Shaheer Sheikh, Hina Khan collaborate for new song

Shaheer Sheikh and Hina Khan have come together again after 'Baarish Ban Jaana' for their other single 'Barsaat Aa Gayi'. Through this song, they both portrayed a touching story of love and separation on-screen.

'Barsaat Aa Gayi' is composed by the music composer duo Javed-Mohsin, with lyrics penned by Kunal Vermaa. The song is sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Stebin Ben.


Speaking about the song, Hina said, "The rains evoke several memories to me and is a time I associate with warmth and romance. After the runaway success of 'Baarish Ban Jaana', 'Barsaat Aa Gayi' seemed like a perfect monsoon reunion with my friend Shaheer. How fortunate am I that the great Shreya Ghoshal is doing the vocals for this song? It's got such a catchy riff, and I am waiting eagerly to see the audience reaction to this monsoon track."

Shaheer also added that he shares a special bond with Monsoon and thus he enjoyed working on this track, "My relationship with Monsoon songs goes back to the superhit 'Baarish Ban Jaana' which I did with my close friend Hina way back in 2021. This is a reunion I was looking forward and it couldn't have been a better song than 'Barsaat Aa Gayi'. Stebin Ben and Shreya Ghoshal's vocals, the soothingly melodic composition of Javed-Mohsin, and Kunal Verma's words make it a perfect monsoon song of the year. Here's hoping it becomes everybody's new default romantic rain song."

While the voice behind the song, Shreya also shared, "The beauty of 'Barsaat Aa Gayi' lies in its simple arrangement by Javed-Mohsin and the evocative lyrics by Kunaal. I love how the song connects the rains with the arrival of your loved one. The hook line, 'Tum Jo Aaye Yaara Toh, Barsaat Aa Gayi' - is such a poetic simple thought. After the success of 'Zihaal-E-Miskin' with Javed-Mohsin, I hope this becomes two in a row."

Stebin added, "The rainy season surely calls for all things romance and you want the perfect song to go with it in your playlist, right? 'Barsaat Aa Gayi' is the one to listen to this season. I am also reuniting with Javed-Mohsin, Kunaal Verma, and the unparalleled Shreya Ghoshal after last year's successful 'Baarish Aayi Hain', and I am hoping our dream run continues with this one."

Ranbir's 'Ramayana' will go global using AI, says producer Namit Malhotra

Producer Namit Malhotra is betting big on Ramayana, not just as a film for Indian audiences, but as a story that can speak to viewers across the world. At the WAVES Summit in Mumbai, Malhotra shared how the upcoming mythological drama, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, is being developed with a global ambition, bringing together high-end tech with cultural roots.

He explained that the team isn’t just dubbing the film into other languages. Instead, they’re using real-time AI to match lip movements to multiple languages, so when audiences watch it in English, Spanish, or Japanese, it looks like the actors are actually speaking those tongues. The idea is to avoid the usual detachment of subtitles or awkward dubbing, and instead make the film feel native to each region.

Instagram blocks profiles of Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in India amid rising tensions

The Instagram profiles of Pakistani celebrities like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are no longer accessible in India. This development comes just weeks before Fawad’s planned Bollywood return with Abir Gulaal and follows a series of social media restrictions tied to the worsening India–Pakistan relationship.

When Indian fans try to view the artists' Instagram pages, they’re met with a message: "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." No official clarification has come from either the Indian government or Meta, but the timing is significant. The move comes days after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region killed 26 people, most of them tourists. It was one of the deadliest attacks since the 2008 Mumbai carnage.
