Popular rapper and singer Badshah , known for chart-topping hits like Garmi and Kar Gayi Chull, recently opened up about a difficult phase in his life when his relatives didn’t believe in his dreams.
In a heartfelt conversation with Spotify India, the artist revealed that many family members once considered him a bad influence. “Every relative said, ‘Keep him away from our children… he should not come to our house,’” Badshah recalled. The remarks stemmed from misunderstanding his artistic pursuits, and for years, he was judged not for who he was but for how different he appeared.
Parents Who Never Gave Up on Him
Despite the criticism, Badshah’s parents never gave up on him. His mother shared how even she didn’t fully understand his passion at first and when he told her in Class 9 that he wanted to become a DJ, it sounded alien to her. “Actually, they all thought that he was just wasting his time. They didn’t understand that he runs around for his music,” she admitted. His father had different plans for his career but acknowledged the joy in seeing his son’s success. “These things can’t be expressed. It’s beyond words,” he said.
Success That Speaks Louder Than Doubt
Badshah shared a moment when he asked his parents if they finally understood what he does for a living. They laughed and admitted they still don’t fully get it—but now they feel pride instead of confusion. With his Unfinished Tour heading to the US in September 2025 and performances lined up across cities like Virginia, New Jersey, and Chicago, Badshah has come a long way from being the boy no one wanted around.
