Celebs dubsmash to the Benga rap

Bengalureans love their city. And proof to that is the love bestowed on the Benga Rap, the Bangalore Times' Flirt With Your City campaign track. The video has people rapping along, given how it encapsulates the sights and sounds of the city. The Benga rap, which has become an anthem for the hip Bengalurean, has also found equal takers on social media platforms, especially on dubsmash. Among those who are lip-syncing to the Benga rap are actors like

, Pooja Devariya, Meghana Raj, Samyukta Hornad and

, as well as director Senna Hegde. While some are true blue Bengalureans, there are others who find Bengaluru their home away from home, like Sammir, who says he’d move to Bengaluru any given day! “This song is cool, as is the video. It makes me re-live all the memories of this city, which has given me so much,” says Sammir.
Another Bengalurean at heart, Pooja says, “I absolutely enjoyed doing the Dubsmash, so much so, that I wanted to learn the Kannada bits to do it. The Benga rap is very catchy and cool, and goes with the vibe of the city. I’m new to the city and I am exploring it, and the rap feels very in tune with that.”
Actresses Meghana and Samyukta, who are hardcore Bengalureans, loved the song and its connect, with both of them saying that the little nuances like ‘aiyyo’ in the rap add that extra native feel to it. Diganth, who enjoys his rap, adds that this song is very cool and he loves the song and the original video that stars actors like Sudeep and Aindrita Ray.
