              The success of Sajna Ve, the second song of                          album Sajna- Raat Bhar

Mumbai, 17th Feb 2025: As the world indulges in roses and whispered promises, Raat Bhar, featuring the soulful voice of Vilen from renowned DJ and producer Ravator’s latest album Sajna, offers a melancholic refuge for those nursing a wounded heart. This track gives voice to the sleepless nights spent yearning for a love that remains just out of reach. At the heart of this sonic journey, Raat Bhar stands as a raw and vulnerable confession of longing. Vilen’s evocative vocals, paired with the track’s immersive production, unravel the torment of unfulfilled love—where every passing hour feels like eternity, and the weight of memories lingers in the silence of the night.

“Raat Bhar” is the second release from Ravator’s album Sajna, which is a 12-track emotional odyssey, masterfully weaves through the highs and lows of love, heartbreak, and healing. Collaborating with some of the most compelling artists in the indie music space, Ravator crafts a soundscape that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever loved and lost.

”Sajna is a deep dive into the emotions we all experience but rarely put into words” says Ravator ”Raat Bhar is one of those songs that captures the raw, restless feeling of missing someone so much that it keeps you awake at night. Vilen’s voice carries that pain effortlessly, making this track one of the most emotionally charged moments of the album” he adds

 

Vilen further shares, ”Heartbreak is a strange thing—it’s loud in your mind but silent to the world. Raat Bhar is for those who’ve felt that ache, who’ve spent their nights staring at the ceiling, hoping for a message that never comes. The song isn’t just about pain, but about the beauty of feeling deeply, no matter how much it hurts”

Meet the Actors who dreamt of becoming Singers!

 Meet the Actors who dreamt of becoming Singers!

While they have won hearts with their stellar performances on screen, some television actors initially dreamt of a different stage—one filled with melodies instead of dialogues. Singing was their first love, but destiny had other plans, leading them to the world of acting.

However, their passion for music remains as strong as ever. Among them are &TV actors who share how music continues to be an integral part of their lives, keeping their love for singing alive despite their acting careers. These include Smita Sable (Dhaniya, Bheema), Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Saanand Verma (Anokhe Lal Saxena, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Smita Sable aka Dhaniya from Bheema shares, "Music has always been the heartbeat of my life. I grew up listening to legends like Kishore Kumar, R.D. Burman, and KK—artists whose melodies are not just songs but pure emotions. Their music has been my constant companion, bringing joy, comfort, and a deep connection to my roots. As a child, I dreamt of becoming a singer, but life had different plans. Still, that love formusic remains unwavering. Even today, I often find myself humming their timeless classics—it’s my way of keeping that dream alive."

Geetanjali Mishra aka Rajesh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan shares, "Singing has always been as close to my heart as acting. If life had taken a different turn, I might have pursued a music career. Though I never had formal training, I learned by listening—absorbing the nuances of greats like Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal. Their voices have a magical quality that touches the soul, and I love singing their songs whenever I get the chance. Music is my escape, my stressbuster, and my emotional outlet. Even on set, I am often humming melodies—it just brings me pure joy. For me, music isn’t just an art; it’s an emotion that keeps me grounded and inspired." Saanand Verma aka Anokhe Lal Saxena from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai shares, "Singing has always been an integral part of my life. When I first came to Mumbai, I pursued it with passion, building connections with legendary music directors like Raam Laxman and Nadeem-Shravan. Their compositions fueled my love for music and deepened my appreciation for the craft. Though acting became my primary profession, my passion for singing never faded. Even today, I dream of being recognized as a singer and exploring this art further. Music has an incredible power to connect souls, and I hope to embrace more opportunities where I can share this love with the world. The journey continues, and I am excited to see where it leads!"
