Who is Rahul Fazilpuria, the 'kar gayi chull' singer making poll debut from Gurugram? 

Rahul Yadav Fazilpuria, who rose to fame with the song 'Ladki beautiful kar gayi chull' has thrown his hat into the ring for the Lok Sabha elections. He is contesting from the Gurgaon Lok Sabha constituency as a Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) candidate.

Rahul Yadav Fazilpuria, born on April 10, 1990, hails from Fazilpuria Jharsa, a small village on the Haryana-Rajasthan border.

His journey to stardom began in 2014 with his hit rap song 'Ladki beautiful kar gayi chull'. The song’s popularity soared further when it was featured in the 2016 Bollywood movie 'Kapoor and Sons,' starring Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt.

Fazilpuria’s success in the music industry didn’t stop there. He continued to promote Haryanvi folk music while also making significant strides in Bollywood. Over the years, he released several hit songs and albums, including 'Masti Mai,' 'Billo Rani,' and 'High Rated Gabru.' He also composed music for Bollywood films such as 'Khamoshiyan' and 'Mastizaade.'

The singer has often been in the headlines for his collection of luxury vehicles and accessories. He moves around in a Hummer and a Lamborghini, rides a Harley Davidson, and sports gold-studded Rolex watches and heavy gold chains.

Fazilpuria is no stranger to controversies

Fazilpuria’s journey has been filled with controversies. In November 2023, he found his name in a scandal involving the use of snake venom at a rave party, an incident that also involved Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav. While Yadav claimed that the snakes were arranged by Fazilpuria, the singer denied any involvement, stating that the snakes were provided by his production team solely for a video shoot. Despite the denials, the controversy continued to follow him, with further legal issues arising in March 2024 due to a petition filed by animal rights activist Saurabh Gupta.

Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), a youth-oriented political party led by Haryana’s former deputy chief minister, Dushyant Chautala, officially nominated Rahul Yadav Fazilpuria on April 16 as its candidate for the Gurgaon Lok Sabha seat. He is set to contest against the five-time MP and BJP stalwart Rao Inderjit Singh, Congress candidate Raj Babbar, and local Kusheshwar Bhagat, the Pao Bhaji seller.

As Gurgaon prepares for the Lok Sabha elections on May 25, all eyes will be on Rahul Yadav Fazilpuria. His blend of celebrity status, grassroots connection, and bold personality makes him a unique contender in this high-stakes political battle.
