Love, Legacy, and Lyrics: Maahi’s ‘Jaan Se Zyada’ is a Generational Musical Milestone

In a candid confession, Shaan's music sensation son Maahi revealed what makes his new song "Jaan Se Zyada" special to him. The song was out this week and is not only an aural experience of young love but also a highly personal endeavor for Maahi, whose parents Shaan and Radhika he has finally worked with in a music video, for the first time.

 

Talking to IANS in an interview, Maahi stated, "This song is nearest to my heart because this is my first song that has so much emotion and vulnerability. What makes the song special is the fact that it is my first song with my parents. Due to this, I feel that I will continue watching this video all my life." He also appreciated Rashmi Virag's poetic lyrics, which give a natural, personal touch to the song.

 

Shot with a nostalgic gaze, the music video includes Maahi and actress Aadhya Anand mapping out the emotional journey of a couple from innocent beginnings to more mature relationships. The unexpected cameo of Shaan and Radhika not only provides a touch of realism to the video but also suggests their own romance, and thus the video becomes an eye treat for the audience of both generations.

Maahi also addressed the inevitable comparisons to his father, stating, "Dad himself does not put a lot of pressure on me. But there is a component of taking forward the legacy, and I believe there is a little pressure because of this. But I believe a little pressure is necessary because it makes you work a little harder." He also explained that although he necessarily imposed his own signature on "Jaan Se Zyada," he knew that his father's would have been just as pretty, but in Shaan's own way.
