Jagriti actress Rachana Mistry on World Music Day says, ‘Music is emotion, connection and healing'

World Music Day, celebrated on June 21st, honours the timeless, universal language of music—something that connects hearts across cultures without needing translation. On this special occasion, television actress Rachana Mistry, who currently portrays the titular role in Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah, shared a deeply personal reflection on how music has shaped her life and creativity.
'Some of the most beautiful moments in my life have been wrapped in music,' Rachana shared. 'Quiet evenings with soft classical tunes playing in the background, long walks where lyrics echoed my thoughts, and childhood memories of humming lullabies with my mother.'
For Rachana, music is more than just entertainment—it's her emotional anchor, both on-screen and off. 'I've always believed that music isn't just sound—it's emotion, connection, and healing,' she said.
Even during her intense acting scenes, she often turns to music to find focus. 'When I'm working through a complex scene, I sometimes listen to instrumental or classical pieces to centre myself.'
She is particularly drawn to the way music transcends language. 'What fascinates me most is how music transcends language—you don't need to understand the words to feel the emotion. That's true magic,' she explained.
On this World Music Day, Rachana hopes to celebrate music's quiet power. 'Whether you're dancing in your room, playing a flute under a tree, or simply listening in silence, music speaks. Always.'
As the voice behind Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah, a show rooted in hope and resilience, Rachana's sentiments echo the very spirit of music—one of healing, unity, and emotion that lingers long after the last note fades.

Music wasn't the first dream, but maybe it was the one quietly waiting for me all along. My dad saw something in me before I could even name it. A spark. A sound. A possibility. And my mom... her dream lived in silence, tucked away in the corners of her heart. Today, I get to carry it forward-not just for me, but for her too," she wrote in the caption. Bhanushali said her journey was never a "straight line". "From school stages and clumsy notes to finding a voice that finally felt like mine, this journey has never been a straight line. There have been moments that tested everything I had. Days where the silence felt heavier than the sound. But music kept showing up for me. And so, I kept showing up for it," she wrote. "These old photos aren't just memories; they're proof of every small beginning, every leap of faith, every time I chose to keep going. On World Music Day, I'm grateful for the little girl who didn't know where it would lead, but kept singing anyway! Here's to celebrating the story behind it all, a story still unfolding," she concluded. Bhanushali made her song debut with "Ishtehaar" from the 2018 film "Welcome to New York". Sung by Bhanushali alongside Rahat Fateh Ali Khan from the lyrics by Charanjeet Charan, the track was composed by Shamir Tandon.

Simran Choudhary's new song ‘Saiyyan Na Maane' is an empowering anthem for the unheard

Independent music composer and singer Simran Choudhary has struck a powerful emotional chord with her newly released track 'Saiyyan Na Maane', a fusion of folk nostalgia and modern pop storytelling. Described as a vibrant blend of sass, soul, and sheer narrative strength, the song aims to give a voice to every girl who has ever felt unheard or sidelined. Simran, who wears multiple hats as the writer, composer, and lead performer, once again proves she's the leading force in her own creative journey. Her latest single, dropped just ahead of World Music Day, carries an infectious beat and message that is resonating widely with audiences. Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Simran said, 'We've all had that one person who just won't listen, no matter how much you love them. This song is my way of saying, 'Fine, don't listen—just know I'll still have the last word. And I'll sing it.'' The track, which merges traditional folk rhythms with a contemporary sonic palette, is built around heartbreak—but not the kind that wallows. Instead, 'Saiyyan Na Maane' is a bold musical shrug that turns emotional silence into an empowering anthem. 'It's for every girl who's ever felt invisible. Don't be disheartened. Own your story. The mic is still in your hand,' Simran added. Known for her earlier viral hits like 'Aje Na Jaa' and 'Reh Le Mere Kol', Simran is steadily building her own space in the independent music scene—one that blends cultural roots with global appeal. She's becoming a genre unto herself: personal, poetic, yet widely relatable. The song's official preview was hosted at the Meta office, marking a significant milestone in Simran's musical journey and highlighting the industry's recognition of her unique artistic voice. Whether you're healing from heartbreak, reclaiming your strength, or simply moving on with grace, 'Saiyyan Na Maane' is more than a song—it's a personal power play. As Simran puts it best: 'Sometimes, you just have to hit play, fix your eyeliner, and move on with the beat.'
