The iconic duo Sriti Jha and Shabir Ahluwalia have reunited for Studio LSD’s latest project, Oh Humnava - Tum Dena Saath Mera, spearheaded by producers Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah. While fans were eagerly counting down to the show's premiere, the production house surprised them by dropping "Deewana Tera," a romantic music video starring the pair under their own label, The LSD Music.

The LSD Music is an initiative by Studio LSD, under which Prateek Sharma has presented the song Sung by Javed Ali and composed by Saif Ali, it is an OST produced by Chakir Hussain and Parth Shah.

The video revolves around Sriti and Shabir, from their first meeting to falling in love. The duo looks made for each other, and it's their mature chemistry that keeps you hooked.

Chakir, who is co-founder at The LSD Music, shared, "We’ve produced 5 Hindi and 4 regional music videos so far, each made with real passion. Every project we’ve created comes from a place of intent. We make all our videos with genuine passion; we don’t believe in putting out content just for the sake of it."

"We are happy with the response for the song Deewana Tera. We have actually received so many messages and comments; people are watching, sharing and the views are organically increasing by every passing day,” he added.

He is happy that the audience is loving Sriti and Shabir's chemistry. "Their chemistry looks so organic and real; I think that's why the audience resonates with it so much. There is love, longing, and shared joy. It feels amazing," Chakir said.

Javed Ali has brought beautiful songs like Tum Tak, Tu Hi Haqeeqat, and Guzarish, among others, to life with his voice, and he has elevated the emotional quotient of the song yet again. Parth said, "For the voice, it had to be Javed Ali. The melody just demanded his soul, no second thought."

Parth said “The USP of the song is all three combined. Sriti and Shabir, TV's iconic couple, with Javed Ali’s voice and a soft melody that stays with you. Rare combo, isn't it?"

What next? " There are some exciting things in the pipeline. We’re looking at more collaborations, bigger ideas, and diversified music that pushes boundaries while still staying rooted in emotion. The goal is simple, we want to create music that people don’t just listen to, but truly feel and which stay’s with them. And in many ways, we’re just getting started," Chakir ended.

Looking back at her journey as a child actor, she says, “I’ve had a lot of fun doing all the performances that I’ve done. I revisited Deiva Thirumagal and I’m proud and quite happy with how I acted in it, considering I was only five!”

On how she has always maintained emotional distance from her roles, she adds, “Even as a child, once I was through with a project, I would put effort into trying to forget about it, or at least not hold on to the emotions associated with it, and just move on.”

Crediting her father for shaping her perspective towards acting, Sara shares, “I cannot imagine reaching anywhere without my father’s presence. He’s held my hand throughout. He considers acting a sacred art. The kind of value he has for it has been passed down to me.”

Talking about her experience working with Ranveer Singh, she says, “Nobody will ever top Ranveer Singh as a co-actor. He really thinks it’s not his film; it’s everybody’s film… And he never let his seniority come off as superiority. It is just support.”

As Dhurandhar continues to make waves globally, Sara Arjun emerges as a talent to watch, bringing together years of experience with a fresh, grounded perspective.

Darshana Khandelwal Joins ‘Divya Prem’ as April; Says Role Allows Her to "Explore Both Extremes"

Much like the vibrant shift in nature during a change of seasons, Sun Neo’s Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani is set to introduce a character that embodies the essence of spring. Actress Darshana Khandelwal enters the fray as ‘April,’ bringing a magical, lively energy that promises to add fresh layers of intrigue and fantasy to the evolving storyline.

Talking about her character, Darshana said. "April is a very unique character because she isn’t purely positive or negative, she exists in a grey space. What makes her special is that her anger comes from a place of being misunderstood. She’s been reduced to a joke for years, and that emotional hurt drives her actions. But at the same time, she’s also a symbol of beauty, renewal, and life. That contrast is what makes her so layered and real."

She further added, "I’m genuinely very excited to play April because it gave me the opportunity to explore both extremes, controlled intensity in her revenge phase and softness in her true form. As an actor, it’s always exciting when a role allows you to shift emotionally and visually."

Sharing her excitement about her look she shared, "I think it’s one of the strongest elements of the character. The floral mascot look is very striking and slightly intense, it immediately reflects her inner conflict and power. On the other hand, her look in her own realm is soft, vibrant, and full of life, which beautifully represents her true essence. As a performer, both looks helped me get into the character instantly. Overall, April is not just a character, she’s a feeling and that’s what makes playing her so special for me"

Watch Divya Prem: Pyaar aur Rahasya ki Kahani every Monday to Sunday at 7:30 PM, only on Sun Neo.

Actor Vinod Tharani is all praise for his latest release, Dhurandhar The Revenge, calling it a rare cinematic experience that stands apart from conventional storytelling. Having played the role of Azam Cheema in the film, Vinod believes the project has struck a chord with audiences because of its bold vision and emotional depth.

“Dhurandhar has become a rage because it breaks away from conventional storytelling and delivers a gripping, unconventional narrative,” he says. “Director Aditya Dhar has made this film with immense conviction. It stands out for its bold treatment and immersive storytelling.”

He adds that what truly elevates the film is the meticulous effort across every department. “Powerful performances, apt casting, striking looks, detailed costumes, and a dynamic music score—everything enhances the narrative. The scale feels grand yet controlled, and it never overshadows the emotional core of the story.”

Despite having a relatively small role, Vinod expresses immense gratitude for being part of what he calls a “mega blockbuster.” “I played Azam Cheema, the man behind the 26/11 attacks, who works with Major Iqbal, played by Arjun Rampal, in the climax. Even though my role was brief, I feel blessed to be part of such a powerful film. I’m truly happy for the entire cast and crew.”
