Bappi Lahiri on Elvis Presley
Danish, who is one of the top 14 contestants at Indian Idol this year, threw a power-packed, thundering performance and impressed each one present on set. Post his performance, he asked Bappi Lahiri a question, “I really like the way you dress up and the way you wear your gold on. What inspired you to adopt this style?” It was as if Bappi Da was waiting for this question, and filled with enthusiasm he answered back saying, “When my first film “Zakhmee” was a success, my mother gave it to me and since then gold has been very lucky for me as every song was a hit after this.
