Chhaila' is a lively melody that is as enchanting in its music as it is in its playful mischief, effortlessly transcending genres. Created by Salim-Sulaiman, the song features a vocal duel between Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal, both vying for the same Chhaila. The mystery lies in who wins his heart. When asked about the process, they mentioned how much fun they had recording the track, saying, "We completely let ourselves go for this song."

00:00Okay, the name of the song is Chaila. This is the fourth song of Bhoomi 24.
00:11We do Bhoomi every year like an album. It started in 1999 when we recorded it with a lot of folk artists and released it in 1999.
00:25Then we got busy with films. In 2020, after 21 years, we revived this project.
00:34In 2020, we did 7 songs. Then in Bhoomi 21, we did 10 songs. In Bhoomi 22, we did 10 songs. In Bhoomi 23, we did 10 songs.
00:42Every year, we release it like an album. India's famous singers, some folk artists and some international artists take part in it.
00:55We release it like a festival. We release a song every week. But this song, Chaila, is a big celebration for us.
01:06Because India's two amazing singers are collaborating in Bhoomi for the first time.
01:19You know, this blend, Indian-Western fusion, we have been doing it for centuries.
01:26Right from, if you see the original Kaal, Tauba Tauba, Ishq Mein Kariya, merging rap, hip-hop with Qawwali.
01:35So, we have been doing this for a long time. So, this is nothing new for us.
01:39The beauty of Chaila is the fact that you have two great artists coming together, blending their passion and their voices into a song.
01:53Which leaves you thinking, who is Chaila? What is going to happen after this?
02:00Maybe there should be a version, there should be a part two to this also.
02:04So, that is the whole idea behind this. It's a beautiful blend of two amazing artists coming together with two of us and creating magic.
02:16There is no rhyme or reason for rivalry. So, it ends there.
02:26Secondly, this song Chaila was born out of pure love.
02:35And we didn't even think about where it came from.
02:38If something has to happen, it has a time, it has a timing.
02:45Shreya and I have met a lot during work, we have spent a lot of time together.
02:51And we must have thought about it in our minds.
02:54I have definitely thought that if we sing something together.
02:57We had sung it in films, but if it is a non-film, how will it be?
03:01But we couldn't go beyond that.
03:03Because we didn't get someone else to run it.
03:09Our Chaila.
03:14And we were doing our own work.
03:16But it is what it is.
03:20So, Salim, we met in a flight.
03:24We posted a photo.
03:26I don't want to tell the whole story myself.
03:28Basically, we met for a long time.
03:34And we talked a lot.
03:36Shreya talked to Salim.
03:39And Salim saw our picture on Instagram.
03:44And then this idea came that why not.
03:46He brings both of us together and do a song.
03:49And I think we were waiting for this.
03:53Because I had a toothache and I think Shreya too.
03:57And we came to the studio and had fun.
04:01And this song was done.
04:03And now we are very happy.
04:05I am very happy to be here because I love her.
04:07I love Salim Suleiman.
04:09I have been loving them forever.
04:11My very first song, Mast.
04:13Salim is a part of that.
04:15And we have been a part of many projects.
04:17So, this is just a love and bonding.
04:20This is a relationship that has no name.
04:23This is a friendship and we are all here together.
04:25Sunidhi said it right.
04:29She explained everything very well.
04:32I would say that some things have to happen at the right time.
04:37You have to wait for it.
04:39And the time has come.
04:41It was a long wait.
04:43We have such a long friendship.
04:45Our career is more than 20 years.
04:49Yours is 25 years.
04:51So, more than two decades.
04:53Yours too.
04:55Probably much longer than this.
04:57No, we will not say that.
05:01But in all these years,
05:03this is the first time I am feeling
05:05that I have been a part of a true collaboration.
05:09I must have collaborated on paper.
05:12I have done duets with artists.
05:15I have done indie projects.
05:17This is the first time I have experienced
05:19that I have worked with some great artists.
05:23They are my friends.
05:25I have always liked working with them.
05:27But for the first time,
05:29in a studio,
05:31spending time together,
05:33learning about each other.
05:35The songs I have done with Sunidhi
05:37have always been different.
05:39I have not done them together.
05:41There was a time when we were
05:43literally discussing ideas.
05:45Sunidhi would suggest something
05:47and I would suggest something.
05:49This way of working
05:51has happened to me for the first time
05:53after so many years.
05:55For this, I feel very grateful
05:57to this group of friends I have.
06:01And Bhoomi.
06:03This project has given wings
06:05to so many artists
06:07and their dreams.
06:09You have worked with Sunidhi.
06:11Was it a challenge for you?
06:15Yes.
06:17For me, definitely yes.
06:19No.
06:21No.
06:23It's true.
06:25For the first time,
06:27I have done something.
06:29I was very excited.
06:31The challenge and excitement
06:33was the reason we are celebrating
06:35this project together.
06:37It's something new.
06:39People may not have heard me
06:41like this before.
06:43Of course, the style
06:45has got a little
06:47extra oomph
06:49attitude.
06:51But for the first time,
06:53I have rapped.
06:59I was so thrilled.
07:01We had a great time.
07:03We really had a gala time.
07:05We were figuring out
07:07how to sing.
07:09We were two friends
07:11having a blast.
07:13Not just rap,
07:15Sunidhi made me dance.
07:19Yes.
07:21This is the first time.
07:23There were many firsts for me.
07:25Truly, one of the most
07:27exciting times of my life.
07:29Shreya has performed very well
07:31in this song.
07:33She has got
07:35a natural groove.
07:37It was just so nice to see her
07:39being like this.
07:41So free and comfortable
07:43and ready to accept any challenge.
07:45Ready to dive into
07:47anything that was thrown to her.
07:49Be it singing,
07:51the way she looked in the video,
07:53costumes, hair and makeup.
07:55She was all open.
07:57She was not shy.
07:59Artists have their own
08:01way of working.
08:03Sometimes they don't want to
08:05go beyond their image.
08:07I was really surprised and very happy.
08:09I also realized
08:11how similar we are in this.
08:13We always want to do new things.
08:15Maybe that's why we are alive today.
08:17We want to keep doing new things.
08:19As far as singing is concerned,
08:21every song that I sing
08:23is always challenging.
08:25A song is always new.
08:27You have to give it 100%.
08:29You can't sing it
08:31the way someone else has sung it.
08:33There is no rule.
08:35There is no method.
08:37You treat it the way it is.
08:39It's always new.
08:41But if there is a challenge
08:43along with the newness
08:45and fun along with the challenge
08:47that there is a small desire
08:49inside and the song is going on
08:51but it shouldn't end.
08:53Keep recording. Keep working on it.
08:55This journey was beautiful.
08:57We wanted to get over.
08:59In fact, when we shot for the video
09:01the video was
09:033-4 hours long
09:05which got over in 6-7 hours
09:07because we did a lot of different things in the video.
09:09But I was really missing the shoot
09:11the next day. I was missing her.
09:13I also told her that.
09:15Such feelings are very rare.
09:17It was beautiful.
09:19Music
09:25First of all, I want to correct you that they are not battling.
09:27They are just revealing
09:29their secrets.
09:31Both of them
09:33this Chaila
09:35in the story
09:37Shraddha Pandit has written this song
09:39very well.
09:41She had this
09:43thought. Chaila.
09:45Chaila means dude. Chaila means handsome.
09:47Chaila means lover.
09:49So, an imaginary person
09:51who is romancing with both of them
09:53is mentioned in the song.
09:55So, sometimes
09:57Sunidhi says
09:59that I am feeling
10:01something different
10:03since I have seen her.
10:05And Shreya says
10:07that I am also feeling
10:09the same way
10:11as she sees me.
10:13So, they are both revealing their feelings
10:15towards Chaila.
10:17One person.
10:19So, they are not battling.
10:21In fact, it's a very beautiful feeling
10:23of confessing.
10:25That when I met her
10:27she told me this.
10:29Then Shreya says
10:31that when I met her
10:33she also told me this.
10:35So, it's a relationship confession
10:37between both of them.
10:39It's a beautiful song.
10:41It's a very fun song.
10:43And when you will experience this song
10:45you will also experience
10:47the story of this song.
10:49You will understand
10:51how beautiful and unique this song is.
10:53You know, once you watch the video
10:55you will automatically understand
10:57what is happening.
10:59This is the first time in Bhoomi that
11:01we have done something like this.
11:03Actually.
11:05Actually,
11:07almost like a
11:09it's like a play.
11:11It's like a skit.
11:13It's like a story that's unveiling
11:15slowly slowly.
11:17And they are acting.
11:19They are dancing.
11:21They are trying to bring out
11:23each other's
11:25jealousy at one time.
11:27I would say.
11:29And then they are realizing
11:31that this guy is
11:33the same guy.
11:35Chaila is the same person.
11:37He is playing both.
11:39The whole story
11:41it all comes out through the video.
11:43Once you see the video you will understand
11:45what is happening.
11:47This is actually really the first time.
11:49Whenever we have shot Bhoomi,
11:51we have always tried to shoot it like a concert.
11:53Live experience.
11:55How it happens.
11:57This is
11:59a live experience with
12:01almost like a theatrical
12:03reveal of the song.
12:05And it's very interesting. I am sure you guys
12:07once you watch it, you will understand
12:09what's going on and you will love to see it.
12:15We have done
12:17a lot of songs with Shreya and Sunidhi.
12:19First of all, let me tell you
12:21it's not easy to work with them.
12:23In a good way I am saying it.
12:25Because they are such
12:27incredibly versatile artists.
12:29It's very difficult to be able to
12:31justify a song
12:33that covers all their
12:35amazing talents.
12:37But fortunately
12:39we were able to.
12:41Because in this song
12:43there is a simplicity also.
12:45There is storytelling. There is acting.
12:47There is singing.
12:49There is
12:51vocal throws, harmonies.
12:53Musically we tried
12:55to accomplish
12:57all those possibilities
12:59where their qualities came out.
13:01But not
13:03making it so difficult
13:05for a layman to groove to.
13:07Not making it so complicated
13:09for us to dance to.
13:11So it's
13:13really turned out great.
13:15And honestly
13:17no matter how much
13:19I talk about my songs,
13:21it's the collaboration.
13:23It's the coming together
13:25of these two beautiful artists.
13:27Which has become a celebration.
13:29A timeless celebration.
13:31Bala is a timeless celebration
13:33of two wonderful artists.
