Mumbai, July 14 (NationPress) Actor, singer, and politician Babul Supriyo has fallen ill after getting caught in the rain. On Monday, he took to Instagram to share a video of himself performing 'Zamaana Lage' while he is recuperating and resting.
The monochrome video showcases him singing with a raspy voice. He mentioned that his illness followed a rainy ride on his classic motorcycle.
In his caption, he shared, “Rode back from a meeting on my Bullet. Got drenched in the rain, super happy. Now, with a fever - lying in bed - working from home - raspy voice. Enjoying some soft music in the background. I've loved this song since its release.”
He also praised music composer Pritam, adding, “Beautifully crafted by @ipritamofficial. Elegantly sung by Arijit & @shashwatsinghofficial... Intense, Meaningful Lyrics. Felt like singing, just like that. PS: My daughters say my facial expressions & closed eyes make me look funny. But who cares... As long as I sound 'okay okay' without any 'make-up' on my voice (sic).”
Earlier, he honored the late Bengali cinema legend Uttam Kumar by posting a monochromatic clip from one of his films. In the video, the actor can be seen exchanging dialogue while treating a patient with a bullet wound, assuring him that the bullet isn't lodged inside.
Babul Supriyo currently holds the position of Cabinet Minister for Information Technology and Electronics in the Government of West Bengal.
In the 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election, he contested from Tollyganj (Vidhan Sabha constituency) on a BJP ticket, facing a surprising defeat by over 50,000 votes. He later remarked that West Bengal made a 'historic mistake' by voting for TMC. However, on September 18, 2021, he joined TMC in the presence of Abhishek Banerjee.
