Music composer Vipin Patwa, who has delivered some popular tracks in the past, is presently in news for his latest indie song ‘Tu Mujhse Juda’ starring Mohsin Khan and Eisha Singh. Presented by Zee Music, the song has been sung beautifully by Akhil Sachdeva and Vipin’s wife Divya Kohli. It hit YouTube on 15th December 2022 and has been well-received by the audience.
In a conversation with Eastern Eye, Vipin talks about what went into making ‘Tu Mujhse Juda’ and his association with Zee Music.
The singer-composer says that it is always a very good experience when one composes a new song. Sharing how ‘Tu Mujhse Juda’ came into being, he says, “Zee Music is coming with lots of singles with various artists from all over the country. And Zee Music head Anurag Bedi sir is doing great work in the music industry. This time Zee Music Company had made a small 3-minute song which they made to 4 and half minutes as per the requirement and asked me to add some music/elements to that portion to make it even more interesting. I saw the visuals and loved the story and composed it accordingly. Then added Pahadi folk music to it. Kumaar ji penned the lyrics, and I composed a Pahadi folk melody. Singers - Akhil Sachdeva, and Divya Kohli's voices sound good to me. Even the actor’s performance is very impressive, Eisha Singh and Mohsin Khan. And when I submitted this song to Zee, the director of the song, Zee Music Company, the singer, etc., everyone was happy. Even my whole team of mixing engineers, musicians, etc… everyone liked it.”
Vipin has been a very sought-after name in the Bollywood music industry in the last few years. After delivering music for popular Hindi films, the talented composer's last Indie song 'Naach Baby' was also a superhit that has now crossed over 21 million+ views on YouTube.
Vipin started his journey as Radio Jockey on All India Radio in 2002. Excited about his first-ever role as a composer, he began composing jingles and songs for AIR and was quite successful in this stint. Having gained some amount of experience and expertise, Vipin was looking for greater opportunities, thus he decided to swoop into the Bollywood music industry. In January 2009, he landed in Mumbai with all his bags and baggage.
After some years of struggle, Vipin got his first break with Joe Rajan's ‘Luv You Soniyo’. He created songs for his first Bollywood film along with music composers Remo Fernades and Sunila Bhatia. From here, his journey into stardom had taken a jump start. Soon after Luv You Soniyo, his compositions in films like ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’, ‘De De De Pyaar De, ‘The Girl On The Train’, ‘Main Aur Charles’, ‘Bollywood Diaries’, ‘Laal Rang’, ‘Ye Stupid Pyar’ were noticed, and appreciated.
Be it a heart-rending number like Matlabi Yariyan from ‘The Girl On The Train’, ‘Ishq Mera’ from ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’ or the popular ‘Tain to Uttey’ and ‘Sehmi Hai Dhadkan from ‘Daas Dev’, Vipin has been versatile and fervent in all his compositions. The soulful Auliya from ‘Hum Chaar’ voiced by Atif Aslam was one of the most melodious compositions of 2019. The song went on to become very popular and topped the charts for a very long time.
“Talking about my upcoming projects, I have one film (Hari Om Hari), one comedy film for Krushna Abhishek, one Randeep Hooda film too, and a few singles for Zee Music Company,” he signs off.
Romesh admits he’s aware of possible overexposure but says he chooses work based on gut feeling and quality.
He makes his West End debut opposite Sheridan Smith in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind.
The play runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 9 December to 28 February, then in Sunderland and Glasgow in March.
Romesh will play Bill, the doctor who links Susan’s real and imagined worlds.
He balances television, radio, and stage work by turning down offers he doesn’t think he can do well.
Romesh Ranganathan says he knows the word “overexposure” follows him around and he’s decided it’s a risk worth taking. The comedian, who is making his West End debut, told the BBC he deliberately turns down roles at times but will say yes when a job feels right, putting “overexposure” and the play’s pull, plus the chance to work with Sheridan Smith, at the centre of his decision. This new stage turn comes as Romesh juggles television presenting, radio, and touring stand-up, and it is also his first proper stage role since primary school.

What does Romesh mean by overexposure?
He’s not talking theory. He’s talking experience. Romesh openly acknowledges people tell him “you’re on everything,” a phrase he quotes, not hides from. His defence, though, is practical. He asks whether the project is something he’d watch, whether he can do it justice, and yes, whether there’s a fee. That’s his filter. Plain as that.

Why take the West End risk with Sheridan Smith?
Because the role felt right. Romesh will play Bill, the doctor connecting Susan’s two worlds, in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind. Sheridan Smith leads as Susan, and Romesh says working opposite her is “exciting and intimidating.” He’s honest about nerves; that’s part of the point. He wants the challenge, even if it raises his profile further.
The production runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London from 9 December until 28 February, followed by dates at Sunderland Empire and a run at Theatre Royal, Glasgow, in March 2026 (Glasgow 10–14 March; Sunderland 4–7 March). The revival is directed by Michael Longhurst and keeps close to Ayckbourn’s original while offering a fresh staging.
How Romesh is balancing television, radio, and theatre
Romesh fronts shows including Parents Evening and hosts a BBC Radio 2 slot, plus podcasts and tours. He’s selective, he says. He’ll keep doing varied work, including television, radio, and stage, but only when he feels it’s the right fit. If the public tires of him? He joked he might go and work in a café. For now, he’s stepping on stage.
