What first connected you to Shaheer Sheikh?


I was small when I saw Shaheer in television serial Navya for the first time. I was not a fan of any actor, but when I saw him, I became his fan instantly.

What made you become a super fan?

I have seen Shaheer from Navya onwards and love how he takes up challenging roles. He does something different, be it Arjuna, Dev Dixit, Nityanand or Salim (his roles). He justifies the role he plays. That is what made me become his super fan.

Tell us about something super you have done for him?

I try to make photo edits all the time. When I met him I was only able to gift my superhero edits and, yes, a letter. All I can do for Shaheer is to make edits of him with love, follow his positive example and support him.

What has been your most memorable moment?

It was when I met my superhero Shaheer. It was a dream come true that after so many years of supporting him, I got to meet Shaheer. The first time when I saw him standing on sets, I was not able to believe my eyes. He is such a beautiful person. I cannot explain in words the moment I talked with him. After meeting him, I became an even bigger super fan.

What is the thing you most love about Shaheer?

I love everything about Shaheer. He is my idol. I love his hardworking and dedicated nature, which inspires me in my own life. I also adore his poetry. I love how humble and sweet he is, and everything else.

Which quality in Shaheer do you most relate to?

I think his dedication to whatever work he does.

What is your favourite work Shaheer has done?

I love whichever role he takes up because he gives his 100 per cent and justifies his characters. He spreads awareness to save nature and I really love that the most.

Why do you love being a super fan?

I think it’s because he is not only a talented actor, but also a beautiful person inside and out. How can someone not love him?

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
