Asees Kaur Drops Soulful EP Broken With 4 Songs On Love And Letting Go
While Asees has lent her voice in Broken, the music and lyrics are by Goldie Sohel. Asees Kaur has been the voice behind several hit tracks in Bollywood, but despite being a successful playback singer, she recently launched her first EP (Extended Play) called Broken. The musician's new collection has four songs, which are a blend of love, heartbreak and healing. Each song, including Toot Gaya, Bhool Jaungi, Phir Na Milenge and Kaindiyaan, shows different feelings. While Asees has lent her voice, the music and lyrics are created by Goldie Sohel, known for composing hits like Aaj Sajeya and Bairiya. As per Filmibeat, the singer said, 'Broken is the most personal I've ever been with my music. The audience has given so much love to my film songs, and now, in parallel, I want to keep putting out my independent music as well. Both kinds of music are equally special to me. Goldie and I began working on these songs after the birth of our son, Harfateh, last year. They were born out of late-night conversations, voice notes, and moments only the two of us shared." Asees Kaur once tried to start her singing career through Indian Idol, but she was not selected. Still, she didn't lose hope. With time and effort, she became a well-known playback singer. In an earlier interview with The Hindu, she spoke about her early days and said that she began her journey on her own. She learned by listening to cassette tapes. In the beginning, preparing for a song used to take her around a month. But with experience, that time has reduced, and now she can get ready in just a day. She believes that if someone wants to become a singer, getting proper training really helps. It teaches you how to control your voice and gives you the confidence to perform. According to Asees, a good teacher can guide you with ragas, voice control and other important skills that make the path easier. Throughout her time in the music industry, Asees Kaur has given a number of hit songs like Raatan Lambiyan, Ve Kamleya, Dum Dum, Ikk Kudi, Chogada, Aankh Lad Jaavee and Ve Maahi, among others.

Bigg Boss 19 to start soon: From Ram Kapoor to Zareen Khan, here's a list of stars said NO to Salman Khan's show
Ram Kapoor Zareen Khan Anita Hassanandani Anshula Kapoor Raj Kundra Purav Jha Jannat Zubair As anticipation builds around Bigg Boss 19 , not everyone is scrambling to enter the house. While fans are busy speculating about themes, twists, and wildcard entries, a parallel list of celebrities is making headlines, for saying 'thanks, but no thanks' to the most controversial reality show on Indian television. Whether it's the intense spotlight, the never-ending drama, or the suffocating lack of privacy, these celebs have made it clear: Bigg Boss isn't for a rundown of the big names who've shut the door on the Bigg Boss 19 house—firmly and actor Ram Kapoor didn't mince words when asked about entering Bigg Boss 19. Despite internet buzz and wild speculation, he set the record straight in an interview with Filmibeat, saying he wouldn't join even for a Rs 20 crore said that he would never accept Bigg Boss because he feels its not the show for him. Citing privacy concerns and calling the show 'voyeuristic,' Kapoor said that while Bigg Boss may be successful, it doesn't align with his identity as an actor and a private person. Zareen Khan , who made her Bollywood debut alongside Salman Khan in Veer, was also approached for the new season but turned it down for reasons that were both personal and practical. In an interview with Hindi Rush, she cited her many responsibilities at home, saying she couldn't imagine staying away for three months. More candidly, she admitted she wouldn't tolerate misbehaviour in the house, 'Mera haath uth jayega" and added that then she would be evicted outside the favourite Anita Hassanandani didn't hesitate to say she wasn't built for Bigg Boss. In an interview with Pinkvilla, she admitted that even if she wanted to do the show, the makers might hesitate because she wouldn't be able to deliver the kind of drama they usually expect. Anshula Kapoor , sister of Arjun Kapoor, reportedly turned down the offer due to the show's 'long duration and intense format.' According to Siasat, she admitted she wasn't mentally prepared for such a commitment right now. Raj Kundra , who's no stranger to headlines, also opted out. As per Siasat, he quipped that two people from his household had already participated in Bigg Boss (referring to his wife Shilpa Shetty and possibly Shamita Shetty), and that's quite media influencer and YouTuber Purav Jha also gave a polite no to the Bigg Boss offer. While he isn't ready for the chaos this year, he hasn't ruled out the possibility entirely, keeping the door open for a future and influencer Jannat Zubair, a fan favourite among younger audiences, also turned down the show. Sources claim she didn't want to deal with unnecessary drama, especially since an ex-boyfriend might be among the housemates. For someone so fiercely private, that's reason enough.
