Something similar happened to a teenager from the troubled Rafiabad area of North Kashmir, who created a sensation on social media by singing a famous Bollywood song in his own voice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dhurandhar Song Shots Baramulla Teen To Fame<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For 15-year-old Rasik Ahmad Mir, a Class 9 student from Hachipora village in the Rafiabad area of North Kashmir, this was neither a studio performance nor a reality show &#8211; it was simply a short recording made on a smartphone. And it was his 51st attempt that finally brought his sweet voice and talent before the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO READ| <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.abplive.com\/entertainment\/movies\/ranveer-singh-s-dhurandhar-2-aims-for-historic-rs-1000-cr-profit-milestone-1842042\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ranveer Singh&#8217;s Dhurandhar 2 Aims For Historic Rs 1000 Cr Profit Milestone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like his previous 50 video clips, Rasik uploaded this song clip too and went to sleep. But when he woke up, he discovered that his song was making waves on Instagram &#8211; it had crossed over 30 million views. And this happened with the same song he had casually uploaded after 50 earlier clips that had barely received any attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The song that changed his fate was from the Bollywood film <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dhurandhar: The Revenge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within days, the views climbed into the millions. But the biggest surprise came when Punjabi singer Jasmin Sandlas herself commented on his post.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Teen&#8217;s 50th Reel Goes Viral<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking to ABP News, Rasik said, \u201cI never expected it to get so many views.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I was singing a Kashmiri song to my father, my brother saw me and suggested that I should upload a video (reel) on social media. The first upload hardly got noticed. But I didn\u2019t lose hope and kept posting videos. I uploaded around 50 videos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO READ|<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.abplive.com\/entertainment\/celebrities\/dhurandhar-2-song-rang-de-lal-faces-legal-scrutiny-over-tirchi-topiwale-rajiv-rai-calls-recreation-a-clear-theft-1841978\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Dhurandhar 2 Song Rang De Lal Faces Legal Scrutiny Over Tirchi Topiwale; Rajiv Rai Calls Recreation A &#8216;Clear Theft&#8217;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was the 50th, or perhaps the 51st, video that changed everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His elder brother, who first recognised his talent, still remains his biggest supporter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe told me that I sing very well and that I should continue singing,\u201d Rasik says. He is also grateful to the original artist whose song became the turning point of his life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI myself am surprised at how famous I\u2019ve become on social media. Everywhere, people and relatives are calling my family to ask about this viral song.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis has increased my passion for singing even more, but for me, studies come first. It is also my dream to get a chance to sing on India\u2019s biggest musical platform &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian Idol<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I hope that one day, with my family\u2019s support, I will definitely reach there and represent Kashmir.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rasik\u2019s rise is even more remarkable because he comes from a remote village where there are no formal music institutions, not even easy access to musical instruments. His natural talent, passion, and his brother\u2019s encouragement are what brought him this far.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year, the connection between Kashmir and Bollywood music reached a new height, thanks to two emerging Kashmiri musicians &#8211; Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami. Through their romantic song in Mohit Suri\u2019s film <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saiyaara<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, they won hearts across the country. The song became a massive box-office success and earned crores worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, a ninth-grade boy from a village with no music school, whose video has been viewed over 30 million times, is adding a new chapter to that story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"trending-video-player\">\n<p> <iframe title=\"See Latest Video\" data-src=\"https:\/\/api.abplive.com\/index.php\/playmedianew\/wordpress\/1148388bfbe9d9953fea775ecb3414c4\/e4bb8c8e71139e0bd4911c0942b15236\/1818935?channelId=1&amp;view_type=web&amp;autoplay=1&amp;mute=1\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"lazy-video-iframe\"> <\/iframe> <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"v-title\"><strong>Salman Khan Birthday: Salman Khan Celebrates 60th Birthday in Grand Style at Panvel Farmhouse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source news.abplive.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Show Quick Read Key points generated by AI, verified by newsroom Kashmiri teen&#8217;s Bollywood song cover goes viral on Instagram.
