Mumbai: Harmeet Singh delivered one of the most emotionally charged performances of MTV Hustle 5, leaving both the audience and judges deeply impressed with his rendition of “Roti.” The performance became particularly memorable after Badshah drew a striking comparison with one of Gurdas Maan’s iconic songs of the same name.
Harmeet, who is part of Agsy’s Alphas squad on the rap reality show, has steadily built a reputation for bringing a different emotional depth to his performances. His latest Roti act once again showcased that side of his artistry, with the rapper touching upon emotions and realities that resonated strongly with viewers.

The performance reportedly moved everyone in the room, prompting Badshah to make a remarkable observation. Praising Harmeet’s take on the subject, Badshah said, “This might be above Gurdas Maan’s ‘Roti’ song.”
Coming from a rapper and music personality like Badshah, the comparison immediately became one of the standout moments of the episode. Gurdas Maan’s Roti is regarded as a memorable Punjabi song that uses the everyday staple as a way of talking about life and deeper social realities. Harmeet’s interpretation brought the subject into the world of contemporary hip-hop while retaining its emotional core.
The moment also underlined Harmeet’s growth throughout MTV Hustle 5. Rather than relying solely on punchlines and technical rap, the contestant has been winning attention with performances that lean heavily into storytelling and personal emotion.
Harmeet’s journey with Agsy’s Alphas has already produced several performances that have caught the audience’s attention. His ability to switch between hard-hitting rap and vulnerable storytelling has helped him stand out among the contestants competing on the show.
The Roti performance appears to have taken that connection with the audience a step further. Social media reactions following the performance have also highlighted the emotional impact of the song, while Badshah’s comparison has given the performance an additional talking point.
With MTV Hustle 5 continuing to showcase emerging voices from India’s hip-hop scene, Harmeet Singh’s latest performance has established itself as another important moment in his journey on the show.
