MUMBAI: After his smashing hit earlier this year – the title track of the movie ‘Malang’ Ved Sharma, the exciting young singer songwriter and composer releases his new single, ‘Shikayat’ with VYRL Originals. The song features one of India’s most adored couples, Yuvika Chaudhary and Prince Narula. Penned by Haarsh Limbachiyaa and finely produced by Aditya Dev, this poignant song narrates a story of love, grief and tragedy.

Composed and sung by Ved Sharma, the song is a blend of melancholic lyrics and soothing instrumentals with words that project the feelings of a heartbroken soul. Shikayat is a complaint from a man who has lost his soulmate to the Almighty. Trapped in circumstances where he cherishes his fond memories with his loved one and is left blaming time and questioning God for not being able to spend his life with his lost lover.

The music video of ‘Shikayat’ features the most loved and gorgeous couple from the entertainment industry and is directed by Gautam G Sharma. Yuvika and Prince for the first time will be seen in a heartbreak music video, portraying a journey of a loving couple that meets an unexpected end.

Talking about his latest release Shikayat, Ved Sharma stated, Ved Sharma stated, “Shikayat is a song that articulates feelings of a broken heart who has lost his most valuable possession, his love. The importance of a person is only felt in their absence hence one should always express their feelings to their loved ones whenever possible. I experimented with quite a few sounds to capture the emotional depth required for this and I am glad that it turned the way it is. Thanks to my family for always supporting me and also Mohit Suri sir for guiding me as a brother. I am extremely thankful to VYRL Originals for giving me this opportunity and to work with Harsh Limbachiya, Prince and Yuvika who are amazingly talented artists. I hope that the audience enjoys listening to this as much we did in creating this.”

Excited about the release of Shikayat, Prince and Yuvika stated, “Shikayat is a great track sung by Ved Sharma that captures circumstances in life when one cannot blame himself or anyone else for his misfortunes but questions god for these circumstances. I think the song brought Yuvika and me even closer. It’s a heart-breaking yet a realistic track, and in this unpredictable time that we are living in, we should cheer and hug our loved ones even more because we can never know what tomorrow holds.” Further adding to this, Yuvika stated “Shikayat beautifully narrates the emotions of love, anguish of a person who is left bereft after the loss of their loved one. I feel it will touch the right chord of the audience.”

Commenting on the latest release, Vinit Thakkar, Chief Operating Officer, Universal Music India & South Asia, said, “Ved is an immensely talented singer-composer & we are very excited to present ‘Shikayat’, his third song with VYRL Originals & a suitable follow up to the super success of the title track of the film ‘Malang’. The combination of Haarsh Limbachiyaa's powerful lyrics, Ved’s soulful voice & a melody which is reminiscent of the Golden 90s era of Bollywood, is sure to tug at your heartstrings. Prince & Yuvika have done a fantastic job with the video & their fans will surely love to see them back together!”
