'Then, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Ali Fazal press the gears to decide between career and family. While Ali seems to have been cast to fulfill the unrealised ambition of his character in 3 Idiots, the underrated Fatima excels in a complex role, with her Shruti reminding me of her performance in Modern Love Mumbai.'

Maahi Mereya: Abhijeet Srivastava And Varun Jain Craft A Romantic Ballad That Feels Like Home
Varun Jain and Abhijeet Srivastava's 'Maahi Mereya' is a soulful Hindi-Punjabi ballad about timeless love, composed with raw emotion and simplicity. In an era where love songs often arrive wrapped in sonic fireworks and melodramatic lyrics, Maahi Mereya by Varun Jain and Abhijeet Srivastava cuts through the noise like a quiet breath of fresh air. Released on July 2, this gentle ballad is less about spectacle and more about the stillness of real connection—the kind of love that isn't loud but lingers long after. Blending Hindi and Punjabi, Maahi Mereya captures the emotional resonance of a love that feels like home. The track features heartfelt vocals by Varun Jain, a singer-songwriter known for his soul-stirring melodies, and Abhijeet Srivastava, whose compositions often carry a rare vulnerability. Lyricist Shayra Apoorva pens the song's delicate imagery, painting a portrait of intimacy, stillness, and quiet devotion. 'Abhijeet and I wanted to create something that captures what it means to love someone with your soul and whole heart. Maahi Mereya is for everyone who's ever loved beyond logic. I hope it resonates with everyone who listens, and that they support and love this track as much as they did to all my previous releases," said Varun. Abhijeet added, 'The idea was always intimacy—the kind of melody that makes you pause mid-chaos and just feel at home. We kept it simple, raw, and real. Maahi Mereya is the kind of song that plays in the background when you look at your soulmate with heart eyes. We hope it makes people feel connected to the beautiful, everyday experiences of love." In a time where most romantic anthems chase trends and viral hooks, Maahi Mereya stands quietly apart. It doesn't shout for attention—it earns it through honesty and emotion. With each note, the track invites the listener to slow down, take a breath, and remember what it feels like to be seen. A song for soft-hearted souls and long-term lovers, Maahi Mereya is a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful love songs aren't the loudest—they're the ones that feel like home. First Published:

Last Updated: One of the key highlights of the episode was the actor candidly talking about how his old friends react to his stardom and asking him about the process of filming intimate scenes. Pankaj Tripathi marked his presence on The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 along with the entire cast members of his recently released film, Metro…In Dino. During an interaction with the host and comedian Kapil Sharma, he shared some hilarious insights from his personal and professional lives. One of the key highlights of the episode was the actor candidly talking about how his old friends react to his stardom and ask him about the process of filming intimate scenes. Speaking to Kapil, the Mirzapur actor said, 'Someone asked me a question a few years ago When you shoot an intimate scene, do they place a glass between the actor and the actress?' Then I told them, That's not true. Then he asked, 'Really? Sachme chuu lete ho? (Do you really touch each other?)' Then I said 'Yes'." He added, 'They aren't from the industry, so they are unaware of what goes behind the camera. So they ask several questions. They also ask how actors bleed when a bullet is fired in an action scene." In addition to him, the episode also featured an ensemble cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Fatima Sana Shaikh and director Anurag Basu. Pankaj also opened up about his love story with his wife Mridula Tripathi and said, 'I don't know much about romance because the only person I've ever fallen in love with was my wife and I married her. I am from Bihar and our romance quota is already quite low. However, I'm glad I got to marry the person I romanced with." Anupam Kher, Anurag Basu and others praised him for this. Ali Fazal immediately agreed with him, stating that he also married the person he loves and is grateful for it. Metro…In Dino explores modern love and relationships across different age groups and cities, with a focus on themes of commitment, infidelity and second chances in a relationship. Up next, Pankaj will be seen in the comedy-drama Parivarik ManuRanjan along with Aditi Rao Hydari. The film is directed by Varun V Sharma and produced by Vinod Bhanushali and Himanshu Mehra.
