Rupali Ganguly Breaks Away from Anupamaa’s Signature Look in ‘Fashion Ke Rang, Rishton Ke Sang’
Swati Bhat
Television audiences are eagerly counting down to one of Star Plus’ most anticipated events of the year, ‘Fashion Ke Rang, Rishton Ke Sang’. The channel’s upcoming fashion extravaganza, airing on June 1 at 7 PM, has already created significant buzz among fans and industry insiders alike. Often being described as television’s own version of the Met Gala, the special event promises an evening filled with glamour, entertainment, cultural celebration, and unforgettable moments.
What makes the event even more exciting is the fact that viewers will get to see their favorite television stars stepping away from their on-screen personas and embracing completely new avatars.
Star Plus Celebrities Celebrate India’s Cultural Diversity
Unlike their everyday television appearances, several actors will take to the ramp in state-inspired outfits that highlight the richness and diversity of Indian culture.
Popular characters Prem and Raahi will represent Gujarat through traditional Gujarati-inspired ensembles. Meanwhile, Sayali and Sachin will showcase the vibrant spirit of Maharashtra. Armaan and Abhira are set to bring the colorful essence of Rajasthan to life, while Sriti and Shabir will pay tribute to Madhya Pradesh. Angad and Vrinda will also be seen embracing Gujarati fashion influences during the event. The unique concept has generated tremendous excitement among fans who are eager to watch their favorite stars in fresh and stylish looks.
Rupali Ganguly’s Glamorous Transformation Becomes the Talk of the Event
Among all the celebrities participating in the fashion special, it is Rupali Ganguly’s stunning transformation that has grabbed the most attention.
Best known for portraying the beloved character Anupamaa, Rupali is usually seen wearing simple cotton sarees on-screen. However, for this special event, the actress embraced a glamorous fashion-forward look, leaving fans pleasantly surprised. Speaking during the event shoot, Rupali shared a light-hearted reaction to her makeover. “I had posted a Met Gala-inspired post a few days ago. I was having so much fun seeing fans transform their costumes into Met Gala looks. That’s where Star Plus also got the idea. Honestly, I am enjoying this because we rarely get opportunities to wear outfits like these. Anupamaa is always seen roaming around in cotton sarees, so this gives me a chance to do something different. Make sure you watch our Star Plus special on June 1.” Her candid and humorous comment instantly resonated with fans, who have loved seeing a completely different side of the actress.
Behind-the-Scenes Videos Go Viral on Social Media
Adding to the excitement, behind-the-scenes videos from the event have been circulating rapidly across social media platforms. Fans are actively discussing the fresh looks, glamorous styling, and unique fashion statements showcased by the television stars. The viral clips have only increased anticipation for the grand telecast, with many viewers calling it one of the most awaited television specials of the season.

Full Credits, Lyrics Excerpt & Behind-the-Song Research of the title track of "Dhurandhar"
Swati Bhat
The viral video of a DJ playing the Dhurandhar title track across a snowy field in the Swiss Alps did more than spark a dance trend; it propelled a meticulously crafted cross-genre anthem onto the global scene. What seems like a single energetic Bollywood hit is actually the outcome of layered production decisions: a reimagined Punjabi classic, contemporary rap segments, various vocalists, and detailed rights management. Below, we identify the contributors to the music, provide a brief verified lyric excerpt, and highlight the research that explains how the title song was created.
Who is the singer and songwriter of Dhurandhar title track?
Lead / featured vocalists: Hanumankind (rap/voice), Jasmine Sandlas (hook/lead), Sudhir Yaduvanshi, Shashwat Sachdev (who also sings), with sampled vocals from Muhammad Sadiq and Ranjit Kaur on the recreated Punjabi lines.
Composers / music directors: Shashwat Sachdev and Charanjit Ahuja (the title track combines Sachdev’s modern production with Ahuja’s original Punjabi composition).
Lyricists: New rap and English verses are attributed to Hanumankind (and collaborators), while the Punjabi lines are credited to original lyricist Babu Singh Maan, as the track reimagines the 1995 Punjabi song “Na Dil De Pardesi Nu.”
Label / music rights: Saregama owns the music rights for the film’s soundtrack.
Behind the Scenes: Crafting the Title Song of Dhurandhar
Recreation + respect for the original: Producers intentionally incorporated the 1995 Punjabi classic “Na Dil De Pardesi Nu” as the melodic foundation. Rather than a mere sample-drop, the production credits reflect a collaborative recreation: Charanjit Ahuja’s original composition is interwoven with Shashwat Sachdev’s modern arrangements, creating a piece that serves as both a tribute and a contemporary anthem. This process involved licensing and crediting the original writers and performers.
Cross-genre layering: The team combined Punjabi folk vocals and refrains with English/Hinglish rap verses by Hanumankind, alongside complementary vocal textures from Jasmine Sandlas and others. The outcome is an anthemic, high-energy track crafted to resonate in stadiums, clubs, and even alpine DJ sets. Rolling Stone India and other profiles highlight this intentional “folk + rap + electronic” structure.
Production & mixing choices: Interviews and credits reveal that Shashwat Sachdev led the production and co-composed, while the film’s sound team re-recorded elements (including new vocal takes and integrated archival lines) and utilized contemporary beat programming to elevate the song from a regional hit to a pan-India/global pop phenomenon. Re-recording mixers and producers received credit in the soundtrack listings.
Rights, credits, and cultural sensitivity: Since the title track repurposes an earlier Punjabi song, the creative team formally credited and compensated the original creators (composer Charanjit Ahuja; lyricist Babu Singh Maan; singers Muhammad Sadiq & Ranjit Kaur) and included them in the official soundtrack credits, a crucial step in avoiding disputes and ensuring authenticity.
Strategic release & virality: The soundtrack rollout, with singles released ahead of the full album and tie-ins with social media trends, was designed to generate viral moments such as the Swiss Alps DJ clip, which organically resonated with the campaign. Music outlets report the album’s swift rise on streaming platforms, indicating the strategy’s success.
The scene set in the Alps exemplifies cultural cross-pollination: a modified Punjabi refrain, a part of regional heritage, is presented with modern production, allowing it to transcend language and geography. DJs and influencers serve as catalysts; a party at a Ski Resort, Switzerland transforms into a global clip, drawing more attention to the film's soundtrack and its credited artists.
Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster "Dhurandhar" has now crossed the ₹1,000 crore global box office mark, with a net domestic haul of around ₹669 crore, making it one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year.
