“I wanted to have an image like Elvis Presley”, says Bappi Lahiri on Indian Idol 12

MUMBAI: A stage that has seasoned through 11 years of musical memories and has successfully provided the nation with the finest voices year on year. This year, season 12 of Indian Idol has already become memorable as the legendary Bappi Lahiri graced the sets and filled the air with his musical magic. 
 
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 stating, “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. I was also really fascinated with the way Elvis Presley has his own identity and I too decided to have my own, and here I am today.”
