/> It isn't often that we see two entertainers stand up for one another in public.

At deejay Aqeel's club Hype on Wednesday night Akon attended to wave to the crowds. A rather ugly situation was averted when the personnel at the Club tried to stop composer Aadesh Shrivastava from accompanying Akon to the podium.

Akon had to intervene and remind the Club's staff that Aadesh was like his brother.

Says Aadesh, "Yes, there was rather embarrassing situation. I'd have lost my temper if it wasn't for Akon. Akon did persuade me to come on stage with him. He has treated me like a brother from the time I got to know him five years ago. When the idea of a Punjabi track came to me I was hesitant to put it forward to Akon, considering his packed schedule in Mumbai. But he immediately agreed."

The Punjabi recording with Akon on Thursday was a riot with the singer savouring the words to the fullest.

Says Aadesh, "I wrote the lyrics myself. Akon sang the track about the kudi who took away his kaleja like true Punjabi munda. I has given him a rhythm section consisting of violins, the daff, a matka, dholak and table. Akon freaked out."

The singer left Mumbai on Thursday night.

Aadesh Shrivastava said, "The craze for Akon singing in any language is phenomenal. You've to judge how popular Akon is among youngsters in Mumbai by the crowds that gather for him."
