Shahid Mallya's song ‘Kudmayi’ gives butterflies to Alia Bhatt

The enchanting melody of 'Kudmayi,' the latest song from the movie Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, has not only captivated Alia Bhatt, who portrays the titular character 'Rani,' but also the soulful singer Shahid Mallya, responsible for its mesmerizing vocals. Alia Bhatt shared her infatuation with the song on her social media, expressing that it gives her a sensation of fluttering butterflies each time she listens to it.

The song's magic isn't exclusive to Alia Bhatt; Shahid Mallya too experienced a profound connection with it during the recording process. Shahid revealed that the journey of 'Kudmayi' started when he received a call from Pritam Da's office, and memories of his sister's wedding began to flood his mind as he discussed the song's lyrics and composition. Although Shahid initially sang the song two years prior, it underwent lyrical, compositional, and tonal refinements as the movie's release date approached. Strikingly, Shahid shared that each time he sang the song, it felt as though he had performed it just yesterday, demonstrating its timeless resonance.

The song's title, 'Kudmayi,' a Punjabi term that signifies the merging of relationships and bonds, encapsulates the emotions of Roka or Rishta Jud Jana. Shahid Mallya, while recording or witnessing the song's visual representation, found himself overwhelmed with emotions, evoking memories of his sisters' marriages and the bittersweet feeling of seeing a loved one enter a new chapter of life.
