Saiyaara movie not only introduced the fresh pair of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda but also a soul-striking title track by renowned music composer Tanishk Bagchi, known for hit songs like Raataan Lambiyan, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, among others. But do you know that the song was created out of pain? Yes, you read it right.

The singer also revealed how this composition helped him to heal.

'I Was In Depression': Saiyaara Composer Tanishk Bagchi

Tanishk shared how he was under medication while making Saiyaara. In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, he said, “I was in depression while making Saiyaara. I was on medication every day, struggling to sleep. There was success, but still an emptiness I couldn’t explain. I had a home, a career, everything — but the sadness stayed."

The composer also revealed how the pain and emotions of the entire team made the song resonate more, and it has struck a chord with listeners across the country.

"Arslan (Nizami) was going through family issues, Faheem (Abdullah) had exams, and Mohit (Suri) Sir would open up to me too. We were all carrying something heavy, and we shared it with each other. Every artist involved in Saiyaara put their pain into it. I think that’s why it resonates so deeply," he stated.
