Youngsters who are creating new viral music for reels and trends have their place in today's time. Music has now evolved into simple melodies, which are easy to sing and hum. You cannot judge if this is good or bad. This is the music of the future, and there's nothing wrong with it.' ' AI could stifle emerging talent and creativity in music' Sharing her views on how AI can hamper the creative spark in musicians, she says, 'With AI mimicking voices becoming so rampant, the upcoming singers will be affected. They will not get a break in the industry because AI will be imitating the voices of stalwarts. AI could stifle emerging talent and creativity in music, which might make the music industry a cloning business - rehashing styles and voices that already exist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Even Beautiful Women Have Their 'Oops' Moments Read More Undo It may stifle the unique creative spark that modern and new musicians and singers bring to the world of music.

When A Band of Boys came, I could relate with their song-and-dance, bass woh sab Hindi mein hota tha. They were popular for so many years. But later, yeh sab bikhar gaye. Jab log bikhar jaate hai tab kaam khatam ho jata hai. I told these boys that they need to come together. I am glad they are back together." Speaking about forming her own band, the singer added, 'If it was up to me, I would like to have a band with a lineup of all the famous singers and bands of the yesteryears like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, ABBA, Earth Wind & Fire, Santana, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Barbra Streisand and Caterina Valente.

Anupamaa's Sudhanshu Pandey Says He Grew Up In A 30-Room Haveli: 'We Were Middle Class'
Last Updated: Sudhanshu Pandey shares how growing up with middle-class values in a 30-room mansion in Gorakhpur shaped his journey in showbiz. Sudhanshu Pandey has been part of the entertainment world for decades, trying his hand at modeling, music, acting, and even reality TV. While he was recently seen in The Traitors on Amazon Prime Video, where he made it to the finale, Sudhanshu says it's his upbringing that's kept him grounded all these years. In a conversation featured on Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel, Sudhanshu was asked how he manages to stay humble despite his success. He pointed to his upbringing and background. 'I think the biggest strength for people like me is the background we come from and that background is a very simple, middle-class background. I have always felt that has been my strength because I have known my reality. I know where I come from and where I belong," he said. Sudhanshu also shared that although his family lived in a large home in Gorakhpur, their lifestyle remained simple. 'My parental house was in a place called Gorakhpur. We are originally from Uttarakhand but my parental house was in Gorakhpur and it was a 30-room haveli. We used to have cows so I came from that background. Yet, we were all middle-class simple people," he revealed. The actor believes the way his parents raised him played a huge role in shaping who he is today. 'The simplicity that came to me from my parents and our life, was so basic and simple that that is what my foundation was. And I think because that foundation was so strong, it never let me get shaken up at any given point in life." Sudhanshu Pandey began his career as a model before transitioning into films and television. He made his Bollywood debut in Khiladi 420 (2000) and went on to appear in movies like Singh Is Kinng, Dus Kahaniyaan, Siyaasat, and Bypass Road. He was also part of India's first boy band, A Band of Boys, known for hits like Meri Neend. On television, his most notable role has been Vanraj Shah in Anupamaa. He also featured in web series like The Empire and The Traitors on Amazon Prime Video, where he reached the finale.

Sudhanshu Pandey reveals a special gift given from Anupamaa's on-screen father Arvind Vaidya
Anupamaa actor Sudhanshu Pandey , known for playing the layered and intense character of Vanraj Shah, recently opened up his beautifully designed home in an interview with Mashable India. His space reflects his personality—calm, rooted, and spiritually inclined. Among the many highlights of his serene home is a unique Mahadev-themed art piece that holds deep emotional value for him. The actor revealed that the centerpiece was a heartfelt gift from his Anupamaa co-star Arvind Vaidya , who plays Vanraj's on-screen father, Bapuji. 'This art piece was given to me by my Bapuji. He played my father in Anupamaa. Aunty and he gifted me this,' Sudhanshu shared with pride and affection. The Mahadev fountain, with its continuous flow of water, has a special mechanism that mimics an abhishek. 'The best part is that 24x7 abhishek hoti rehti hai, constantly water is flowing. It's a fountain type mechanism. It is a very positive thing,' he explained, adding how the sacred corner in his house brings him peace and a sense of grounding. A vastu specialist also painted a special wall hanging near the corner to enhance the space's spiritual energy. Beyond his spiritual side, Sudhanshu Pandey's career is as layered as the characters he plays. He started as a model and was also a member of the first Indian boy band A Band of Boys. He later transitioned to acting and made his mark in Bollywood with films like Khiladi 420, Singh Is Kinng, and Dus Kahaniyaan. However, it was his role as Vanraj in Anupamaa that brought him massive fame and critical acclaim, establishing him as one of Indian television's most compelling male leads. From music to movies to prime-time television, Sudhanshu Pandey continues to inspire with both his craft and personal grace. He was last seen in web reality show called Traitors.
