 गायिका सुनिधी चौहान यांची गाण्यातून वडिलांना साद

वडील आणि मुलीच्या नात्यातील गोडवा शब्दांतून व्यक्त करणं तसं अवघडच. जन्मापासून आयुष्याच्या प्रत्येक वळणावर वडिलांची साथ, पाठिंबा महत्त्वाचा असतो याची जाणीव मुलींना नक्कीच असते. या सुंदर नात्यावर आधारलेलं एक गीत लवकरच आपल्या भेटीला येत आहे. आगामी ‘अवकारीका’ या मराठी चित्रपटातील हे गीत सुप्रसिद्ध गायिका सुनिधी चौहान हिने  गायलंय.

का रे बाबा … का रे पप्पा

कुठे हरवल्या तुझ्या छान-छान गप्पा....

तू सांग ना तू सांग ना

तू सांग ना.. हा माझ्या बाबा

असे बोल असलेलं हे गीत अरविंद भोसले यांनी लिहिलं असून श्रेयस देशपांडे यांचे संगीत गीताला लाभले आहेत. बाप लेकीचे भावनिक नाते उलगडणारं ‘अवकारीका’ चित्रपटामधील ह्रदयस्पर्शी गाणं 'आपल्या आयुष्यात असलेले वडिलांचे स्थान आणि त्यांनी आपल्यासाठी घेतलेले कष्ट या सर्वांची जाणीव करुन देते. येणाऱ्या 'फादर्स डे' च्या निमित्ताने हे गीत वडील मुलीच्या नात्यासाठी सुंदर भेट ठरेल. हे गीत गाताना खूप मजा आली. प्रेक्षकांच्या अंतर्मनाचा ठाव हे गाणं घेईल, असा विश्वास गायिका सुनिधी चौहान यांनी व्यक्त केला.

Anshula Leaves a Lasting Mark in The Traitors Trailer

  Anshula Leaves a Lasting Mark in The Traitors Trailer

There’s a quiet tension that runs through the trailer of The Traitors—a sense that no one can be trusted, that something is always just about to unravel. And then, Anshula says it.

“Aapka koi saga nahi hai, aapko sab thagne aaye hai.”

It’s not loud. It’s not theatrical. But it lands like a gut punch. In a room full of uneasy alliances, her words feel like the only honest thing anyone’s said—and that’s what makes it so unsettling.

The show promises deception, strategy, and shifting loyalties, but it’s this one moment that viewers can’t stop talking about. Anshula doesn’t just deliver a line—she delivers a reality check, both to the players and to us.

She’s not in every frame, but somehow, the weight of her presence lingers long after the trailer ends.
Can’t wait to watch Anshula in this one.
