Kriti Sanon and Badshah express admiration for Shah Rukh Khan: “I love him”

Kriti Sanon, KL Rahul and Badshah – recently found themselves guests on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast, People By WTF. The conversation delved deeper than investment strategies and box office numbers, revealing a surprising connection – their mutual admiration for Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan.

Nikhil Kamath, a self-made billionaire and investment maverick, has disrupted the traditional financial landscape. Little known, however, is his close connection to Shah Rukh Khan. “Every time I come to Bombay,” Nikhil revealed, “one night, I go to Shah Rukh Khan's house. Both of us sit down and chat for four to five hours.” He went on to praise the superstar's intellect, saying, “The kind of advice the man gives, it's incredible. I go to him just for his 'gyan' (wisdom).”

Sharing Nikhil's sentiment, Kriti Sanon enthusiastically joined the conversation about Shah Rukh Khan. “He is one of those few people you are a fan of and then you meet him and become a bigger fan,” she stated.

The conversation then shifted to Badshah. While everyone knew him as Badshah, the episode unveiled a fascinating backstory. Originally christened Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, the rapper adopted his stage name due to his immense admiration for Shah Rukh Khan. As Nikhil probed him about the name change, Badshah confessed, “I am a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan.” This revelation sparked a wave of agreement, with Kriti adding, “I love him.”

The conversation then took a hilarious turn when Badshah revealed his pre-Badshah stage name: Cool Equal. “Prior to this, I used to rap in English and my name used to be Cool Equal,” he said, much to the amusement of his co-guests. “coolequal@hotmail.com was my email id back then,” he added, sending everyone into a fit of laughter. With the stage name Cool Equal clearly out of the running, Badshah decided on Badshah, a choice he described as a "conscious decision."
