The original bling king Bappi Lahiri

Known for his colloquial style, Punjabi pop singer Mika Singh exhibits his otherwise smothered sense of humour. In a friendly banter on the sets of a singing reality show, Mika left everyone in splits as he pointed out how Bappida’s love for gold or any form of jewellary is well reflected in his musical compositions as well.

Justifying the same, Mika sang out a list of Bappi’s popular numbers such as Mujhe nau lakha wala de re (referring to a gem studded gold necklace), Pag ghunghuroo bandh meera nachi re, Gori hai kalahiyan, Yaar bina chain kahan re…sona nahi chandi nahi yar toh mile, etc.

Well, Mika’s keen observation not only convinced the audiences but Bappida too, who was tickled pink by this tongue in cheek remark. Surprisingly, Bappi himself had never realised this coincidence before Mika pointed it out.
