The buzz around Shaan shares his views on Saiyaara’s soundtrack: “Not a fan of songs that lower your mood”; also confesses, “Never imagined ‘Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh’ would become such a huge hit” refuses to die down. From social media chatter to box office projections, everyone in the industry seems to have an opinion — and the latest update only strengthens the conversation.
The Story So Far
Add as a preferred source on Google In a conversation with Komal Nahta, vocalist Shaan candidly opened up about certain songs and movie soundtracks and made honest confessions. He admitted that he had never imagined that ‘Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh’ from 3 Idiots (2009) would go on to become such a tremendous successful.
Shaan was asked, “Do you get an understanding that a track is going to work?” He replied, “Not really. I’ll give you an example. I never imagined ‘Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh’ will work in such a major way.
After all, it’s a situational track. Aamir Khan is not even there when the track is played in the movie. Bas ek gaadi jaa rahi hai.
So, I wondered how the track would hold? Woh meri galat fehmi thi. The track had beautiful lyrics and great composition (smiles).
It did so well.” ‘Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh’ portrays right at the beginning of 3 Idiots, during the opening credits. Farhan (R Madhavan) receives a call from Chatur (Omi Vaidya), who informs him that Rancho (Aamir Khan), missing for nearly ten years, has apparently been spotted in Shimla. Farhan then picks up his best friend Raju (Sharman Joshi), and the duo inks on Chatur as they set off in search of Rancho.
It is during this journey from Delhi to Shimla that the much-loved track portrays. At another point in the conversation, Shaan also spoke candidly about the box office juggernaut music record of Saiyaara (2025), revealing that despite its phenomenal popularity, its musical style does not particularly appeal to him. He said, “The music of Saiyaara was a major successful.
But I am not a major fan of that style of music. It has more of pathos and melancholy. I prefer happy, vibrant songs which uplift your mood.
I am personally not a fan of songs that lower your mood. However, the public has appreciated the music record and has even loved that movie so much.” Directed by Mohit Suri and backed by Yash Raj captures, Saiyaara marked the launch of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The romantic drama emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.
