Agsy Meets Mumbai Train Performer Pooja Sharma

Hustle 5, the popular rap battle show, is back with a new generation of voices and a fresh format. Esteemed rapper Badshah returns as Rap Supremo, joined by former contestants MC Square, Paradox, Agsy, and EPR as Squad Bosses. These artists, who once competed on the show, now guide emerging talent.

The season features a special encounter between Squad Boss Agsy, known as the OG Mommy of Hip-Hop, and Pooja Sharma, a Mumbai local train performer who goes by the name Rekha. Agsy, who found her artistic identity partly through Delhi's metro system, connected with Pooja's unique approach of using Mumbai's local trains as her performance stage.

Their meeting aboard the Hustle Express metro symbolized a convergence of different artistic journeys. The segment offered viewers a personal glimpse of Agsy outside the competitive stage and spotlighted Pooja's resilience as a transgender woman building her own space through talent and perseverance. Agsy expressed her desire to elevate Indian hip-hop globally.

Agsy shared her admiration for Pooja's self-made platform, stating, "There's something really powerful about meeting another woman who has created her own space without waiting for someone to give it to her." She emphasized the shared hustle of making people listen, regardless of vastly different backgrounds. Hustle 5 airs every Saturday and Sunday at 7 pm on MTV and JioHotstar.
