Aap Jaisa Koi: Madhavan And Fatima Sana Shaikh's Chemistry Shines In Melodious Jab Tu Sajan'
Last Updated:
'Jab Tu Sajan' from Aap Jaisa Koi brings soulful romance with R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh's chemistry set against a monsoon-perfect backdrop.
Sometimes, the most profound love doesn't roar with fireworks—it arrives like a quiet monsoon drizzle, soft and soul-stirring. That's the essence of Jab Tu Sajan, the newly released love ballad from the upcoming Netflix film Aap Jaisa Koi, starring R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Directed by Vivek Soni and produced under the Dharmatic Entertainment banner by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra, the film is set to premiere globally on July 11, 2025.
Sung by the ever-expressive Mohit Chauhan, with music by Rochak Kohli and lyrics by Gurpreet Saini, Jab Tu Sajan is a poetic ode to quiet companionship and the kind of love that sneaks up on you. It's a song that moves with grace and melancholy, evoking emotions that feel familiar yet freshly vulnerable. With its evocative melody and contemplative lyrics, it perfectly captures the undercurrent of connection between the film's leads—a connection that doesn't demand attention but thrives in silences and subtleties.
R. Madhavan, who returns to a romantic lead in this film, spoke with deep affection about the track. 'This is the song I've been most excited about in a long time. It's not a one-time listen—it takes over your soul. I've had the fortune of some timeless tracks, and Jab Tu Sajan is right up there. Mohit's voice brings such sincerity and ease—it lingers long after it ends. There's a quiet magic in the way he captures emotion. This one's close to my heart—it speaks of love in its purest form."
Fatima Sana Shaikh echoed that sentiment, saying, 'The moment I heard Jab Tu Sajan, I felt an instant connection. It's one of those songs that stays with you—soft, honest, and deeply real. Just like the relationship in the film, it grows on you slowly and meaningfully. It's amazing to be part of a story where the music carries as much emotion as the characters do."
Singer Mohit Chauhan described the experience as both personal and powerful. 'This song isn't about dramatic declarations—it's about the kind of love that unfolds quietly, the kind that feels like it's always been there. There's tenderness in it, a lived-in quality that's rare to find. When I first heard the composition, it struck me how Rochak and Gurpreet had managed to capture something so emotionally still yet so moving. To lend my voice for R Madhavan was indeed very special and I hope this one will resonate with both our fans."
Composer Rochak Kohli shared his vision behind the composition, 'With Jab Tu Sajan, we wanted to create something that felt like home, yet leave a mark—something that people would instinctively hum. With Mohit sir's timeless voice and Gurpreet's honest words, I think we found that sweet spot."
Lyricist Gurpreet Saini, whose words breathe quiet longing into the song, reflected on the emotional depth of writing it: 'Writing the lyrics for Jab Tu Sajan was a deeply personal experience. I wanted to capture the subtlety of love—the kind that doesn't rush or demand attention but grows quietly and steadily. It's about celebrating those unspoken moments that define true connection."
Set against the backdrop of Aap Jaisa Koi, a film that promises to explore themes of rediscovery, second chances, and quiet companionship, Jab Tu Sajan sets the perfect emotional tone. The song doesn't beg for grand romanticism—it invites the listener into a more grounded, emotional space, where love feels lived-in, imperfect, and real.
As monsoon clouds gather and the scent of rain fills the air, Jab Tu Sajan is poised to become the season's soundtrack for all those who find magic in the gentle ache of love. And if the song is any indication, Aap Jaisa Koi may just offer a story that feels like a soft, heartfelt conversation between two souls learning to love again.

Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders confirm 400% pay raise in Netflix's America's Sweethearts — here's what they're earning now
The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, one of the NFL's most iconic squads, are receiving a substantial pay increase following the release of the Netflix docuseries America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. As revealed during Season 2, which premiered on June 18, 2025, squad members are now earning 400% more than in previous seasons, marking one of the most significant wage shifts in the team's history. What the Netflix series America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders revealed In America's Sweethearts, the cheerleaders gave an unfiltered look at their lives, highlighting both the physical demands of the job and the financial realities many faced behind the scenes. While the team's image has long been associated with glamour and prestige, the series made it clear that compensation hadn't kept pace. During the second season, cheerleader Megan McElaney, a four-year veteran, confirmed the new raise on camera. 'Our efforts were heard, and they wanted to give us a raise,' she said. 'And we ended up getting a 400% increase, which is, like, life-changing.' Her statement came after months of internal discussions between team leadership and returning squad members, who pushed for more equitable compensation as the franchise continued to grow in visibility and revenue. A history of underpayment Calls for fairer wages are not new. In 2019, the Cowboys settled a lawsuit filed by former cheerleader Erica Wilkins, who alleged she was making as little as $7 per hour, with no overtime pay and $200 per game. That legal action resulted in the team doubling game-day pay from $200 to $400, but base hourly wages remained low—around $15 an hour as recently as 2024. The Netflix docuseries helped reignite public and internal attention to these concerns, giving current members a national platform to voice the need for updated pay standards. What the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders make now Following the 400% increase, current Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are earning: $75 or more per hour for rehearsals, appearances, and related duties Up to $2,000 per game day, compared to $500 before the raise Weekly earnings around $1,600, depending on scheduling and event participation While the pay increase marks a dramatic improvement, the cheerleaders remain classified as part-time employees, which means they do not receive health insurance or long-term employment benefits. However, they continue to have access to the Cowboys' medical staff during the season. Why this matters The Dallas Cowboys are consistently ranked as the most valuable sports franchise in the world, with a current estimated valuation exceeding $10 billion. For years, many have argued that the cheerleaders, integral to the team's brand identity and media presence, were being underpaid despite their contributions. With America's Sweethearts shining a spotlight on these issues, the newly announced raise is being viewed not only as a win for the current team but as a pivotal moment for cheerleaders across the NFL.
