Jasmine Singh chats up the actor who is making all the right noises with his forthcoming films Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye and Rang Rasiya
Randeep Hooda - does the name ring a bell? We bet it does. He is the guy who conveniently went unnoticed in Monsoon Wedding. And then Ram Gopal Verma took upon the onus to make him noticeable. And he did, courtesy D Company, which did made people sit up and notice the bohemian, rugged looking Haryanvi.
Versatile singer is seldom a term used for someone who is almost half or even less the age of most of the biggies in the music industry. But with Jugpreet Bajwa, conventional is just not the way of life. For this 14-year-old talented singer from Canada, age is a deception, his straight talking is a perfect example, and music is nothing less than a dream dearer than life. And while most of us keep struggling our whole lives for that one dream to come true, his already materialised in a debut album called Juggy De
Nakhre.
The film produced by Mukesh Bhatt, directed by Mohit Suri and stars actors Emraan Hashmi, Adhyayan Suman and Kangna Ranaut.

1965 — It was a memorable year in many respects. Shirley Maclaine was visiting “Lumpy” Dorji, brother of the King of Bhutan. She was looking for her still nascent spirituality. Miss World, Reita Faria, was visiting a lowly planter in the Dooars, West Bengal. All was hunky dory in Mera Bharat Mahan.
