'Never Dreamt Of This', Kacha Badam Singer Bhuban Badyakar Lauded By West Bengal Police
Kacha Badam singer Bhuban Badyakar was honoured and lauded for his viral song by West Bengal Police. He also sang for them.
A humble peanut seller named Bhuban Badyakar, a resident of Kuraljuri village, Lakshminarayanpur Panchayat in West Bengal, cycles to villages to earn a living. To attract buyers, he sings a song called Kacha Badam, the one that is spreading like a wildfire on social media, especially Instagram reels and Twitter memes.
The song has become a nationwide sensation, but it is sad he gets no royalty for the viral song.

While Bhuban Badyakar feels overwhelmed with the love he is receiving from across the world, he also hopes that the song brings him due recognition.
"The best part is I am not just a peanut seller now. People see me as a musician and this is a proud moment for not just me but also for my village. I experienced so many things in the past few weeks. I must admit sometimes the attention is leaving me in awkward position. I am not used to this popularity. But I am happy and looking for a better future for my family with help of my music talent," he told Etimes.
