UK’s first Bollywood busker and upcoming singer-songwriter Vish has been enthralling audiences with striking renditions of Indian film songs for quite some time now. Recently, he took to social media to share a street busking video of himself jamming to evergreen Bollywood chartbuster ‘Kaala Chasma’ from the film ‘Baar Baar Dekho’.
With a strong audience count assembled at Piccadilly Circus, audiences were in for a colossal treat as hip hop mogul and 4th most followed Indian artist on Spotify, Badshah made a surprise appearance on Vish’s Street busking act.
Videos circulating on social media showcase a universal audience comprising young teens and married couples having the time of their life as the duo jammed seamlessly on the superhit song. It’s commendable to note that the 38-year-old rapper also referenced how music is a medium of love and happiness in trying times before kickstarting his busking act.

As someone who is referred to as the world’s first-ever creative talent to normalize Bollywood busking, Vish stated, “Being someone who sings on the street and to be joined by the Drake of India BADSHAH next to me singing Kala Chashma was a great opportunity for me. What a surprise and you can see how the crowd went crazy. This has been the best moment so far for me since I’ve started busking.”
Badshah added, “It’s always heartwarming to connect with the fans. A big shoutout to Vish for being absolutely stellar. I can’t wait to be back in November to spread some love and good vibes at my arena shows!”
