Jubin Nautiyal says he is shifting from sad songs to uplifting romantic numbers
'Genres have been hard back in the day. In 10 years of singing regularly, I've figured out that whenever I'm recording a song, I only think about whether I'll be able to do it or not. I always went and tried no matter if it worked or fails,' the singer told PTI in an interview.
Nautiyal, whose voice has often defined heartbreak for a generation, said he is now discovering new dimensions in his singing.
'I'm able to sing genres which I never thought I could sing. I'm realising that people have started loving the romantic side of me, and I'm getting to do a lot of more fresh romantic sound.
"There was a time when I was getting associated with the sad voice. To do 'Ishq Mera' and to get to sing 'Barbaad', which is a passionate romantic song, is a great thing,' he added.
"Barbaad" is a track from filmmaker Mohit Suri's latest movie "Saiyaara", which marks the acting debut of Ahaan Panday, the cousin of actor Ananya Panday. It features Aneet Padda, known for her roles in 'Big Girls Don't Cry' and 'Salaam Venky', as the female lead.
The 36-year-old singer expressed his gratitude to Suri for entrusting him with the song and believes it was tailor-made for his voice.
'Mohit knew how the song would sound in my voice before he even approached me. He was very confident. He's like, 'There's a song and I want you to do it'. 'Barbaad' can come across as a sad song, but it's not. I sang it like a sad song but then Mohit said that it's a falling in love song. This is one of those songs that people are listening to on loop and are making covers for it. When a song is good, that's what happens,' Nautiyal said.
Nautiyal said it's a 'dream' for any musician to work with Suri, calling the filmmaker a 'cool guy', who provides clear creative direction.
'I like the way he puts music in his films, how he shoots music, and how he presents it,' the singer said, adding that Suri's talent lies in creating compelling soundscapes that resonate with audiences of all ages,' he said.
'Saiyaara' is produced by YRF's CEO Akshaye Widhani, and is set to release on July 18 worldwide.

This Actress Started Bold, Married Into Royalty And Was Even Linked To Imran Khan
1/10 In the film industry, it is often believed that an actress's career comes to an end once she becomes a mother. However, one actress defied this stereotype by beginning her career after marriage and motherhood, making a striking impression with her debut. That actress is Moon Moon Sen, who captivated audiences in the 1980s with her beauty and style. Despite the controversies that surrounded her, Moon Moon Sen left an unforgettable mark on the industry. Beyond acting, she also ventured into politics, achieving success there as well. Moon Moon Sen hails from a wealthy background. Her grandfather, Adinath Sen, was a successful businessman, and her mother, Suchitra Sen, was a celebrated Bengali actress. In 1978, Moon Moon Sen married Bharat Dev Verma, a member of a royal family and a businessman. The couple has two daughters, Riya and Raima Sen, both of whom tried their hand at Bollywood but did not find much success. Moon Moon Sen started her film career at the age of 30, after she was married and a mother, surprising many with her bold choices. Her debut film was Andar Bahar (1984), followed by notable roles in films like the thriller Sheesha (1986) with Mithun Chakraborty, the horror romance 100 Days (1991) alongside Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff and the action drama Zakhmi Dil (1994) with Akshay Kumar. She also starred in Sirivennela (1986), Mohabbat Ki Kasam (1986), Musafir (1986), 12B (2001) and the horror romance Kuch To Hai (2003). Moon Moon Sen appeared in a total of 60 films and over 40 TV shows across Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Marathi cinema. Her performance in Sirivennela earned her several awards in 1987. Before entering films, Moon Moon Sen studied English Literature and taught at a school in Kolkata. She is also an Oxford graduate. Later, she joined Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress to pursue a career in politics. Moon Moon Sen's personal life attracted significant media attention. She was linked romantically to Saif Ali Khan, producer Romu Sippy, Victor Banerjee, and former Pakistani cricketer and ex-prime minister Imran Khan. Reports suggested she and Imran Khan dated while she was married, and the two even posed for a magazine shoot. In a 2019 interview with PTI, Moon Moon Sen addressed these rumours, explaining she enjoyed Imran Khan's company and saw no problem as her husband was understanding. She clarified their relationship was purely friendship.

In an interview with News18 Showsha, composer Tanishk Bagchi shared that both Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda were present in the studio when the chartbuster title track of 'Saiyaara' was being recorded. So, what was his first impression of them? 'The first time I met Ahaan was at Yash Raj Films when we were recording the title track. He's a very humble kid. He doesn't have the tantrums or the attitude of a hero. He's also a brilliant actor. At that time, I didn't get a glimpse of his acting chops but I liked his energy and presence, he revealed."

With an India net collection of Rs 248.43 crore in just 10 days, the film has outpaced major star-driven releases like Shah Rukh Khan 's Dunki (Rs 227 crore) and Ajay Devgn 's Singham Again (Rs 247.86 crore). Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , Saiyaara was initially viewed as a promising debut vehicle. But what followed was a box office phenomenon that not only defied expectations but also reaffirmed the power of storytelling and music-driven romance. Under the deft direction of Mohit Suri and backed by a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, Saiyaara struck a chord with audiences across metros and mass belts alike. Released with solid buzz, Saiyaara opened with an impressive Rs 21.5 crore on its first Friday. What truly stunned the trade was the film's phenomenal growth over the opening weekend — Rs 26 crore on Saturday and a massive Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday.
