Akanksha Bhandari drops her most experimental track yet
Akanksha Bhandari, singer-songwriter, has released her latest single
Promise
, a bold and feminine Punjabi pop ballad, very distinct from her previous releases. With this powerful new single, she steps into an emotionally charged space, channeling the voice of a woman who loves fiercely, wholly, and without fear.
With a vibrant yet soulful sonic backdrop produced by Kimeraa, the song captures the raw vulnerability of a girl deeply in love—where love is not just a desire but a lifeline. Her voice soars as she confesses her heart's deepest longing: a lifetime of unwavering love, asking her lover to stay true to the promises he once made.
Sharing her thoughts on this release, Akanksha said, ''Promise' is one of my most experimental tracks so far. It blends a dark, moody soundscape with romantic, heartfelt lyrics—a combination that felt unusual but exciting to explore. I'm always looking to push my musical boundaries, and with this song, I wanted to showcase a different side of me. The melody for this song came to me quite spontaneously, and once Kimeraa came on board for the production, he instantly understood my vision.
Rehan's lyrics tied it all together so seamlessly. I really hope people resonate with this new sound and continue to support my music.'

After her stint with Bigg Boss 18, Yamini Malhotra wants to try projects in South Cinema; says ' There's so much beauty in the writing and depth of characters'
Actor , who was last seen in Bigg Boss 18, is now setting her heart on South Indian cinema. After her stint with Bigg Boss and her recent Bollywood debut in Chill Maar na Bro, Yamini feels the timing is right to enter South cinema — Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'The stories being told in South Indian cinema today are bigger, bolder, and rooted in emotional truth. There's so much beauty in the writing, the vision, and the depth of characters. And now, I finally feel I'm ready—as an actor and as a person—to be part of that,' she says. Yamini's journey into showbiz began with her two debut films, one in Telugu and one in Punjabi, both releasing on the same day. 'It was exciting and surreal,' she recalls. Yamini added, 'But naturally, I leaned more toward Punjabi films at that time as I was comfortable with the language, I knew the people, and it gave me a safe space to grow.' Despite having deep respect for South Indian cinema, she admits that she took a step back then. 'I was in awe, but also slightly intimidated because of the language barrier. I wasn't ready at that time. Now, after so many life and work experiences, I can proudly say, I am.' Yamini further opened up about her journey into the Industry, 'People know me for being fun, expressive, and full of life. Whether it's on reality TV, film sets, or public events, I carry that energy with me, but there's also a very grounded, passionate side to me that thrives on serious, meaningful work.' Being a dental surgeon, transitioned into cinema, Yamini made her mark with the Telugu film Chuttalabbai, and has continued to grow. Now, she's looking to make a purposeful comeback to the South — this time not as a newcomer, but as an artist with intent. Yamini said, 'It's no longer just about screen time or a role. It's about the script, the emotion, the message. South cinema gives actors that space to explore — and I'm genuinely drawn to that now. '
