Aditya Gadhvi became a household name after his chartbuster song Khalasi, released on Coke Studio Bharat. The song’s popularity even reached 7 Lok Kalyan Marg. PM Modi praised Gadhvi and his song Khalasi way back in 2023. He wrote, “Khalasi is topping the charts and Aditya Gadhvi is winning hearts for his music. This video brings back memories from a special interaction”.
