“I will always be a big fan of his. He always would say ‘jor bina patta de thapi bajti na’ on the thigh five (you have to give it your all to achieve something). I never met him but he will always remain my all-time favourite singer. His songs are always on my phone. Happy or sad, he (his numbers) always keeps me going.”
Vikas also stated that Sidhu Moosewala’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ is his current favourite when he’s down.
