990s with Indipop hits like Thanda Thanda Paani, but his non-film success, he believes, made the Hindi film music circuit uncomfortable. In a striking revelation, Baba also shared that in 1998, he received a threat call from the underworld. At the time, such calls were common in the industry, but the rapper never expected to be on their radar. 'The underworld was very strong in 1998. I never thought I'd get a call because I was just a singer. But somehow, I too got one," he recalled. 'That time was very stressful – for me and for my family." According to Baba, the call wasn't about money but rather a directive to stop singing. 'They told me to stop making music. The tone wasn't very aggressive, but it was serious," he said. 'They used to call at night. It was a terrifying phase." Despite the threats, Baba continued to chart his own musical journey outside of Bollywood, relying on the support of his fan base and the South industry. He also spoke about the overall instability in the entertainment world during the late '90s. 'It was a confusing time. Non-film music crashed, remixes came in, and the underworld had entered the scene. The whole industry was shaken not just me," he said. First Published:

Baba Sehgal Takes Dig At AR Rahman-Mani Ratnam's Roja Song: ‘Cheap Lyrics; They Didn't Like Me'

Last Updated: Baba Sehgal recalled how he was approached for the Hindi version of the Tamil song during a performance in Chennai. Baba Sehgal, one of India's earliest pop icons, recently opened up about his involvement in the Hindi version of Roja's popular track Rukmani Rukmani. The song, composed by the now-legendary AR Rahman for Mani Ratnam's 1992 film, has become iconic over the years. But Baba's experience with the song, as he reveals, was far from rosy. In a candid chat with Siddharth Kannan, Baba Sehgal recalled how he was approached for the Hindi version of the Tamil song during a performance in Chennai. 'I had a show in Chennai. Somebody from the organising team told me that some director wants to meet me," he began. 'There was an assistant director who came and played Rukmani Rukmani's Tamil version. I didn't pay much attention to it and just said 'yes' to the song. AR Rahman was also there. He was very young at the time." Baba went on to narrate how Rahman and team visited him at his hotel, requesting him to help release the song. He said, 'I called my friend Atul and gave them Shashi Gopal's number from Magnus Sound. They connected and eventually decided to do a Hindi version, on one condition that one song would be sung by me. I understood then that AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam didn't really like me." Things took a turn when Baba received the Hindi lyrics. 'When I saw the Hindi lyrics, I was like, 'Kitne vahiyat lyrics hai yaar. Kisne likha hai ye?' (How cheap are these lyrics? Who wrote this?). The problem is, when we listen to songs in another language, they sound fine. But in our own language, we grasp the meaning. I don't think Rahman or Ratnam knew what those Hindi lyrics meant." Despite his reservations, Baba sang the song alongside Swetha Shetty. But he later learned that the makers originally wanted classical singers for the track. 'It was a forced thing. I was not at all convinced with the lyrics. They were very cheap, I feel," he added. Baba also revealed that this song turned out to be his only collaboration with AR Rahman. 'Another lady was called to sing the female lines. Later, I told Swetha Shetty to sing those too, and she nailed it. That was my first and last song with Rahman. Language was a problem. We never met after that." First Published:
