Singer-songwriter Bappi Lahiri will be making an appearance on Salman Khan’s reality show Bigg Boss 15 on Sunday. In the promo for the episode, Salman Khan can be seen introducing Bappi Lahiri and saying, “Pehli baar Bappi da aaye hain Bigg Boss me. Bahut kam log jaante hain ki Bappi da ka actual naam Alokesh hai (This is the first time you have visited Bigg Boss. Not many know that Bappi da’s actual name is Alokesh).”

Bappi then laughs and responds, “My son’s name is Arunesh. Iske baad jo bhi hoga (the one to be born next will be named), suitcase.” Of course, it left Salman Khan in splits. 

Bappi’s grandson Rego aka Swastik Lahiri then appears after being invited by Salman Khan. Swastik’s mother is Rema Lahiri, who is Bappi’s daughter. 

The 68-year-old singer’s popular songs include ‘I am a Disco Dancer’, ‘Raat Baaki’, ‘Pag Ghoongroo’, ‘Bambai Se Aaya Mera Dost’, ‘Naino Main Sapna’, ‘TaakiTaaki’, ‘Humko Aaj Kal Hain Intezaar’, among many others.

Bappi talked about Rego’s new song and told PTI, “I am really happy and proud that my grandson is starting off his career in music so early on. ‘Bachcha Party’ is a song that suits his personality and style and is best suited for him thanks to Shameer Tandon who discovered the spark in Rego and has composed the song that suits him best.”
