‘Sushmita Sen a force to reckon with’: Raja Kumari

Rapper Raja Kumari on Wednesday shared her experience of working with actor Sushmita Sen.

After singing the Jawan theme for superstar Shah Rukh Khan, the Indian-American singer has now come up with a song called 'Sherni Aayi' in Sushmita Sen-starrer Aarya 3.


Talking to ANI, she spoke about her experience of working with the Taali actress and said, "Sushmita is a force to reckon with. She is such a powerful 'sherni'. Working with her and being on set with her when she was being in her professional space was such an amazing learning experience..."

The song's video shows Sushmita in a fierce avatar as Aarya Sareen. Raja Kumari undoubtedly roars with her powerful vocals.

Raja Kumari recently received a lot of praise for her rap in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan.

Speaking about her Bollywood journey, she said, "I have no complaints. My Bollywood journey looks like a wish list from a baby NRI girl growing up, thinking about going to Bombay one day..."

Heaping praise on Raja Kumari, Sushmita earlier said, "Raja Kumari is a strong woman full of power, almost like the most fitting partner in crime for Aarya. Her incredible talent perfectly matches and compliments Aarya's innate strength and resilience. Working on this together felt like a celebration of strong women everywhere. In the real world, I feel Aarya and Raja Kumari could make for an unbeatable pair, one that no one can mess with. For me, this isn't just a song; it's an anthem and a clear declaration of inner strength and fearlessness."

Aarya 3, which is co-directed by Ram Madhvani, is currently streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.

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.
