Sagar Bhatia has redefined Qawwali for the younger generation with his fresh take on it. He revived their interest in this genre which was once so popular amongst Hindi music listeners.
And now, he is set to take it to feature films as well, with his first qawwali track in a Bollywood film up for release.
Sagar is making his playback singing debut with Akshay Kumar starrer Sarfira.
The film will feature a qawwali track sung by Sagar titled “Khudaya” and will add to the narrative in a beautiful way.
Talking about this feat, an excited Sagar says, “Proud and ecstatic to reveal my Bollywood playback singing debut! This is a milestone I've always dreamed of. Sharing a piece of our heart with you. I can’t wait for you all to hear this one.”
The singer has been signed by Karan Johar under Dharma Cornerstone Agency and this marks his first film project with them.
On other fronts, Sagar has done tours globally with his concept Sagar Wali Qawwali, gathering millions of fans worldwide for his music.
He garnered popularity for his covers of iconic retro Hindi songs, and his originals have also garnered immense praise for him. Some of his original tracks include “Mera Ishq”, “Royi Hovegi” and “Ishq Ch Kamli”.
He gave away all their Lamborghinis once, which kind of sums up the financial whiplash.
His public digs at her family, like Kris Jenner, became impossible to ignore.
On North's style hate, Kim says her daughter genuinely does not care what trolls think.
Kim Kardashian has finally spoken up about why she left Kanye West, admitting that it was not a single event, but rather several weeks during which things slowly fell apart. The constant instability left her feeling on edge, unsafe even. Then there is North and people picking apart her clothes as if it is some battle. Kim has had to fight that battle, too, every single day.

That "unsafe" feeling wasn't what you think
She kept using that word, "unsafe." But it is not what the tabloids want you to imagine. It was this constant low-grade dread, wondering which Kanye you would get that day. And the financial stuff was wild. Remember that time she came home and every single one of their five Lamborghinis was just gone? He had given them away to friends. Just like that.
How does anyone build a future when the next hour feels uncertain? Try mapping out your life when you cannot predict the next mood. And then the family thing started. He would go on these public rants, targeting Kris, going after her sisters. How do you even move forward after that? Arguments are normal, but hearing someone insult your family crosses a line that changes everything.

So, how is North handling all the online hate?
Turns out, better than her mum. People lost it over that dermal piercing in Rome. But Kim says North saw the comments, and her reaction was basically a shrug. The kid said she probably would not be friends with people who hate on her blue hair anyway.
Kim is just trying to keep up. Her house is like a make-up lab on weekends, with North and her friends mastering special effects looks. But Kim admits she does not always get it right. "We made that mistake in front of the whole world," she said about one outfit choice. She is literally learning how to parent a teen while we all watch.
It all came down to a brutal choice: stick with the chaos for the sake of the four kids or save herself. She chose herself. The relationship got, as she put it, "toxic," especially when he was not willing to make changes that might have helped. It is the same gut instinct that now has her defending North, creating a stable home after all that instability, a place where her kids feel confident even if the internet does not like their lip liner.
