Badshah makes a move to end 15-yr-old feud with Yo Yo Honey Singh, says he wishes him all the best
rap icons have finally decided to bury their hatchet once and for all. At a Dehradun concert, Badshah extended an olive branch to fellow rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh. The ‘Genda Phool’ hitmaker paused his performance at GraFest 2024, and said he wanted to end the feud and attributed that they had a falling out due to misunderstandings. “There was a phase in my life where I held this grudge against one, and now I want to call it quits and leave that grudge behind – and that’s Honey Singh. I was unhappy because of some misunderstanding but then I realised when we were together.Jodne waale bahut kam the, todne waale bahut the (The number of people wanting to break us apart outnumbered the number of people trying to unite). Today, I just want to let everyone know I’ve left that phase behind and I wish him all the best,” he said. Both the rap icons started their careers together. They were a part of the rap group ‘Mafia Mundeer’ and released several hit songs such as ‘Khol Botal’, ‘Begani Naar’ ‘Buri’ and ‘Delhi Ke Deewane’, before leaving the group in 2009.

Good market access offered on both sides, says UK on India FTA talks
UK government has said as Indian negotiators are in London this week to continue discussions with their British counterparts. During a debate in the House of Lords this week, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron was addressing questions from British peers on the current state of freedom of religion or belief in India. The recent restructuring of the BBC to create a new Indian-owned entity in order to comply with the country's foreign direct investment (FDI) rules was flagged by Liberal Democrat peer Lord Jeremy Purvis, who questioned the level of market access being offered to India in the field of media, data and telecoms as part of the FTA negotiations. «My understanding of where we are with the trade deal is that good market access has been offered on both sides, but not quite enough yet to secure a deal. It is important with such trade deals, as you only really get one proper shot at it, to make sure that it is a good enough deal that will be welcomed by industry leaders here in the UK as offering real market access,» said Lord Cameron.
