Babuji the rapper

Think all the Alok Nath memes made into a rap song! Babuji Sanskaari Rap featuring the man himself went viral on YouTube rapping up 130,000 views and counting. Hear Babuji sing:

You can’t beat my devotion/ I’m a bhajan in motion, or Mere ghar mein cooker kabhi seeti nahin maarti/ I play only Vividh Bharti. And the catchline that is repeated the most? Yo baby, yo honey, do you know who’s your Bauji? Well, now we do!

babuji the askme.Com man

The ‘Bapp of all Apps’ askme.com brought in Alok Nath for a teaser campaign. Watch Babuji reach out to his viewers through short videos as part of an ad campaign for the question-and-answer social networking app. Wonder if he will have any friends to ask him questions though, since Babuji always changes dosti into rishtedari!

What happens when Alok Nath meets VJ Jose in MTV Grilled? His mere touch changes Jose’s T-shirt into a kurta... call it the #sanskaar effect! Jose shares some Babuji jokes to which he laughs his heart out. Sample one: Alok Nath supports lesbian weddings as he can do kanyadaan from both the sides. Giggle!

babuji on twitter

“Pranaam Twitter world! Finally attending the party you guys threw for me. Let’s hope it’s a good one. Cheers!” tweeted Alok Nath on June 26. He has already earned 10.3K followers. Follow him at @aloknath for #aashirwad and #sanskaar!

babuji on tu mere agal bagal hai

Alok Nath will be seen on SAB TV’s new show Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai. He tells his on-screen son Laal Singh (Rajesh Kumar), “Pata hai jab main paida hua na toh nurse ne jaa kar kya kaha? Badhai ho... badhai ho, Babuji aayen hain.” Watch Laal Singh introduce Babuji to his family and his tenants who have names like Khakra, Khandvi and Pillavakandi. With complex names like that, Babuji suggests that Pillavakandi, played by Sugandha Mishra, shorten her name like actresses Bips, Kats and Bebo!

Alok Nath appears on the show in his Babuji avatar — green kurta, dhoti and trademark muffler. Start ROFL-ing when a hi-tech Babuji says that because of too much demand for his aashirwad, fans can now reach him on his website jagatbabuji.com. Then he meets Ali ‘Dadi’ Asgar (in picture) and his sanskaar takes a back seat when Dadi forces him with a shagun ki pappi on the show!
