Indian rapper Badshah is facing backlash after being allegedly involved in a traffic violation in Gurugram, Haryana, on December 15, 2024. Reports suggest that he was part of a convoy that was fined $182 for driving on the wrong side of the road. The vehicle involved, a Mahindra Thar, was fined for dangerous driving under various sections of the Motor Vehicles Act. While Badshah was part of the convoy, it remains unclear if he was the one driving the vehicle.
Gurugram Police confirmed the vehicle was registered under the name Dipender Hooda of Panipat. The police also clarified that the investigation was based on the vehicle’s number plate, and further inquiries are being conducted. Badshah’s team has denied the allegations, calling them “defamatory” and “false,” stating that Badshah was not behind the wheel.

This incident has sparked discussions about the enforcement of traffic laws, with many urging that accountability should be upheld, regardless of a person’s celebrity status.
In a separate matter, Badshah addressed rumors surrounding his relationship with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir, emphasizing that they are good friends. At the Sahitya AajTak 2024 event, he clarified that their bond is purely platonic, stating, “Hania is a very good friend of mine, and we share a great connection.” He added that while their friendship is often misinterpreted, they have a wonderful equation, and there’s no romantic involvement. Hania also shared her perspective, explaining that their friendship started casually through social media, with Badshah commenting on her post and later messaging her. Both emphasized the importance of friendship without romantic connotations.
