Singer Raghav Says Original Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Was Perfect For The Time

But his fear dissipated when the track, which was part of his debut album “Storyteller”, turned out well.

Raghav on collabing with Tanishk Bagchi and Asees Kaur

Raghav and composer Tanishk Bagchi collaborated on the new version of “Teri Baaton Mein…” with singer Asees Kaur. “It was a little scary because in my mind the original was perfect for the time. The rhythm was hard, the vocals were beautiful and it just felt like a song that really defines me.”

“It was kind of like giving your baby away into someone else’s hands to see if it’s treated with respect. But the new version came out pretty great, it feels good,” the singer, whose full name is Raghav Mathur, told PTI in an interview.

The new version of “Teri Baaton Mein…” had “50 million views in three weeks” and the singer admits that it is a unique experience that comes from “being involved with the film industry”. Raghav added, “There is a lot of effort that goes into that (views). I don’t have access to those kinds of efforts and can’t afford Shahid Kapoor in my video otherwise I would.”
