Sanskrit scholar sings Yo Yo Honey Singh's Dheere Dheere Se, video goes viral

This man is way too cool even for the old school. When musicians in India barely manage to nail a song in Hindi (unless you want a crowd dancing to an upbeat party song shaming Munni and Sheila), this guy took his PhD in Sanskrit to the next level and it's bahu sundram asti.

Pankaj Jha who is pursuing PhD in Sanskrit grammar at Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth, New Delhi, sung the famous Hrithik Roshan and Sonam Kapoor starrer track Dheere Dheere Se and gave a new meaning to the beat.

The song has a legacy of its own. It was originally sung by Kumar Sanu in the 1990 release - Aashiqui, and stirred a heart or many.

And if you're feeling nostalgic, then here's the track.

Without any need of a revamp, Honey Singh in 2015 covered the song in his own Yo Yo way.

And in no time it was 2016 when this happened. Pankaj Jha covered the song in not only a different style but in a different language altogether. Yes guys, in our very own Sanskrit.

Here 's the video:

But how did Jha actually get the idea? Here's the story.

"A student wanted to know if Sanskrit dealt only with old stories and shlokas. I told him there were songs as well," Jha told Hindustan Times.

The kid challenged Jha to sing a famous song in Sanskrit and the man from Jharkhand readily accepted the challenge. And now, it's going viral for all the legit reasons one could ask for.

Pankaj Jha later recorded the track because we all need cool stuff on internet to keep it alive and entertaining, right?

Yes sir!

Yo Yo Honey Singh, Badshah''s songs on Armaan Malik''s mind

Singer Armaan Malik, who has created waves by recreating 1990’s melodies like Tujhe Apna Banane Ki and peppy numbers like Buddhu Sa Mann, says that rap and electronic dance music (EDM) is a new and fresh approach to dance numbers.

Asked if he thinks rap and EDM are taking over Bollywood melodies, Malik said: “I don’t think so...I would call it a fresh approach to dance songs…”

Malik, who has crooned foot-tapping numbers like Rom rom romantic and Chaar shanivaar, says he likes songs by rappers like Yo Yo Honey Singh and Badshah as their songs are catchy and connect with the youth. 

“I like Honey singh. I love the music that he does. I like Badshah’s songs as they are very cool, catchy and very young. I think that’s very important...It’s connecting with the youth, he added. 

The 20-year-old singer shared that since he is a part of the youth he finds these genres a “good change”.

“But it’s more like a phase, that’s what I consider it,” he added.

Yo Yo Honey Singh joins hands with SRK for Raees?

A year after their ugly spat on the ‘SLAM’ world tour, Shah Rukh Khan and singer Yo Yo Honey Singh never worked with each other. Their last outing was ‘Lungi Dance’ from the film ‘Chennai Express’ in 2013. It had been reported that Shah Rukh slapped the rapper during the ‘SLAM’ tour abroad, and told him to leave the show.

Soon after the incident, the rapper called in sick and abruptly left show. Honey Singh then shied away from making public appearances for a few months, with reports stating that he had checked himself into a rehab centre in Chandigarh.

Although SRK and Honey Singh's wife went on to rubbish rumours, the two never worked on any projects after ‘Chennai Express’. However, all seems to have been forgiven and forgotten as Honey Singh posed for a selfie with SRK at Vikarm Phadnis’s party early this year.

Latest, we hear is that the two have join hands for Shah Rukh Khan’s much anticipated film ‘Raees’. If things will work out between the, it might be a great comeback for Yo Yo Honey Singh.

On Doctor's Day, Yo Yo Honey Singh thanks them for helping him battle biopolar disorder

New Delhi: There was a time when songs of rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh were chartbusters. After achieving mountainous heights in terms of success, Yo Yo somewhat vanished from the singing arena. And now we might finally know the reason for his absence.

Fresh reports in the media suggest that Yo Yo was battling bipolar disorder for 18 months. In an interview to a newspaper he also thanked doctors who helped him fight this disease.

Bipolar disorder is associated with mood swings. A person suffering from it will be depressed at one point of time, and go to manic highs soon.

The report also said that Yo Yo calls this phase of his life a scary one, and he owes it to the doctors for helping him. The doctors constantly monitored him and kept a tab in his mood swings. During this phase, Yo Yo found it difficult to interact with people beyond his family and close friends.  In fact, he became an alcoholic too.

It was the doctors who came as angels in disguise to Yo Yo’s life. They nurtured his thought process, reportedly, and helped him become strong enough to defeat the disorder.

The other thing which provided recluse to Yo Yo was writing. He reportedly penned down his thoughts and plans to develop them soon.

Well, now that Yo Yo has defeated all demons of his, we hope he makes a comeback soon as his fans are eagerly waiting for him. Let us also hope that his comeback happens with a bang, staying true to the style of Yo Yo Honey Singh.
