Dive into ‘Churaaiyaan’: Ananya Panday’s heartbreak portrayed through the latest emotional song from Call Me Bae
Ananya Panday’s debut series Call Me Bae continues to build anticipation with the release of “Churaaiyaan,” a heart-wrenching melody that promises to tug at your heartstrings and leave you yearning for more. Capturing the intense emotions of a lover on the brink of heartbreak, “Churaaiyaan” dives deep into the emotional core of Call Me Bae. Infused with emotional depth and vulnerability, this pop fusion track sets the stage for the series’ exploration of love, loss, and the journey to find oneself.
Composed by the talented Abhijeet Srivastava, with lyrics penned by Shayra Apoorva and additional lyrics by Mudit Chaturvedi, the track is brought to life by the powerful vocals of Suvarna Tiwari and Mudit Chaturvedi, arranged and produced by Dronark. “Churaaiyaan” perfectly encapsulates the heartbreak experienced by Ananya’s character – Bella, as she watches her marriage crumble before her eyes. Taking an emotional plunge, the track delves deep into the torment of seeing a once-bright love begin to fade, yet clinging to the desperate hope of rekindling that flame.
The accompanying music video portrays Bae’s emotional journey, following her through empty streets as she reflects on a love that once filled her life with joy but now leaves her feeling alone. Flashbacks to happier times with her husband starkly contrast her present pain, where each scene draws the viewers into her struggles and makes them feel every moment of her heartache.

Personally, the track struck a chord from the moment I heard it. The way the song captures both despair and hope of love is something I think everyone can relate to.”
Composer Abhijeet Srivastava adds, “Creating ‘Churaaiyaan’ was about channelling raw emotions into music. It is a blend of pain and passion, and I am thrilled to share it with the audience. Working with such a talented music team and Ananya’s emotions on screen made it possible to bring the depth to life. We wanted the listeners to experience the pain, every moment of longing, and the sliver of hope that keeps love alive, no matter the distance and I hope they will connect to the track as much as we’ve enjoyed making it.”
Adding magic to the track with her soulful vocals, singer Suvarna Tiwari shares, “Singing ‘Churaaiyaan’ was an emotional experience. The depth of the lyrics and the emotion in the composition drew me in completely, making you feel every bit and connecting you to the character and the storyline. It’s a track that will surely touch your heart.”
Singer and additional lyricist of the track Mudit Chaturvedi says, “There’s something incredibly raw and real about Churaaiyaan’ that delicately balances between heartbreak and hope. It’s a reminder that even in heartbreak, there’s beauty in the memories and a glimmer of hope for what’s to come. It’s a song that many will connect with on a deep, personal level. I hope everyone experiences the emotion with a hope for tomorrow.”
“Witnessing the transformation of my words into a breathtaking track is overwhelming. Churaaiyaan beautifully captures the emotions of pain yet giving a hope for love. Ananya provides that extra touch that has helped us transform this music into a masterpiece. I hope the audiences connect with the emotions that have been poured into this song and cherish it as much as we do”. adds lyricist Shayra Apoorva
