Everyone knows the song ‘Kacha Badam.’ While Anjali Arora, aka the ‘Kacha Badam girl, gained immense social media fame after dancing to it, the song’s singer Bhuban Badyakar also became an overnight sensation on similar platforms. But as per recent reports, he is struggling financially and cannot make ends meet.
For those who don’t know, Badyakar was a peanut seller who became an overnight viral sensation after his song was uploaded online. Initially, a resident of Lakshminarayanpur village in Birbhum’s Dubrajpur village, Bhuban recently revealed why he had to move in with his son and leave his new home behind. Read on.
As reported by Anandabazaar Digital – via Times Now, Bhuban Badyakar has left his village amid his financial problems and has been away from home for months. It notes that the ‘Kacha Badam’ singer’s newly constructed home in his village is also empty and under lock and key. As of now, Bhuban is staying in the city of Dubrajpurand because despite people thinking he became rich overnight due to the song going viral, he is not financially stable.
Bhuban Badyakar added that whatever he earned from ‘Kacha Badam’ going viral, he invested into building a house for himself and does not have much money left. He further said that since he could not pay up as per demands from a few people, they took away his iPhone. He told the publication in Bengali, “They took my phone away, and so I ran away from home. They wanted money from me, which I could not give. They took my iPhone while I was sleeping.” The singer is currently staying with his son in Dubrajpur, where the youngster is doing some ‘duty’.
During an interaction with Aaj Tak Bangla, Bhuban claimed a company cheated him, and now he cannot even sing his song or upload it online. According to him, a Birbhum-based company and its owner tricked him in the name of Indian Performing Right Society Limited, reportedly paying him Rs 3 lakh for allegedly sharing his song on YouTube. However, Badyakar was unaware he had signed on to a paper selling his copyright to the song. Currently, Badyakar is managing to survive by doing small jobs and earning a few thousand rupees a month.
Sharing the news on social media, Mumbai-based paparazzi Viral Bhayani wrote, “#bhubhanbadyakar the kaccha badam peanut seller is a worried man.
