Whew! If Bappi knew that coming on SRGMP EMAET would expose him to such ridicule, he might never have agreed to come on the show.
But then, considering that he's such a rooter for free publicity, he probably would have enjoyed being the center of attraction on IF. 😛
When you say Bappi da, you think "GOLD". And true to form, almost all the caption entries revolved around that.
Whether it was rachna_5, who rattled out the origins of each and every one of his numerous ornaments, or jayc1234, who attributed the emergence of his 'golden voice' to his jewelry. 😆
ad_0112 suggested that Hrishikesh should wear as much gold as Bappida to attract Prajakta's love, while deepboy raised concerns about his gender (I don't blame you deep, that is too much gold for a man 😆).
angel1601 felt it was gold and only gold that could brighten PH's performance, ans24us1 broke the news that TV's chain gift was actually a 5 rupee imitation, and mink went into some Bappi da bragging that, just like P and H, none of us could understand 😕.
SolidSnake and leoni tortured us with some original Bappi da songs 🤢
svh2010 and kabhi_21 provided some sneaky tips for PH to attract more stars, which included copying other participant behavior, and even recording and lip-synching to their songs! Ek dum Bappi da style. 😡
Vikram_Singh told us an interesting story about the emergence of three music maestros, Bappi da, Leslie Lewis, and HR, inexplicably linked together with their trademark accessories. (But didn't Bappi da emerge 20 years before HR did, Vikram 😕)
Jaadugar couldn't let go of an opportunity of a hidden attack aimed at the chatters here on IF. Kahin pe nigahen, kahin pe nishaana.... 😉
But at the end, simplyskud stole the show with his "golden" muhavras:
Hrishikesh and Prajakta : Sir, Aajkal ke music directors pey aapka kya vichaar hai .....yeh sab HR, vishal-shekhar and unke sab hits?
Bappi : Jab hum un sabka gaana sunte hoi, mujhe yaad aata hai ki ek saying hai "All that glitters is not gold .."
Hrishikesh : Aapka matlab ... 'nakli sona' ? Phir market mein itney saare nakli sona kyun ?
Bappi : Isiliye ki hamari pehchaan bane. Woh ek english saying hai na "There wouldn't be such a thing as counterfeit gold if there were no real gold somewhere".
Prajakta : Sir, aap gold ka bahut bada fan hai ... itna gold pehentey hai, har gaana bhi aapka 'golden' hai .... TV'ko bhi aapney gold chain dey diya ..... aur yeh sab baatein bhi 'golden' hai ..... par aajkal aapka 'golden' music market mein kyun nahi aa raha hai ?
Bappi : Aare woh ek saying hai na "Silence is Golden" aur tum dono to jaantey ho mujhey 'gold' sey bahut jyada pyar hai. Isiliye aajkal chup rehta hu.
Hrishikesh (whispering to Prajakta) : Remember that saying .... "An ass is but an ass, though laden with gold ....."
😉 😉 😉 😉
Congrats simplyskud. 👏👏👏 Now that's what we call 'Bappi da meets William Shakespeare'. Vidhu Vinod Chopra, anyone?
(Oh, and a special mention for poor Daiz, who admitted that her attempted caption went down the recycle bin, which, in my opinion, is really where all that gold and Bappi's post-gold-mania music belongs)
