Jubin Nautiyal and Shreya Ghoshal’s duet in Dhadak 2 celebrates a full-circle moment from his X Factor audition.
Mumbai, August 13, 2025: In a heartwarming twist of fate, Jubin Nautiyal, one of India’s most beloved playback singers, has teamed up with Shreya Ghoshal, the very judge who once recognized his potential during his X Factor audition years ago. Their duet, Bas Ek Dhadak, from the upcoming film Dhadak 2, is more than a musical collaboration—it’s a testament to destiny, perseverance, and mutual respect that resonates deeply within the Indian music industry.
From Audition Stage to Studio Spotlight
Years ago, a young Jubin Nautiyal stood nervously before the judges on the X Factor stage, his raw talent waiting to be discovered. Among them was Shreya Ghoshal, a celebrated vocalist whose praise left a lasting impact. “I still remember standing nervously in front of all the judges during my X Factor audition—Shreya Ghoshal told me I had a beautiful timbre in my voice and needed to work on it,” Jubin recalled in an interview with upplus.in. Her encouragement became a guiding light, fueling his determination to hone his craft and rise through the ranks of Bollywood’s music scene.
Today, Jubin is a household name, known for soulful hits like Tum Hi Aana and Raatan Lambiyan. To share the microphone with Ghoshal, whose own repertoire includes timeless tracks like Barso Re and Yeh Ishq Hai, marks a significant milestone. Their duet, Bas Ek Dhadak, blends Jubin’s emotive depth with Shreya’s ethereal grace, creating a melody that promises to tug at listeners’ heartstrings. The song, part of Dhadak 2’s anticipated soundtrack, is already generating buzz for its emotional resonance and lyrical beauty.
