Bahuguna urged his followers to remain vigilant and avoid engaging with suspicious calls, emphasizing the need for greater awareness to prevent similar incidents.
Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has finally revealed why he sang with AR Rahman only once. He cited the composer’s erratic working hours as one of the biggest reasons.
