Dhvani Bhanushali reflects on six years of ‘Psycho Saiyaan'
Singer Dhvani Bhanushali recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as her chartbuster 'Psycho Saiyaan' from the 2019 action thriller Saaho marked its sixth anniversary. The vibrant track, which became a massive hit upon release, played a pivotal role in Dhvani's career, marking her foray into singing in multiple South Indian languages. Taking to Instagram, Dhvani shared a throwback video of herself dancing to the infectious number, while recalling how the project came her way at a turning point in her journey. ''6 years of Psycho Saiyaan today… and I still remember exactly where I was when it all began. I had just released Vaaste and was in Goa with my friends when I got the call: 'We're doing Psycho Saiyaan in three more languages and you'll be singing all of them,'' she wrote. The multilingual version of the song featured Dhvani's vocals in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. Despite initial nerves, she took the challenge head-on, carefully learning the pronunciation of each syllable in the new languages. She credited the music team for believing in her abilities and called the opportunity a 'big leap' in her musical journey. Adding to the memorable experience was her meeting with Saaho stars Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor on set. Dhvani expressed how touched she was when fans said her voice suited Shraddha perfectly. 'That meant more than I can explain,' she said, highlighting how the song helped shape her path and deepen her connection with listeners. She also expressed gratitude toward co-singer Sachet Tandon and music composer Anirudh Ravichander, calling the collaboration an enriching experience. 'Even now, when I hear you singing it at shows or see your videos online… It reminds me just how powerful music can be,' she shared, thanking fans for keeping the song alive in their hearts. Saaho, directed by Sujeeth, starred Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles. The film revolved around an intense action plot featuring gang wars and undercover missions tied to a massive financial crime. Dhvani's reflections on Psycho Saiyaan not only celebrate a musical milestone but also underline her evolution as a pan-Indian playback singer.

Dhvani Bhanushali on navigating her next sound and dreams: ‘I'm manifesting collab with Diljit Dosanjh'
As the music industry evolves rapidly with the influence of social media and digital algorithms, artists are constantly challenged to keep pace while staying authentic. For Dhvani Bhanushali, this balance is not just necessary, it's non-negotiable. In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times on the occasion of World Music Day, Dhvani opened up about her creative process, the role of personal experience, and her aspirations for global music collaborations. Dhvani Bhanushali highlights the significance of authenticity in music, focusing on personal experiences over social media trends Instead of chasing virality, Dhvani finds inspiration in the everyday conversations, moments of joy, heartbreak, and observation. It's this emotional honesty that makes her music so widely relatable. While she acknowledges that platforms like Instagram offer endless ideas and trends, she cautions against losing oneself in the crowd. "We are constantly influenced by what we see and experience. Life experience is very important for making music. As you live life, themes and stories come to you. When you see Instagram, you see people exploring different things. But you also realise that sometimes, when you try and experiment too much, you forget who you truly are as an artist. I feel you should derive from your own experiences rather than what other people are doing. My algorithm will be defined by me and my audience," Dhvani said. For Dhvani, that 'algorithm' isn't about formulas or filters, it's about connection. What her listeners feel, what resonates in their lives, and what echoes her own emotions form the true foundation of her creative direction. The Pop Romance Era Dhvani's last number, Aankhon with OAFF, Savera, and Ankur Tewari, was a different soundscape from her usual numbers. "I think I got cooler with it. I have never done anything like this before. I wanted to talk about a situationship, and I think it resonated with my audience." Dhvani is now looking forward to putting out music all this year. "I am back to Afro soundscape, which I touched upon when I did Mera Yaar. My next is a proper club number. Now, I am diverging more into pop romance and moving away from the sad girl era. I am in a happy space. I would want to stick to pop, romance, the beats," Dhvani said. Eyes on the global stage Dhvani's vision isn't limited by borders. The singer is clear about her global ambitions and the artists who inspire her. 'I really want to work with Camila Cabello. I have been a fan of hers since the time I began. I love Post Malone.' These choices reflect a fusion of pop, soul, and versatility, very much like her own evolving sound. And while she's set her sights internationally, one collaboration hits closer to home. 'I am manifesting a collaboration with Diljit Dosanjh… I always tell him he is such an inspiration for so many artists, including me.' Having previously collaborated with Diljit on the massive hit Sauda Khara Khara in Good Newzz, Dhvani sees him as a role model—proof that Indian artists can break boundaries and cross cultures.

Daughter awaits at graduation, but family never arrives
Vadodara: What was meant to be a moment of pride and celebration turned into a nightmare no family could anticipate. A joint family from Vasad in Anand district, planned to reunite in London for a milestone — the graduation ceremony of their daughter, Dhvani Patel. Instead, grief now hangs heavy over their home, with three family members lost in Thursday's crash. Rajnikant Patel (58), his wife Divya Patel (54) and his sister-in-law Hemangini Patel (58) had boarded Flight AI171 from Ahmedabad to Gatwick, looking forward to celebrating Dhvani's MBA convocation at Middlesex University on June 23. Moments after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, the aircraft crashed. It claimed the lives of 33 people from Anand district alone. "My sister, Dhvani, is in East London, studying business and management. We were all excited to be there with her as she received her MBA degree. It was supposed to be a family moment," said Parth Patel, Hemangini's son, struggling to hold back tears. "Instead, I'm now planning funerals." The Patel family, who own the Krishna Riverside Resort in Vasad, were known for their warmth, hospitality, and being a tightly knit household. Living together on High School Road, their home was always bustling with relatives, guests and laughter. Now it stands eerily quiet. For Parth, the tragedy is a cruel blow upon another. "Just last year, I lost my father, Arun Patel, to a heart attack. Now I've lost my mother, uncle and aunt. In one year, I've been left almost alone," he said. Now, only he, his wife, his daughter and cousin sister remain from what was once a vibrant family unit. The pain has been compounded by the wait to identify the deceased. "We're waiting for my 'foi' (paternal aunt) to arrive from the US — only her DNA sample can confirm my uncle's identity. She's on her way," said Parth. The loss is not limited to the family. The Patels were well-respected in Vasad — a town known for its toor dal and defined by its sense of community. "Rajnikant wasn't just a neighbour, he was a dear friend. His death is a deeply personal loss," said Anand MP Mitesh Patel, who, along with Kheda MP Devusinh Chauhan, visited the grieving family on Friday.

Dhvani Bhanushali comes with a new song ‘Aankhon'
Pop sensation Dhvani Bhanushali continues to expand her artistic horizons. The singer, known for chart-topping tracks like Vaaste and Dilbar, has now collaborated with the celebrated musical duo OAFF x Savera for an upcoming track titled Aankhon. The song, which also features Ankur Tewari, is dropped on April 29. Creating buzz, Dhvani took to social media to share vivid and psychedelic visuals from the track. The song showcases at a vibrant and playful vibe, exciting her fans further. 'Aankhon. Pre save link in bio,' she simply captioned the post, urging listeners to gear up for the musical treat. While her music career continues to soar, Dhvani also made her acting debut last year with Kahan Shuru Kahan Khatam, directed by Saurabh Dasgupta. She starred opposite Aashim Gulati and portrayed a character named Meera. In a recent interaction, Dhvani revealed that her character was heavily influenced by Kareena Kapoor's iconic role as Geet in Jab We Met. 'I'm a huge fan of Kareena,' Dhvani said. 'Geet felt so authentic, like an extension of Kareena herself. Her confidence is something I really admire.' She added that her character Meera channels a similar energy — bold, spirited, yet emotionally layered. Though she acknowledges that no one can replicate Kareena's magic, Dhvani shared, 'I've done my best to bring my own interpretation to Meera while staying inspired by Geet.' With a promising new track and acting aspirations in full swing, Dhvani Bhanushali is clearly carving a unique space in both music and cinema.
