To make it more special, we wanted to launch it before Friendship Day. The song is about us and based on true events for all the Yaar gangs,” the members said.
Ekta said that they decided to create the friendship song because friendship is a universal theme that everyone can relate to. She added, “We wanted to celebrate the bonds that hold us together and the special moments we share with our friends. Through this song, we hope to remind people of the importance of those connections and the joy they bring.” V4 Once More was formed in 2016 by four friends who have known each other for the past 18 years. They aim to become the most energetic and entertaining band in India.
Speaking of their concept and vision, they said, “The concept was not just to sing but also to perform while singing. Each song sung is choreographed with hook steps. V4 Once More has a simple belief:'If you, as a performer, enjoy, then your audience definitely will too.’ “We want to create our own originals every year that make it to the top 10 charts in India. We would love to lend our voices to Bollywood too. In the field of entertainment, our vision is to become one of the topmost live bands in India,” they added.V4 Once More has performed primarily in pre-weddings, cultural, and corporate concerts, with a total of over 1500 performances across the globe. The uniqueness of the band is that there are four different vocalists who bring versatility that caters to all kinds of audiences.
Credits for the song goes to Saaveri Verma for the lyrics, Prashant Satose for the composition, Ramji Gulati for video direction, and Brijesh Solanki as the executive producer.“Since there are two real-life couples in the band, the chemistry is inbuilt, and when these two dynamic couples blend, it creates the very best in music. The energy levels set by these two dynamic couples generate an aura that takes entertainment to another level,” they said.

It’s a positive step: Celebrities on the new criminal law of the death penalty for child rape perpetrators

India’s new criminal law states that convicts of rape against minors will now face the death penalty. The new law came into effect on July 1. Celebrities are in full support of it and have called it a much-needed step.Here’s what they had to say:
Seema Kapoor:
Rape, murder, and acid attacks should be dealt with with the instant death penalty, as they all should be accounted for as gory crimes. Rape cases, even for adults, should be punished on par with those of minors. This law should be executed severely, either with the prompt death penalty or with castration leading to the perpetrator's death. Only strict measures like these can halt such crimes; otherwise, they will keep increasing year after year and far more brutally. These court cases also should be given to fast-track courts so that timely justice is provided to the victim or their family. Justice delayed is justice denied. Also, male rape should be considered in the same spot.
Gulfam Khan Hussain:
In my view, paedophilia is an intolerable and disgusting trait, and child rape is the lowest grade of crime. Atrocities against helpless children should be met with the utmost severity anyway, and a sexual crime against a helpless child? That should have zero tolerance. I just hope innocents are not targeted through this. As we see with the law time and again, people are taking undue advantage of the law and using it as a tool for personal vendetta. As long as we do a thorough investigation and the correct criminal meets their just end, I am all for stricter laws. Whether or not it will stop the crime is difficult to say, but it will definitely put fear in perpetrators minds, and there will be a decrease in the number of cases.
Karan Gulianii:
I think it's a much-needed decision made by the government and the court of law. In our country, especially, only about 5–10% of child abuse cases are reported, while 90% go unreported. When a child is abused, it affects them for their entire life, not just in that moment. Their confidence is shattered, and they are scarred for life. I believe that there should be the harshest punishment for such crimes. Our courts and government should propose even stricter penalties for child abusers. While I understand that not everyone might agree with this approach, I feel strongly that we need to start somewhere. This decision is a positive step, and I fully support it.
Radhika Vidyasagar:
I am so glad that finally this has happened. Anything against women and children, any crime, should be punished. And the trial should be held because justice should always prevail. There should be no loopholes left in our judiciary system. But still, I'm so glad that this thing has been announced. And yes, the death penalty. Rape has to have a death penalty. There is no excuse for rape. There is no excuse for crimes against women or children. So I'm really glad, and I'm so happy that this decision has been made finally, after so much injustice happening towards women and children all over the world and India, in rape cases. So I'm really glad that sentence—the death sentence—should be the punishment. Otherwise, such crimes will not, you know, be stopped.
Pravina Deshpande:
Imposing the death penalty on child rape perpetrators is a welcome and strong stance against such horrendous crimes in the recent amendment to India's criminal law. This was long-awaited. I also welcome the digital revolution in these laws, which will make investigations easy. A welcome change will indeed be a major deterrent to the heinous crime, giving the victim’s family some relief and decent closure.
Rinku Ghosh:
It’s a step forward. This was required. I would have been happier if there had been the death penalty in every rape case, irrespective of gender or age, rich or poor.
Nitin Bhajan:
The biggest immediate change that comes from such harsh punishments is the strong message that resonates in people's minds: we will not tolerate heinous crimes like this, and those found guilty will face similar consequences. This decision has set a precedent and gives hope to victims' families that they will get justice and satisfaction. Our laws should be strong enough to deter people from committing such crimes in the first place. I believe the death penalty is the ultimate solution to prevent heinous crimes like gang rape. It sends a strong message to society, giving confidence to the victims' families and the public that justice will be served. However, the implementation and enforcement of this punishment are crucial. We need fast-track courts, tamper-free evidence, and an efficient legal system to ensure that the law is upheld. Only then can we see a significant reduction in crime rates.
