Euphoria, live in concert is like a colllective exhale . If you could bottle up pure, unfiltered energy and sell it, it would look exactly like every time we are on stage.. The outfits are always unmatched, the setlist is flawless, and rocking under those dancing lights with our audience is everything we need . Euphoria doesnât just put on a concertâwe create a parallel universe for a few hours.
Usually Main itna tayyaar nahin hota .. but jab hota hoon tohâŚ
You see, today was going to be a special day .. Also every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed Bharatiya man!! đđ..
Dressed up, and showed up.. Spoke up, and turned the volume up.. Ainât no place thatâs quiet when the RocDocâs in the house..but then , as always, the audiences had louder pipes.. The piper was rendered silent for once..
@gitikkaganjudharofficial thank you for picking up the phone and calling me. I can never say no to you.. This day was indeed special.â¤ď¸
Donât leave till you swipe till the end. đ
Celebrating Women.. That's what Euphoria has done throughout our 27 year young career.. So when we were asked if we would like to do this at one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world, guess what we did? Turned up, and Dhoomed the Pichuck out with all 24,000 present in the stadium and millions watching from home..A Euphoria live concert is approximately 3 hours long.. We packed in 3 hours of energy, in 8 High Octane Minutes! Also, the Joy of shouting Ganpati Bappa Moraya! and Bharat Mata Ki Jai, hits different when you are in Mumbai... Does uploading the full video sound like a good Idea?
P.S. @imharmanpreet_kaur fans forever đ¤đť
Some songs arenât just songs⌠they take you back to a specific moment, a specific smell, that one person and the person you used to be.. To me , Ab Na Ja is that song.. itâs all that I couldnât say..
This one I wrote in that moment of anticipatory grief, when I knew my world wonât be the same anymore. Weâve all been there-standing on a porch, sitting in a car, or hanging up a phone call-knowing that a chapter is closing.. And we have all hoped for , pleaded for those 5 more minutes . Hoping sheâd stay back.
She never looked back , but I got a beautiful song. There is some good in every misery.
Well, the seat is still empty but the memory isnât.

27 years back when I started preparing for the release of Dhoom ,i realised Ma wasnât too pleased with my decision to look at an alternate career. Dhoom was released and the rest is history. I made two promises to Ma :
1. She will never feel ashamed of any song or video , I create.
2. â I will forever practice my medicine.
Been 27 years and I have stuck to my promises. But my moment of true glory came in 2012 when Ma agreed to feature in my video about the girl child.. called Main Hoon. And that day my entire journey became worth the blood, sweat, tears and heartbreaks. Ma âs presence in my video told me she was proud of me .. Baaki jisne Jo kehna ya sochna hai, unn sabko mera ek javaab- Maaeri toh suna hoga ?!
Ever heard this song?
23 years back I wrote a ghazal/ qawwali, my way and Djoo composed it his way. Wrote it sitting on my clinic chair on my prescription pad. This song was featured on our third album, Euphoria Gully.. who it was for shall remain under wraps till I write my autobiography or there is a biopic made on our band.
So at the end of a 3 hour concert last night , for a corporate where we made the audience dance and then dance so more, one true Dhoomer requested me to sing this rarely heard gem. I was overwhelmed that I sang it even though I was exhausted. Those who hear Euphoria beyond Maaeri and Dhoom are the truest fans.
All of us were overjoyed, because such moments are what we live for. And a concert where we play our rarely heard songs for a hard core audience is my only dream . Which is your favourite rarely heard Euphoria song???

You will call them memories, nostalgia or whatever, but I call them stories.. Across my career, I have had the good fortune of meeting an extraordinary league of Gentlemen.. Taking you along on a joyride down the pages of this story book called my life..
1. Two boys who OWN the word Dhoom! Jr. B machaata hai, main pichuckta hoon!
2. The Doctor and The Vampire. 2 guys who visit the hospital with completely different sets of intent. Thamma for a reason.
3. No pill that I prescribe, can be as effective as Ka-Pill. Now you know why I never tried my hand at comedy?
4. The only guy I know who wears more hats than I do. Hats, and probably wigs too. Iske liye koii kaise hi kuch likhe?
My kids , Kinshuk & Kynu , are fighting their battles everyday .. no half measures, no shortcuts, no asking for favours. Kin graduated in Cognitive Sciences and Kynu graduated in Biochemistry. Both sing back ups in Euphoria songs . Because they are phenomenal singers. Kin has done 3 films with me as an actor too , because he is a damn good actor. I still donât have a subject that will match Kynuâs acting talent. Kinshuk is right now working for Rachel Chavkin and Ritesh Batraâs The Lunchbox, the musical , in California. He was auditioned & chosen. Like he was previously , by Adi Chopra and Mira Nair, for starring roles in their musicals. No one knew he was my son. Even my bros , Vishal and Sheykhar, who were doing the music of Adiâs musical , NEVER knew who he was.
Kyna works for My Fm. A job where she interned and was chosen for the job on basis of her performance. Not because she was my daughter. So they are their own people , doing their thing and are doing so based on their talent and merit .
Hamaare yahan nepotism nahin hota. Even my nephews- Kaustav and Kartik, Aryaman and Aarit , and Mayas are all achievers on their own steam. Even though their parents are extremely successful.
In fact I must have done way more for other peopleâs kids , than my own đđ
Yes but one thing is there. If someone gets to know they are my children, then one thing is guaranteed. They will be honest , hard working, dignified, pure and incorruptible. Like their dadđđâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸

3 years ago, this wasnât just a music video⌠it was a piece of my soul on screen. It was a dream project ..
No big budget. No guarantees. Just a dream, a sound, and a belief that it had to be heard and seem . We all just took a leap of faith and drove to Bir.. what unfolded was way way better than my dream.
It is a video about misfits , 2 wronged and wrong people who meet by chance .. the most unmatched couple on the planet .. Toh kya?!! Shot in the most beautiful place on the planet.
Today, itâs still alive because of YOU. Every play, every share, every messageâyou have kept it breathing..
If it ever meant something to you⌠go feel it again today.. or if you still havenât watched it, please donât miss out.
3 years later I wanted to thank everyone who made this our happiest and sweetest video. Thank you Preeti, Richa ji, Hardik, Tushy , Pratyakshu, Abhinav , Alokii, Anil, Sonu , Vishii, Shameem , everyone at Rooh, and all the fabulous people of Bir.
As usual all the boys made it Euphoric.. thank you Djoo, Prashant , Rakesh, Nikki , Vishal M and Vishal Dixit.

For a man who has never won awards, since winning a Gold Medal for ENT in his final exam for MBBS, yesterday was a huge night. First, I get to do an interview with my dear bro @bandbaaja who then accompanied me for a spontaneous jam, powered by his superlative guitar skills.. Then I get to address and interact with my family from the live music industry.. Every artist manager, promoter and event manager who I have worked with through my 27 years of playing concerts, was there.. Finally, the icing on the cake was receiving the Indie Music Icon award from 4 illustrious gentlemen, led by the Dynamic Deepak aka DC along with Rabbani, Navneeth and Paddy. This award was special coz it was given to me by the Live Music Industry that has always cared for and respected me. Your love has been the greatest reward that I could have ever received.. So yesterday, I had the honour of receiving this award on behalf of all of you.. This one is yours... So am I â¤ď¸
I want to ride my bicycle .. i want to ride it where i like ..
Throwing it back to a random weekday afternoon in Central Park, New York.. Kin always names his bicycles & his ones are very interesting. I named mine - Axel -F .
All I did that day was cycle and feel the sun.. Sometimes, not doing anything, is the best activity.. i truly believe being happy is better cardio than cycling.
P.S. Never pose while riding. I did, and you can see what happened .. oye hoye đ
Kolkata knows its music & knows how to rock !!
The best feeling is to get on stage in front of the future of the country, and see them jump while singing your songs.. Both of us walked away with a simple learning.. The future of our country and our music is TRULY INDEPENDENT.. Jadavpur University, thank you for holding my hand, and as all your DMs suggest.. Standing by Me.. Euphoria's eternal love story with College festivals continues.. Hind Rock N Roll Forever đ¤đť
