Writer Anuraadha Tewari speaks about the new song Awargi in Raisinghani v/s Raisinghani

Popular show Raisinghani v/s Raisinghani, starring Jennifer Winget, Karan Wahi, Reem Shaikh, and Sanjay Nath is one of the most popular ones today. The show portrays the lives of young law professionals with different ideologies and approaches. Recently a new song was added to the show. Titled ‘Awaargi’, the lyrics for the song has been written by Vimal Kashyap along with Anuraadha Tewari who has also penned down the Story and Screenplay of the Show.
Sharing more details about the song she says,”This is a big turning point for Karan Wahi's Character in the Story. He has been quite a Casanova till that point. But he sees the value of the Girl who waited for him all this while. The purity of her Love has made him realise that he has the courage to finally commit to the relationship. We wanted to say all this through a song and not a scene. Hence it is called 'Virat's Anthem. Dedicated to The Girls who Waits for You.” Honestly, it's born out of so many such relationships around me.
The music has been composed by Music Director Nikhil Kamath ( of Nikhil Vinay duo fame). We wanted to create a song with an old school melody but sound contemporary. It's the soul of the character. Singer Aditya Narayan sung it and we feel he was the perfect choice for it!Anuraadha adds, "I sat down with Lyricist Vimal Kashyap who had written an earlier version as a scratch. Because I am the writer of the show, it was naturally easy for me to word the thoughts better. I know my Character inside out. That is how the hook and the mukhda came about. My thought was to express the surprise of a man who has never experienced love before. And his confession that he has been an 'awaara' lover boy before this. The fact that he has been won over by the girl’s purity is making him humble and emotional. It’s a moment of inner transformation. That's what we wanted to capture in words.”
The show has two of the most good looking actors of the industry and their casting has been a great reason for the popularity of the show. Regarding the visual presentation of the song Anuraadha shares,”Both Jen and Karan are really competent actors and massive stars on Tv. Their fan base is huge and they beg us each day to keep extending their love story. This song is dedicated to those fans. It is a sort of recap of their 'situationship'. Karan and Jennifer have not only lived these moments on screen but also made them so real that people have started wanting to get them married in real life!!! But more than that Fans often say that they are healing through this Love Story. This is the most touching thing for all of us. And the entire credit goes to #JeRan!
Unfortunately Original songs are not there for tv shows and webseries anymore, which used to be a trendsetter earlier. On this she says, "Yes that's true. Also there are songs that sound very temporary and of no great audio value. But when you work with a Film Music Director there is a different feel to it all. It's a sound that stays. Because they are used to creating Music that is meant to last. Music has always been a great tool in highlighting a storypoint and aiding storytelling worldwide. And in India, we have a tradition of telling stories through music for centuries. Our Cinema is unique because of that. So it's strange that web shows haven’t adapted to that yet. Am sure they will though, sooner than later, as we emerge with our unique voice in the OTT space."

Rinku Dhawan on joining Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta's Udaariyaan

Rinku Dhawan, who was last seen in Bigg Boss 17, has come on-board Ravie Dubey and Sargun Mehta’s Udaariyaan, which is produced under their banner, Dreamiyata Entertainment Private Limited. The show is taking a 15-year leap, and the new episodes will air on May 30. It will feature Avinesh Rekhi, Aditi Bhagat, and Shreya Jain in lead roles, and Rinku will be seen as Avinesh’s stepmother.Speaking about the show and her character, she said, “It’s been a long-running and successful show, and being a part of it will add a star to my career for sure. I wanted to be a part of it, and I am so grateful that I got the opportunity. My role is that of a stepmother to the lead - Avinesh Rekhi. She’s a bit of a selfish woman who wants things only for herself and her kids, by manipulating, utilising and misusing another person through their emotions. My look is that of a Punjabi kudi.”
Before her stint in Bigg Boss, Rinku was seen on the TV show Titli, and is thankful to have work one after another in her hands. She is also grateful to producer couple Ravie and Sargun, and she said it is commendable what they have achieved at such a young age. “They are successful in their individual careers, and together they have also proved it. They have done wonders for themselves. That energy speaks to the work. I remember I had spoken to them earlier, also regarding work. So a few days ago, I sent them a thank-you message, and it was very lovely of them to revert with so much love and gratitude. It’s commendable, the love they spread,” she concluded.

Vishwatma actor Sonam Khan set to make a comeback, would prefer OTT project over films

Having been a part of cult films such as Tridev, Ajooba and Vishwatma, actor Sonam Khan was one of the most sought after female actors in the ‘90s, before she decided to quit the film industry 15 years ago. She left India and moved to Switzerland to focus on her family.Contemplating making a comeback soon, the actor expresses her wish to sign an OTT project.“I am not interested in doing movies,” she tells us, adding, “I really want to do something on OTT because with the web, there is no hero or heroine, and it’s just the characters without which the story cannot move. Also, I find OTT platforms more inclusive, and the stories are age appropriate, which is not always the case with Bollywood films.”Hailing the streaming platforms for not only the kind of opportunities and variety they offer, but also for how they envision stories and characters, Sonam says she can’t wait to face the camera again.“OTT gives you that chance to be yourself. In whatever content I have watched so far, I see women coming up the way they are. Manisha Koirala in Heeramandi is amazing and beautiful, and she commands the screen. That, I find so appealing. There are many other stars in the show, but she owns the domain, and only an OTT project with so much depth will offer you that scope. In all shows, there are several characters. and everyone gets their own space, which they own perfectly,” she notes.
In fact, the actor credits the growth of web space as one of the main reasons that lured her to look forward to a career in showbiz once again, and now, she craves to showcase her acting prowess. However, she wouldn’t want to call her entry a comeback.“I feel like I am starting all over again as a newcomer. So, I am still waiting to find a script and a story, which I feel is good enough for my re-entry as a newcomer and something that would appeal to my sensibilities. I am not questioning the people who have offered me some roles, but they didn’t resonate with my sensibilities,” she concludes.
