Nowadays there’s a trend of singles which are mostly recreated versions of old songs. However back in the 90s and early 2000, there were singles that were original and had a great concept in it. While most of the songs featured the singer itself, some of them also had our Bollywood celebs.

So, today let’s look at the list of Bollywood actors who started their career with music videos…


Vidya Balan

Before making us go Ooh La La with her performances on the big screen, Vidya Balan featured in Palash Sen’s music video Kabhi Aana Tu Meri Gali. While we didn’t get to see Vidya dancing in it, her lively screen presence impressed us a lot.

Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor made his debut with 2003 release Ishq Vishk. His chocolate boy avatar in the film stole every girl’s heart.

Well, Shahid looked quite cute in the music video.

Ayesha Takia

Falguni Pathak’s music videos in the late 90s and early 2000 were a rage. They used to be chartbusters. In 2000, Pathak came up with the track Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye which featured Ayesha Takia.

Eurovision in turmoil as Spain Ireland and Netherlands threaten withdrawal over Gaza conflict

Highlights:

  • Spain leads a growing boycott movement, with Ireland, the Netherlands and Slovenia also refusing to participate if Israel competes.
  • The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is in crisis talks, extending its decision deadline to December 2025.
  • The situation draws direct comparisons to Russia’s exclusion in 2022, creating a precedent the EBU must now navigate.
  • The core dilemma pits Eurovision’s non-political ideals against the stark reality of a humanitarian crisis.

The Eurovision Song Contest, that glitter-drenched annual spectacle of pop and unity, is staring into the abyss. The escalating call for a Eurovision boycott over Israel's participation, against the backdrop of the ongoing Gaza conflict, has put the organisers into their most severe political crisis yet. This isn't just about another song entry but a fundamental clash between the contest's cherished apolitical fantasy and the inescapable geopolitics of the real world, threatening to tear the competition apart from within.
