Music producer and composer
Tanishk Bagchi
recently shed light on his journey in the industry and shared his perspective on remixing songs. The musician, known for creating some of Bollywood's most celebrated remixes, spoke about how he feels regarding the label 'Remix King'. He recalled a moment when AR
Rahman
's reaction to his 'Humma Humma' remix gave him hope in his talent.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Bagchi reminisced about his first major hit, which was the remix of Humma Humma. When he listened to the popular track, he felt that it was no longer attracting new listeners, so he thought of giving it a fresh spin.

He initially feared that taking on such an iconic number could either make or break his career. However,
A.R. Rahman
's response reassured him that his creative instincts were indeed on the right path. 'Rahman Sir ne kaha yeh naya sound hai, bohot simple sound hai. Tab mujhe samajh mein aaya ki mere andar yeh quality hai. Main gaane ko bachaa sakta hoon, spoil hone se.'
Addressing the misconception that remixes are merely about updating beats,
Tanishk
broke down his creative process. Using Tere Bin from Simmba as an example, he explained that his approach is rooted in originality. 'Har gaana jo maine kiya hai, woh scratch se shuru hota hai, starting from the bass. Remix karna, original track banane se zyada mushkil hota hai—yeh sochna ki usse kaise naye tareeke se banayein. Jaise Simmba mein bhi Tere Bin ka remix kiya. Toh bas hook purana tha, Tere Bin Nai Jeena, baaki sab naya tha,' he added.
Bagchi described his work as a bridge between the older generation and the younger generation to help them experience music in a more meaningful way. He also spoke about how many people are now creating remixes of old songs and using them for Instagram reels.

Adnan Sami opens up about divorce from his first wife Zeba Bakhtiar: 'Let us respect that there was love and move on'
Adnan Sami , who is currently enjoying a peaceful life with wife Roya Faryabi and daughter Medina, recently opened up about his first marriage to actress Zeba Bakhtiar , which ended in divorce in the late 1990s. The singer recently shared a rare insight into the emotional aftermath of their separation, choosing to focus on the love and memories they once shared rather than the pain of the breakup. 'Sometimes what happens is that with time, for whatever reason, it was not meant to be, and that does not make you or me a bad person. That is destiny,' Adnan told Bollywood Bubble. He emphasized that while the marriage didn't last, it began with love, something he believes should be respected, no matter how things ended. 'We tried, and it did not work out... maybe it ended in a fight or a major clash. But when you part, remember once upon a time, there was love, and let us respect that and move on. This person did bring me joy at a particular point in life and we had some great moments together,' he added. Zeba Bakhtiar: 'I wasn't interested in continuing to act' Zeba Bakhtiar, a celebrated Pakistani actress, married Adnan in 1993. The couple welcomed a son, Azaan Sami Khan, now a music composer and actor. However, their marriage ended in divorce in 1997. In a past interview with Aamna Haider Isani, Zeba revealed how the end of her marriage impacted her personally and professionally. 'When I got married to Adnan, I was wrapping up a few films. At that time, I wasn't interested in continuing to act,' she said. After Azaan's birth, she shifted her focus to motherhood and left acting behind. 'But when the marriage didn't work out, I started doing productions and other projects,' she added, hinting at how the failure of the relationship influenced her creative pursuits. Adnan Sami Jackson WanMeetsg & Old Friends at Hrithik Roshan's Star-Studded Dinner A turbulent past with love, a stable present with Roya Adnan Sami has been married three times. His first marriage to Zeba Bakhtiar resulted in the birth of their son, Azaan, but ended in 1997. He later married Dubai-based Sabah Galadari in 2001, divorced her in 2004, remarried her in 2006, and separated again in 2009. His current marriage to Roya Faryabi, whom he wed in 2010, appears to be his most stable. The couple shares a daughter, Medina.

Adnan Sami says Pakistanis behave like his ‘ex-lovers': ‘When they see you moving on with someone else…'
Adnan Sami has a theory about why Pakistanis are still talking about his changed citizenship. Adnan used to be a Pakistani citizen but was granted Indian citizenship in 2016, something he still gets hate for from the other side of the border. In a new interview with Bollywood Bubble, Adnan theorised that Pakistanis are suffering from something he has dubbed the 'ex-lover syndrome'. Adnan Sami has said that the comments he gets from Pakistanis are also an 'absurd expression of love.' He said, 'It's like—it's like an ex-lover. It's a good analogy. You know, when an ex-lover sees you moving on and getting involved with somebody else, they'll always come up with reasons to hate you. But the real reason they do that is because they still haven't gotten over you, and it's love—it's still love. And love manifests in many absurd ways. You could even say… but the point is, I understand, somewhere, the psyche of how they feel.' Adnan said there were solid reasons behind his decision to change citizenship, but people have more issues with him going through it than a thousand others who do it all the time too. 'First of all, because of the geopolitical nature between India and Pakistan, so there's that rivalry, for whatever reason, we all know. But more than that, it's the ex-lover syndrome,' he said. Why did he make the switch? He said he never received a single award or any recognition from the government there, despite making music for nearly 40 years. He also spoke about other challenges he faced during that period. He made it clear that his audience had always been loving and supportive, and they still were. Adnan said he loved them deeply and remained genuinely grateful for all the affection they had shown him. His issues, he stressed, were never with them, and that was something he wanted them to understand. 'My issues have been with the government and the way they have treated me. They don't know this—how would they? But the fact remains, I've always loved my audiences. As you mentioned about being an artist, for me, everyone who loves me, I love them equally in return," he said. Apart from his hit albums, Adnan Sami has lent his voice to several popular Bollywood tracks, including Tu Sirf Mera Mehboob in Ajnabee, Nashe Nashe Mein Yaar in Janasheen, Shayad Yahi To Pyar Hai in Lucky: No Time for Love, Dil Kya Kare in Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love, and Baatein Kuch Ankahein Si in Life in a... Metro, among others. He was awarded the Padma Shri by the Indian government in 2020.

Adnan Sami calls Pakistan an 'ex-lover' amid debate over his citizenship: 'Can't see me moving on with India'
Adnan Sami addresses the controversy surrounding his Indian citizenship, likening the backlash to an 'ex-lover' unable to accept his decision. He emphasizes that his move was based on personal grounds, questioning why it draws criticism amid widespread global migration. Sami clarifies his discontent was with the Pakistani government, not its people, expressing gratitude for the continued love from his audience. Adnan Sami has finally addressed the ongoing chatter around his Indian citizenship, saying the backlash feels like an 'ex-lover' who can't accept him moving on. While his music continues to win hearts, Sami believes it's time the focus shifts from his nationality to his decades-long contribution to music. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Adnan spoke about his citizenship often overshadowing his musical contributions. He likened the situation to that of an ex-lover struggling to move on. He explained that the backlash he receives stems more from lingering emotions than genuine criticism—suggesting that beneath the negativity lies unresolved affection and a reluctance to let go. Sami said he understands the psyche behind such reactions, even if they manifest in strange or emotional ways. The singer further pointed out that many people are unaware of the circumstances that led to his decision, and it's unfair for anyone to assume they understand his reasons. He emphasized that his choice was based on solid, personal grounds. Addressing the backlash, he questioned why global migration is widely accepted, yet his move draws criticism—highlighting the ongoing geopolitical tension between India and Pakistan . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Just Add 1 Drop Of This Household Item To Any Dark Spot And Wait 3 Minutes Undo Ultimately, he reiterated that much of the negativity stems from what he described as an 'ex-lover syndrome,' a lingering emotional reaction rather than a rational one. He also reflected on the lack of recognition he received from the Pakistani government throughout his decades-long music career. Despite contributing to the industry for nearly 40 years, he said he was never honoured or awarded by the authorities there—a disappointment that was only a small part of the challenges he faced. However, he clarified that his issues were never with the people of Pakistan. On the contrary, he expressed deep affection and gratitude for his audience, who he said have always showered him with love and continue to do so. Adnan further clarified that his discontent was directed solely at the government, not the people of Pakistan. He emphasised that the general public has always shown him immense love, and he continues to feel a deep connection with them. As an artist, he believes in reciprocating love equally and holds no bitterness toward anyone. While some may develop resentment over his choices, he views even that as stemming from a place of love. He expressed hope that, with time, these feelings would heal. His music, he stressed, is for everyone—without borders or conditions—and he welcomes all who wish to engage with it. His citizenship became a widely discussed topic after he was granted Indian citizenship by the Government of India, effective January 1, 2016. Born in the UK to Pakistani parents, Sami had held Pakistani citizenship until then. His request for Indian citizenship, made in 2015, was approved on humanitarian grounds. However, the move sparked considerable debate, with critics raising questions about the reasons behind the decision—particularly in light of his Pakistani origins and the complex political dynamics between the two countries.
