Punjabi Hitmaker Jai Dhir And Yoki Drop Dreamy New Single ‘Velvet Sky'
Last Updated: Jai Dhir drops Velvet Sky with Yoki, a soulful Punjabi pop love song blending deep house and drill, capturing the magic of unspoken emotions. Punjabi pop sensation Jai Dhir has returned with his third original single of the year, Velvet Sky, in collaboration with producer Yoki. Following the success of previous tracks like Sidekick, Leja, and Mirza, Jai continues to expand his vibrant discography with a romantic offering that fuses dreamy melodies with contemporary beats. Velvet Sky is a soft yet energizing Punjabi pop love song that paints an atmospheric narrative of unspoken emotions. Jai Dhir, known for his emotive storytelling and fusion of Punjabi, R&B, and pop sounds, described the song as deeply personal. 'This song came straight from the heart. It is a dreamy love song about feeling a deep, unspoken connection with someone special, and captures the quiet emotions of admiring someone from a distance, like a late-night drive filled with unsaid feelings," he said. 'I just wanted to keep it real and dreamy—something that feels like you're floating in a feeling. The lyrics and melody just flowed, and it all felt too natural. It's one of those songs where every word means something. I hope people connect with the vibe as much as I did while creating it." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jai Dhir (@jaidhir) Adding a fresh sonic layer to Jai's vision, Yoki's production weaves deep house with punchy drill elements to create a lush soundscape. Speaking about the process, Yoki shared, 'I had a blast producing this one. I wanted to mix that chill deep house vibe with some punchy drill elements—something that hits but still lets the emotion breathe. It's got that balance of groove and mood, which I really love. The moment I recorded the raw vocals, I knew exactly where I wanted to take the sound. Super proud of how it turned out within two sessions." Since launching his career at 19, Jai Dhir has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting young voices in India's indie music landscape. Hailing from New Delhi, the 24-year-old artist has carved out a niche with his genre-blending approach. From viral hits like Leja, featured in Netflix's Mismatched Season 2, to Mirza, which racked up over 200 million streams as part of Instagram's 1 Minute Music, Jai's catalogue is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. His collaboration with Pritam on the Punjabi version of Kesariya, officially released by Sony Music India, further solidified his rising star status. With Velvet Sky, Jai Dhir continues to enchant fans with music that is heartfelt and modern, rooted in emotion but elevated by global production styles. The track is now streaming on all major platforms and is already making waves for its lush vibe and poetic storytelling. As he continues to push boundaries and redefine the Punjabi pop genre, Jai Dhir's musical journey shows no signs of slowing down. If Velvet Sky is any indication, he's only getting started.

Vijay Deverakonda reveals how Rashmika Mandanna-Vicky Kaushal's film enraged him: ‘I recently watched Chhaava and…'
Back in February this year, Vicky Kaushal arrived in theatres as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj with Laxman Utekar's Chhaava. Also starring Rashmika Mandanna as his onscreen wife Yesubai Bhonsale and Akshaye Khanna as Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, the historical action film emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025. While Vicky and Rashmika's onscreen chemistry was absolutely adorable, Akshaye was lauded by critics and fans alike for his versatile portrayal of Aurangzeb. All in all, Chhaava managed to impact not just the box office but also the audience, making many emotional with a spine-chilling climax. Well, the film also affected actor Vijay Deverakonda, leaving him 'enraged'. A post shared by Sony Music India (@sonymusicindia) This weekend, actor and Rashmika Mandanna's rumoured boyfriend Vijay Deverakonda graced the pre-release event of Suriya's upcoming film Retro as the guest of honour. During his appearance, host Suma asked Vijay which historical figure he'd like to meet if he could travel back in time. Hearing this, Vijay replied, 'I want to meet the British and give them two tight slaps. I recently watched Chhaava, and it enraged me. I'd probably take the opportunity to give Aurangzeb two to three tight slaps also. I want to meet so many others like that, just to hit them. Right now, it's all I can think of.' During the event, Vijay also spoke about the recent terror attack in South Kashmir's Pahalgam, which left 26 people dead. The actor claimed that the solution is 'education'. He went on to state that Kashmir belongs to India and Kashmiris are our own. Vijay further shared, 'Pakistan can't even look after their own, who don't have proper electricity and water. What do they want to do here? India doesn't even need to attack Pakistan because Pakistanis themselves are fed up with their government and will attack them if this continues.' He concluded that we should stand united. On the film front, Vijay will next be seen in Telugu spy thriller Kingdom, written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri.
