Mumbai, June 12 || Playback singer Papon is celebrating 10 years of the release of his song ‘Humnava’ from ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’. The singer took a stroll down the memory lane on the occasion, and shared an interesting story behind the song, the story of how his voice inspired the director to take a different visual route.
The song, crooned by Papon, composed by Mithoon, and penned by Sayeed Quadri, is one of Bollywood’s most beloved heartbreak ballads, and became an instant hit upon its release in 2015. Humnava struck a deep emotional chord with listeners through its poignant lyrics and Papon’s evocative vocals. Over the years, it has remained a timeless expression of love and longing.
Reflecting on the song’s decade-long journey, Papon said, “‘Humnava’ was more than just a song for me — it was an emotion I poured my soul into. The love and emotion the song carries seem to transcend time, and that keeps it alive in people’s hearts. Every time I perform it, I feel that same deep connection with the audience."
