Karan Malhotra & Aparshakti Redefine Love in Sundaa Raavan

Karan Malhotra, one of India’s most talented and versatile music composers, has teamed up with actor-singer Aparshakti Khurana for their first-ever collaboration, “Sundaa Raavan.” The track is a refreshing romantic ballad that captures the essence of love in its purest, most enduring form, the kind that grows deeper every single day.
In a time when love songs often focus on heartbreak or short-lived passion, “Sundaa Raavan” brings back the feeling of steady, everyday affection. The song was born from a personal moment when Karan Malhotra wrote it one night while sitting next to his girlfriend and immediately shared it with Aparshakti Khurana. What followed was an effortless collaboration that turned a private emotion into a public melody. Aparshakti’s warm, expressive voice perfectly complements Karan’s heartfelt composition, turning “Sundaa Raavan” into a modern ode to timeless love.
Within just a day of its release, the song began trending across major streaming platforms and crossed over two million organic views on YouTube, a clear reflection of the love it continues to receive from listeners. The video, featuring Aparshakti Khurana, Barkha Singh, and Karan Malhotra himself, enhances the emotional connection with a simple yet endearing visual story of companionship and joy.
Musically, “Sundaa Raavan” blends contemporary sound design with a nostalgic, folksy warmth that reminds listeners of old-school Bollywood romance. It’s the kind of track that feels both fresh and familiar, balancing modern production with the melodic richness that has long defined Indian music. The lyrics, written by Karan Malhotra and Amar Jalal, evoke genuine tenderness, the quiet beauty of love that doesn’t demand attention but simply exists, steady and strong. The track is released under the iconic Tips Music banner.
Speaking about the song, Karan Malhotra shared, “Creating Sundaa Raavan was about capturing the carefree feeling of not just falling in love, but being in love every day. In a world of fleeting romances, this song is about the calm and ease of being with that one special person. Working with Apar was a pleasure; I’ve always been a fan of his voice, and I knew this song had to be with him. I’m really proud of how it turned out.”
Aparshakti Khurana echoed that sentiment, saying, “Working with Karan was a breezy and wholesome experience. The song just clicked for us, and the love with which it was created truly reflects in it.”
Karan Malhotra, already a respected name in the advertising and film industry, has composed some of the most recognizable tunes of recent years. His work includes the viral CRED Venkaboys anthem and the hit MakeMyTrip ads featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. He also served as music director for Madhur Bhandarkar’s film Babli Bouncer, composing “Babli Shor Machaye” with Mika Singh.
“Sundaa Raavan” marks a new milestone for Karan Malhotra, his debut independent release and a new chapter in his creative journey. With its heartfelt melody, emotive vocals, and universal theme of love that endures, the song is a reminder of how music can still speak to the simplest, most human emotions.
This collaboration between Karan Malhotra and Aparshakti Khurana isn’t just another release; it’s a testament to honest songwriting and the enduring charm of true love, set beautifully to music.
