Saiyaara Exclusive: Barbaad Singer Shilpa Rao On What Mohit Suri Told Her To Evoke Solitude
New Delhi: Singer Shilpa Rao taps into raw emotion as she reflects on recording Barbaad, the hauntingly beautiful track from Yash Raj Films' Saiyaara. The singer, during an exclusive chat with NDTV, reveals how the mood and atmosphere of the studio shaped the emotional depth of the song which plays over a pivotal moment for the film's main female character, Vaani Batra (played by Aneet Padda). "We recorded in pitch darkness, with just a spotlight on the lyrics. It was fairly new for me, and I still feel like I'm standing there, singing it again and again," says Shilpa. "That space just me, my thoughts, and the music-helped me sink into the song." But it wasn't just the setting it was the character's emotional complexity that truly challenged her. "When we started recording, Mohit [Suri] told me that Vaani Batra is a writer. She's extremely young, full of emotions, but also innocent. She's afraid, nervous to fall in love, and yet she's already in love," Shilpa recalls. "And I was like, yeah Mohit, give me more words and make it more difficult! Because when you're told, 'This is flowy love,' it's simple. But when you're given all this innocence, fear, passion it corners you. You ask yourself: how do I express all of that, without showing that I'm expressing it?" It took two focused studio sessions, but Shilpa says they found the right balance and the result is a song that captures Vaani's vulnerability with quiet intensity. Interestingly, Barbaad was recorded in the same YRF studio where Shilpa had earlier recorded the hit track Ghungroo from War. "I was dancing while recording Ghungroo, but this Barbaad needed something else. That song required loneliness, that solitude. It needed stillness." With Barbaad, Shilpa once again proves why she's one of the most evocative voices in Bollywood. She doesn't bring only melody with her voice, but a character's entire inner world, to life.

Shaan R Grover says playing a red flag in Saiyaara was emotionally unsettling: 'I'm nothing like him...'
In the youthful romantic drama 'Saiyaara,' the actor Shaan R Grover plays the emotionally distant character Mahesh Iyer. He recently talked about how playing such a morally dubious character affected him off-screen. The actor acknowledged in an open interview that Mahesh's actions, particularly when he was around women, made him feel totally uncomfortable and actually disturbed him while filming. Shaan says Mahesh's toxic traits clashed with his own values In conversation with Filmygyan, Grover explained that stepping into Mahesh's shoes wasn't just creatively challenging, it also stirred discomfort on a personal level. While he didn't feel the need to prove that he's different from Mahesh, he said it was hard playing someone so emotionally negligent and detached. According to Shaan, portraying a character who ghosts his fiancée and walks away without explanation made him uneasy, especially knowing that some viewers might associate him with such behavior. He told Filmygyan that he hoped people would hate the character, as Mahesh deserved to be criticized for how he treated his partner but added that the possibility of being personally linked to that toxicity unsettled him during the shoot. About Saiyaara: heartbreak, redemption, and music Released in July 2025, 'Saiyaara' follows Krish Kapoor played by Ahaan Panday , a gifted but emotionally wounded musician, and Vaani Batra played by Aneet Padda, a journalist healing from the heartbreak of being abandoned by Mahesh Iyer just before their wedding. The movie is directed by Mohit Suri and backed by Yash Raj Films; the romantic drama explores how two broken people find healing and love in the middle of grief, guilt, and creative reinvention. Shaan's character acts as the impetus for Vaani's journey from betrayal to empowerment. The film's music, composed by Amaal Mallik and Rochak Kohli, has become a hit, with tracks like 'Barbaad,' 'Tum Ho Toh,' and the title song 'Saiyaara' resonating deeply across platforms. Audience reactions: hate that feels like praise In spite of the emotional challenge of the role, Shaan said he found validation in viewers' reactions. He's received messages from fans who told him they 'hated' Mahesh but added that their anger came from how convincingly he played the character.
