Ayushmann Khurrana is one of those rare artistes who is a mainstream actor and at the same time a prolific singer. Apart from some impressive songs in his own films like ‘Paani Da Rang’, ‘Saadi Gali’ and ‘Haareya’, he has also come up with singles where he has displayed the richness of his vocal cords with ‘Mitti Di Khushboo’ being the most known. Ayushmann came up with another single earlier this month in the form of ‘Raatan Kaaliyan’, which has also become successful and is applauded by fans.

Sharing his reaction on the same, Ayushmann said in a statement, “I’m glad that ‘Raatan Kaaliyan’ is being called a hit song now and that it is getting so much love from Indians and South Asians across so many countries. The feedback and the love that I’m getting from people across the world is simply overwhelming. This reminds me that I should give more time to my music and give the audience more music and hopefully they enjoy it in the years to come!”

Speaking about the inspiration behind his music, he added, “My music is a reflection of my soul and my state of mind. I believe I bare my deepest thoughts through my music and I’m fortunate that people have loved my music since ‘Paani Da Rang’ and the emotions that I have tried to convey through my songs.”

Ayushmann believes that, at the end of the day, it is the audience that decides the fate of any song. “It is the audience who make music into chartbusters,” he said. “It has to appeal to their heart and speak to their mind. No amount of publicity or marketing can make a song into a hit. There is no formula for it because delivering a hit completely depends on how your song connects with the audience. I would like to believe I have been quite lucky to have many such songs. It feels amazing to have hits to my credit - be it my films or my music. I like to entertain people with my craft, as an actor and as a singer. So, I feel genuinely happy when they appeal to the widest possible audience.”

‘Raatan Kaaliyan’ is composed by Rochak Kohli and written by Gurpreet Saini and Gautam G Sharma.

As far as films are concerned, Ayushmann will next be seen in the keenly awaited Dream Girl 2. Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and also starring Ananya Panday, the film will be releasing in theatres on August 25.
