Badshah and Shreya Ghoshal unleash their highly anticipated maiden collaboration ‘Mahiya’ featuring Avneet Kaur

Brace yourselves for the most anticipated musical collision of the season! 0075 Pentertainment has officially announced the release of Mahiya, a powerhouse romantic pop track featuring global hip-hop titan Badshah and multi-National Award-winning melody queen Shreya Ghoshal.

After building an iconic on-screen camaraderie as co-judges on Indian Idol, the duo is finally taking their undeniable chemistry from the reality TV panel straight into the recording studio. Dropping today across all streaming platforms, the single marks a historical first studio crossover between these two generation-defining Indian music powerhouses.  

Billed under the creative logline ‘He is chaos, she is magic. This was never supposed to happen’, Mahiya is a beautifully crafted upbeat romantic track designed to marry Badshah’s signature urban groove with Shreya Ghoshal’s ethereal vocal timelessness. The single is entirely composed and penned by Badshah himself, showcasing a refreshing romantic avatar for the rapper, with music production handled by hitmaker Hiten. Adding a rich cultural texture to the modern electronic pop soundscape, the song features a standout sarangi solo designed to pull at the heartstrings.  

Accompanying the track is a high-concept, multi-layered official music video starring internet sensation and actress Avneet Kaur alongside Badshah and Shreya Ghoshal. Directed by the popular choreographer duo Piyush – Shazia, the visual narrative is set against a massive, dreamlike production canvas featuring futuristic automotive aesthetics and glowing celestial backdrops.  

Badshah states, “Everyone knows Shreyaji as the queen of romance, and our camaraderie on the Indian Idol set has always been incredible. But taking that energy into the studio for this track was an entirely different experience. ‘Mahiya' is the kind of song that stays with you long after the first listen. It holds a beautiful balance of longing, love and celebration. It truly feels like a crossover of two different musical universes coming together to tell a universal love story."  

Shreya Ghoshal states, “We’ve shared so many amazing moments while judging together, but collaborating on an actual song was long overdue. Badshah has brought a completely refreshing perspective to 'Mahiya'. The track beautifully blends intense emotion with contemporary arrangements, and I think fans are going to love this side of him."  

Avneet Kaur states, “Avneet Kaur states, “Being a part of ‘Mahiya’ is truly a dream come true. I’ve grown up listening to Shreya ma’am’s songs and have followed Badshah bhai’s music for years, so being a part of a project that brings their talent together is incredibly special for me. To share the screen in a song featuring two artists whose music I’ve admired for so long is a feeling I’ll always cherish. Piyush and Shazia have brought the song to life beautifully through their choreography, adding to its charm and emotion. The entire experience has been memorable, and the energy on set made it even more special. I can’t wait for audiences to experience ‘Mahiya’ and connect with the love and emotions we’ve tried to bring to it. I hope the song finds a place in people’s hearts and becomes a part of their own love stories.”

Mahiya is primed to capture the pulse of the nation as the ultimate love anthem of the festive season.   

Two World. One Melody. A collaboration that brings together two distinct musical worlds.
