Dreamy duo
Shantanu Maheshwari and Ashnoor Kaur spill the beans on their new romantic song
After a noteworthy performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi, actor-dancer Shantanu Maheshwari has come up with a new music video titled Tutt Gaya. He is seen with actress and social media sensation Ashnoor Kaur in it. The Free Press Journal caught up with the duo for an exclusive chat.
The romantic number Tutt Gaya captures the essence of young love and the pain of separation. It is the story of a couple contemplating being in a long-distance relationship and trying to come to terms with its pros and cons.
When asked if Shantanu and Ashnoor have ever been in a long-distance relationship in their real lives, the duo denies it. However, Shantanu quips, “Our friends have been in such relationships, and at times, it’s really fun to see their problems (laughs).”
Shantanu and Ashnoor claim that Tutt Gaya
is very different from the songs and music videos that are being produced today. “The story is different. The way the emotions have been visually presented is very relatable. There are some filmy moments too. It has this innocence, which will remind people of the songs that we used to watch until some years ago,” Shantanu shares. Ashnoor adds, “It throws light on pure love; the kind of love that gives you butterflies. It will make people crave a love story like that. It conveys that love itself is so powerful that no matter what the circumstances, if your bond is strong, then it can withstand any storm that comes its way.”
During the conversation, the duo also recalled a fun incident that happened on the sets during the song’s shooting. The song has been shot at scenic locations in Rishikesh. “We were filming a part of the song on Lakshman Jhula, and all of a sudden, we saw a group of monkeys marching towards us. And we just stood there. No one had a clue what to do. But then there was Shantanu, who started recording the whole thing. So I thought of reaching out to a baby monkey and saying an innocent hello. But as soon as I went near it, the mother monkey actually snapped at me, scaring us out of our wits,” Ashnoor shares. Shantanu and Ashnoor had a blast shooting for the song. While Ashnoor gushes about Shantanu’s ‘vibe’, he praises their onscreen chemistry. “We never had to stress about our chemistry. It just came naturally to us. And I am sure it will be evident on the screen for our viewers as well,” he concludes.
