  • Resumen

  • In this captivating episode of AfterHours, Bani sits down with the legendary Daler Mehndi for an in-depth and heartfelt interview. Bani kicks off the conversation by sharing a personal anecdote about the first time she saw Daler perform in Delhi, expressing how his vibrant green emerald kurta inspired her to have one made for herself. Daler Mehndi reflects on the incredible success he’s achieved by God’s grace. The discussion takes a nostalgic turn as Bani asks the burning question we’ve all had: why the name “Daler”? Daler shares an intriguing story from his parents’ experience watching a film starring Prem Nath, whose character’s name was Daler. Inspired by the character’s bravery and sacrifice, his mother decided to name him Daler. The conversation then delves into Daler’s unexpected fear of ghosts, with him recounting various eerie encounters that initially terrified him but eventually became more manageable. Daler reminisces about the breakthrough success of “Bolo Ta Ra Ra” and his Bollywood debut with Amitabh Bachchan in “Na Na Na Re,” a dream come true for him. The interview touches on lighter moments, including Daler’s amusing experiences singing in Tamil and Telugu, and the joy he found in the compliment from a director about his accent. He also shares the emotional journey of singing his first Shabad, taught by his father, and the love he received for it. The conversation turns serious as Daler discusses the human trafficking case filed against him in 2003. He opens up about the immense personal and professional toll it took, the baseless accusations, and the long struggle to clear his name, all while continuing his good deeds. Despite the hardships, Daler remains optimistic about his future. He shares his excitement about being cast in “Welcome 3” and how his name and identity, including his turban, remain intact in the film. He fondly recalls the supportive atmosphere on set with stars like Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, and Akshay Kumar. Bani enquires about the recurring breakup themes in his lyrics, to which Daler explains that they reflect the experiences of those around him rather than his own. He also recounts the spontaneous creation of “Kudiyan Sehar Diyan” during a performance. The interview reveals Vicky Kaushal’s fanboy admiration for Daler and his appreciation for Diljit Dosanjh. Daler expresses his respect for Diljit and recounts a memorable encounter where he saw Diljit in a hotel but unfortunately didn’t get the chance to speak with him. As the interview wraps up, Bani poses the podcast’s staple question: what does Daler do to unwind AfterHours? To everyone’s surprise, he enjoys scrolling through Instagram, finding humour in the randomness of its content. Finally, Daler entertains us with impromptu songs inspired by various situations Bani presents, showcasing his musical genius.
