When Shah Rukh Khan’s movie Badshah came in 1999, Badshah said that he utilized the stage name ‘Cool Equal’ at first, but then changed it. He was speaking on the 13th season of Amitabh Bachchan’s quiz program Kaun Banega Crorepati. Neha Kakkar and Badshah made an appearance on one of the game show’s episodes.
“Badshah, your true name is Aditya Pratik Singh,” Amitabh remarked throughout the game. “How did Aditya Prateek Singh end up as Badshah?” you might wonder.
Badshah said: “I used to go by the name Cool Equal, which was a strange one. That was my email address, which I changed to my stage name. Then I came to my senses and realized that this was a strange name.”
He continued: “When I was looking for my stage name, I was a tremendous fan of Shah Rukh Khan sir. His film Badshah was released around that period (1999). Badshah was my stage name from then on. It didn’t need considerable work on my part.” “Oh!” the host said to Badshah. “Way to go.”
Amitabh Bachchan posted a picture on Instagram when they were filming the show. He added, “Yo… doing the cool man with the BADSHAH.” On the show, Neha and Badshah made a big entrance. As they walked onto the stage, they sang the famous song Ladki Beautiful.
The actor is preparing for the release of his next film, Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy. He may also be noticed in the movies Goodbye, Jhund, and Mayday.
