Amaal Mallik Instagram – It was this boy who knew he had somehting special within himself & that helped him make music that lives freely in the hearts of so many, without any expiry date. #SoorajDoobaHai single handedly made #EDM a thing in the Indian Film Industry & became a relatable genre for the Indian mainstream audiences namely #Bollywood #HindiMusic lovers🤘🏻♥️ It was anything but easy & almost impossible to get even a single person to believe in the song & let us put out our vision as we saw fit 😶‍🌫️ Thank you #BhushanKumar @tseriesfilms for letting us do that & even more; also a big hug to my director #VikramjeetSingh who picked the song when it was just a demo sung by me & the amazingly talented @shwetapandit7 whom I’m deeply indebted to for singing the scratch version of this song 🫡 Memories are flooding in as I’m writing this so here is another one that I remember : I was crossing my fingers & holding my maasi and mother’s hands all at once, praying & crying inside, hoping that out of all the stupendous soundtracks of that year, I must get the award home at any cost because it meant so damn much to my father 🥺 At this point my stomach was churning & I asked my self to just calm down & breathe, but I had so many questions going on in my head, like if I never get to see this kinda super success with a song again ? That night I won the black lady & till date it feels unreal. Finally I had my place under the sun & it made me enter into the history books as the 2nd youngest #Filmfare Music Award recipient after the legendary Rajesh Roshan Ji 🙏🏻 Fun Fact : The Original YouTube edit of #SDH is at 39 Million, and just yesterday the audio started trending on #Reels & the full version of the song crossed 100 Million views after 7 years (read that again) Charts really don’t matter if you win the hearts of people with no gimmicks, just your work 🙃♥️ The value and power a song holds is seen when you all sing it back to me, and that itself feels like a billion souls vibing together in what I’d call a group therapy. I guess @kumaarofficial paaji & I taught the world how to be a little #Matlabi & how life is much more than what meets the eye 🎉🥳 Pt.4
