Vishal Dadlani’s message to those who call Bachpan Ka Pyar boy bad singer: ‘Usko neecha dikhake what are you achieving’

Singer-music composer Vishal Dadlani has shared a video, defending viral sensation Sahdev Dirdo. The 10-year-old boy went viral recently after an old video of him singing the song Bachpan Ka Pyaar was rediscovered.

The song’s popularity on social media prompted even rapper Badshah to make a song with him. Sahdev also featured in the video with Badshah and others.

However, not everyone is impressed with the boy, with many saying that he has no actual singing talent. Vishal called out such people who are pitting kids against each other, calling one better than the other.

“Over the last few days I have seen a lot video that ‘this kid should have been more famous, how well he sings. Why is that Bachpan Ka Pyar boy getting so much fame?’ What I want to say is that both of them are kids. Is it necessary to compare them? One might sing very well, other less so. But one’s song got really popular. Does that mean we have to put one guy down to pull the other one up?”

He continued, “It’s a f**ked up mentality. It really is. Can’t they both be good? In their own ways. One entertained us a lot, other is very talented. Can’t it be so? The f**k kind of world are you people living in? It’s just a kid. Usko neecha dikhake aap log kya karre ho? What are you achieving? Don’t do that man. It’s not nice.”

Sahdev Dirdo appeared as guest on Indian Idol recently, where Vishal is a judge. However, Vishal was not a part of that particular episode. The video that went viral was shot in 2019 at Sahdev’s school. His teacher filmed him as he sang the song, cracking up those around him.
