On Top of the World - Arpita Chakraborty

I am on top of the world looking at the response of the title track OF BEZUBAAN ISHQ by audience: Arpita Chakraborty

A song is said to be hit when it touches the heart of people and is loved by all.A good romantic movie is incomplete without a soulful romantic title track and that is what makes the song peoples favourite.

The title track of the movie Bezubaan ishq gets tremendous response from its audience and has succeeded  to reach a large amount of masses. The melodious singer Arpita Chakraborty with Javed Ali's lovely voice and style  has touched the heart of every individual.

The song is a tribute to Love that is suppose to be felt and leave one with unspoken feeling.  This song along with love expresses the beauty of rains giving it a different effect.

“Music is a universal language of mankind. This song Bezubaan Ishq has been really close to my heart as it speaks the language of love with the help feelings and passes on a lovely message. 

It makes me feel just top of the world with the response the song has received and leaves me overwhelmed with a lot of excitement this happens to be my third song in Bollywood after Satyagraha and Ragini MMS2” mentioned Arpita .

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Special Birthday Gift for Ranveer!

Ranveer Singh has been giving his all; including an unusual decision to move out of his family home, to perform the historic part of Peshwa Bajirao in ‘Bajirao Mastani’. While the young star is dedicated to this part, his commitment to the film’s director, Sanjay LeelaBhansali, is also unquestionable & honest. As he has stated many a times, “You don’t work with Mr. Bhansali, you collaborate with him to create something special on set.” 

His filmmaker has reciprocated Ranveer’s sincerity and dedication by giving him a special birthday gift. When Ranveer requested Bhansali to give him a four-day break for his birthday, much in advance, the filmmaker has graciously granted him those days off. 

Ranveer, of course, is very thankful for the quick break from sets. Says a source close to the actor, “he will travel out of the city with his family to ring in his birthday. Before he takes time off though he is working round the clock to ensure that the elaborate shoot of this magnum opus doesn’t suffer”. 

The actor, who shares a relationship of admiration and respect with his acclaimed filmmaker, is working hard so that his holiday won’t impact the film’s schedule. During the course of making this film, Ranveer has dealt with a shoulder injury & has given total concentration for one year on this project alone. Clearly, his birthday break is well earned!
