Once everyone (sort of) regains composure, Shaan takes us through the golden age of MTV, the birth of Indipop, how Shantanu Mukherjee mysteriously became Shaan , unforgettable stories about Biddu, Bappi Lahiri, Sonu Nigam, touring across India, music royalties, mimicry, and why being famous doesn't stop random people from requesting the same song you literally just sang.
