Baba Sehgal also said about South and Bollywood, ‘South took me seriously. I have sung more than 250 Telugu film songs, 35-40 Tamil songs, and more than 25 Kannada songs. Not only rap, but I feel that the Telugu industry is my champion. Bollywood was very insecure about me from the beginning. Music directors used to call me, but perhaps they did not like my body language or my way of speaking. Perhaps I spoke too openly.’

If we talk about Baba Sehgal, then let us tell you that he became famous in the 1990s with hit indiepop songs like ‘Thanda Thanda Paani’. But he believes that the success he achieved despite being from a non-film background made the Hindi film music circuit uncomfortable. He then talked about the song ‘Rukmani Rukmani’ from Mani Ratnam’s film ‘Roja’. This song was composed by AR Rahman for the 1992 film. But Baba Sehgal’s experience of working on this song was not good. He also told that Mani Ratnam and AR Rahman did not like him.
