Shreya Ghoshal Teams Up with Badshah for New Romantic Pop-Dance Single ‘Mahiya’

Two distinct musical worlds come together on ‘Mahiya’, the latest collaboration between Shreya Ghoshal and Badshah. A romantic pop-dance number, the track brings Shreya's melodic sensibility into Badshah's contemporary pop landscape, pairing expressive vocals with an upbeat production.
Composed and written by Badshah and produced by Hiten, ‘Mahiya’ finds its footing between the intimacy of a romantic melody and the infectious energy of a dance track. The music video brings the song's romantic narrative to life, featuring Shreya Ghoshal alongside Badshah and actor Avneet Kaur. With the three sharing screen space, the video complements the track's playful romantic mood while offering audiences a chance to see Shreya in a different on-screen setting.
Speaking about the collaboration, Shreya Ghoshal says, “‘Mahiya’ was an exciting opportunity for me to explore a sound and space that is a little different from what audiences usually associate me with. For the longest time, people have known me through my playback singing, where I get to bring a character's emotions to life through music. With non-film tracks, I get to express myself differently as an artist, experiment with sounds and explore collaborations that take me beyond my usual musical space. Badshah has a very distinct musical sensibility, and I really enjoyed bringing our individual styles together for this track. The blend of romance and pop-dance made it particularly exciting, and being part of the music video made the experience even more special. I believe it's important to keep discovering new sides of yourself as an artist, and ‘Mahiya’ was a lovely opportunity to do that.”
‘Mahiya’ marks another step in Shreya Ghoshal's growing journey in non film music, as she continues to explore creative spaces beyond her established identity as a playback singer. Having collaborated with artists from different musical backgrounds, including AP Dhillon, ARJN, KDS, FIFTY4 and Ronn and now Badshah, Shreya is bringing her distinctive melodic sensibility into contemporary sounds and new musical territories. These collaborations reflect an evolving artistic journey, one that allows her to experiment with genres and connect with audiences beyond the world of film music.
Bringing together Shreya's expressive vocals and Badshah's contemporary pop sensibilities, ‘Mahiya’ finds its own space between romance and dance. The song is available across Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc
