Singer Yasser Desai has sung some beautiful songs in Bollywood films and currently, he is busy garnering all the praises that he is getting for his melodious voice in the track Dil Maang Raha Hai from the film Ghost.
Directed by Vikram Bhatt, Ghost stars Sanaya Irani and Shivam Bhaargava in the lead roles. We recently caught up with Yasser and spoke to him about the song, if he believes in ghosts and a lot more…
Here are some snippets from our interaction with Yasser…
Did you meet Vikram Bhatt before the recording and what brief did he give you for the song?
I think songs like this don’t require a brief. It is a hardcore romantic track and the moment I heard the song I knew how I have to sing it. Vikram sir got me on board and he was pretty sure I will pull it off.
It is a romantic number, but it’s a horror film. So, do you believe in ghosts?
Kind of! As human beings, we have the fear of unseen, so I have never experienced it, but I believe in it.
From the past couple of years, there has been a debate about why actors are turning singers. So what’s your take on it?
I have heard a few actors sing, like Parineeti Chopra. I have heard her and I think she is pretty good. So, if they are good at it then why not. There’s no harm or there’s no limitation that an actor can’t sing and a singer can’t act. Ayushmann Khurrana is doing both and pulling it off like a boss. If they are doing it well, then why not.
As you are quite good looking, any plans of trying your hands in acting?
Thank you, that’s quite a compliment. But no, I can’t act. Basic thing to become an actor is to know how to act and face the camera, I am sure I am bad with that.
You have sung many songs and most of your songs are romantic tracks. But which genre you want to explore as a singer?
I think I have covered most of the genres. One genre that’s left right now is a qawwali. So, I would love to do an out and out hardcore qawwali track.
Who is that one composer you dream to work with?
Right now it’s Vishal-Shekhar. Also, MM Kreem sahab, I would love to work with him.
You have sung for many big stars like Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra, and others, but who is that one actor you would want to playback for?
It is Emraan Hashmi, hands down!
What’s happening next?
There’s Bole Chudiyan with Nawaz Bhai (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), I have a few beautiful songs in that film. There’s Motichoor Chaknachoor again with Nawaz Bhai and Athiya Shetty. I have a beautiful song in that movie and then there’s Drive. Overall I have around 15 to 16 songs before the year ends.
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.
