Yashraj Mukhate
Ascending from Anonymity and rose to fame overnight, here comes our favorite- Yashraj Mukhate. (I am hearing the applause in the background already). Maybe the ‘Rasode-mei-Kaun-tha’ debate has not been settled yet but his place in our heart is unyielding. For those who think that he’s just started then let me tell you he is avidly involved in witty music videos for quite some time. The facile wit, groovy tuneful music, and playful expressions, this blessed soul is on another level.
Besides being immensely appreciated by thousands of fans, he has also been acknowledged by many Bollywood celebrities. Not only that, but he has also been roped with Anurag Kashyap. Also, Rupal aka Kokilaben called him to congratulate. Mukhate is still in disbelief by seeing the crazy response for his videos. From an Engineer to a music composer-producer, this 24-year-old guy still has miles to go. The viral musical spoof has created history which bestowed upon him the fame that he was expecting to arrive 5-6 years later. ‘Rasode-mei-Kaun-hai’ is not the only video that deserves our attention but Mukhate’s Instagram feed has a bundle of such fun musical spoofs.
