Familiar faces of Indian television have been lending a breath of fresh air to the independent music industry of late, with actors like Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill (Bhula dunga), Himanshi Khurana and Asim Riaz (Afsos karoge), and new additions Aly Goni and Jasmin Bhasin frontlining music videos of composers. But, in an era when a section of independent musicians are fighting for the opportunity to be the face of the art that they create, does the industry need to piggy-back on the fame of television’s stars? Composer Vishal Mishra, who recently brought forth the Goni and Bhasin-starrer Tujhe bhi sataya jayega believes the development is necessary. “It is better to leave the acting part to actors. The value that [actors] bring to a song depends on the track, and how well they connect with it. But, decisions to [appoint] them are made in accordance with the demands of the song. I will feature in mynext video, because I fit the bill.”
For Tujhe bhi sataya jayega, Mishra was in search of a female actor who could emote the tale of betrayal as powerfully as Bhasin did. “The song had to be told from a woman’s perspective. We wanted a couple that had great chemistry, and immediately thought of them. They look beautiful together and share a positive vibe. We wanted to portray them in roles that showcased their camaraderie,” he says of the video that was shot in Jaipur.
