MUMBAI: Indie singer-songwriter, music composer, and actor Sanjeeta Bhattacharya has unveiled her latest track, Tu Aa Zara, a vibrant dance-pop number created in collaboration with Somanshu. Tu Aa Zara is a captivating blend of dancehall and afro-inspired rhythms, seamlessly combining Hindi and Bengali lyrics. This sensual duet explores themes of attachment and the complexities of modern “situationships.”
The interplay between Sanjeeta and Somanshu is dynamic, capturing an aura of playful flirtation and carefree energy. Featuring a catchy flute hook in its drop, the song delivers an irresistible charm that makes it a perfect addition to any dancefloor playlist. Speaking about the track, Sanjeeta shared: “Somanshu reached out to me about four years ago with the idea of collaborating on a song, but that project didn’t materialize at the time. Recently, we reconnected and decided to work together. That’s when Somanshu introduced the idea for Tu Aa Zara.

Since both of us are Bengalis—Somanshu being half-Bengali and me being fully Bengali—we thought it would be interesting to create the hook of the song in Bengali. We brainstormed in the studio and decided the theme of the song would revolve around ‘situationships,’ a concept that’s so relatable to our generation. That’s how Tu Aa Zara came to life.” This track marks a milestone in Sanjeeta’s musical journey as her first song featuring Bengali lyrics. The music video complements the song’s sensual vibe, showcasing the chemistry between Sanjeeta and Somanshu.
Sharing her experience of shooting the video, Sanjeeta said: “The overall experience has been amazing. I’ve made lifelong friends through this collaboration, and Somanshu is one of them. Thanks to Somanshu, I’ve been introduced to so many talented individuals in the industry. For the video, we aimed to recreate a lively party scene, which was incredibly fun. We also wanted to celebrate girlhood and the bond between girlfriends. In the video, you’ll see Ashlesha Thakur, who is not only a friend but also my co-actor from Jawan.”
