00:00Let me give you a little bit of information that this band was never separated.
00:11So the band was always together.
00:14They have been together for the last 20 years, performing, everything is happening.
00:17I was the only band member who opted out and was doing his acting work.
00:24But I have come back into the band again.
00:26So it's not like everyone got separated and then brought something back.
00:30The band has always been together.
00:33It has been a very very strong and very big brand as a band of boys.
00:38And they have done a great job.
00:40Now that I have come back, our energy has increased a little more.
00:44And now we are trying to make better music again.
00:49Because you asked about nostalgia.
00:52Nostalgia is that there were 5 boys who used to sing and dance very well.
00:58And they used to give a very energetic performance.
01:02We are going to bring that nostalgia back on the stage.
01:05And we will take it forward with some great music.
01:08With a newer sound.
01:10So that today's youngsters or what is called Gen Z,
01:15appeal to them and also appeal to our audience.
01:19So overall, we are just carrying the journey forward.
01:24In the way we always did earlier.
01:27And now we are planning to create more and more magic in the future.
01:36First of all, if a musician decides to make a hit song that the audience will like,
01:43that is classically putting the cart before the horse.
01:47That's not how it works.
01:48First of all, you have to be true to the sound of the band.
01:52Which is 5 people bringing their own.
01:55You talked about evolution earlier.
01:57Evolution is for everyone.
01:58When we started, we were teenagers.
02:00Today we are full grown men.
02:02So it has been our own individual evolutionary journey.
02:05As far as the question of whether this song will appeal or not,
02:08no one knows the hit formula.
02:10If that was the case, then our film would not have hit 0.02% of the 100% that we released.
02:15And all the songs would have hit.
02:18There is no formula.
02:19You bring your truth and the strength of your band and compose a song.
02:27You bring it with complete sincerity.
02:33And then hope that it works and it finds the audiences.
02:36The audience that has been with us for the past 20 years is still with us.
02:41The album was made because of the viral video.
02:44So they are still with us.
02:45If a new audience joins us, we will be only thankful for it.
02:47But we are not creating it to create a new fandom.
02:50We are creating music because we love this music that we are putting out there for you to listen.
02:59First of all, let me tell you that this is not a reunion.
03:03And this is not a single.
03:04Reunion happens when the band breaks up and comes together.
03:07As Sushant Chauhan said, they have just come back.
03:10Our reunion is with our fans because we are releasing new music.
03:14Secondly, this is a complete album.
03:16There are 5 songs in it.
03:17As I said earlier, there are 5 songs in Band of Boys Reignite.
03:203 videos have been made.
03:22And our work has started on our second album.
03:25In between our India tour, while finishing this album,
03:29the recording of our second album has also been done.
03:31The recording of the remaining two songs will be done.
03:33As soon as our India tour is over, the next album will also come in the market.
03:37Why did you leave Anupama?
03:42Look, for an artist, there is no need to leave any aspect of your art and go into something else.
03:55Because an artist is an artist.
03:57And an artist can do many things at the same time.
03:59So I left Anupama because I had already given it to him for 4 years.
04:05And as an artist, the character that I gave to that character for 4 years,
04:12I felt that maybe I should start getting exhausted slowly.
04:16Because 4 years is a very long time.
04:18So I thought that before I get completely exhausted and I have nothing to give to that character,
04:23I will move away from here and take my career in another direction.
04:32So now I am looking to do some work in OTT as an actor and films, back to films.
04:38Because I have done so many films before.
04:40So now I am doing all that as an actor.
04:42But music is my passion.
04:45It is a part of my soul.
04:47So music was never separated from my soul.
04:50I was never separated from music.
04:52So now that I have come back with my band, we will do this.
04:57Because we love doing this.
04:59We are doing it for the love of it.
05:01Not because we are all looking to make a career out of it.
05:04Because all of us are very well settled in our career.
05:09We have evolved a lot overall in the last 20 years.
05:13There has been a lot of maturity.
05:15There has been a lot of determination.
05:17So now we are doing this very well with a clear mind.
05:21And we are doing this to advance our passion for music.
05:30For Diwali, we wish you all a very happy Diwali.
05:38May Goddess Lakshmi bless you.
05:42May you and your family always be healthy.
05:44And on Diwali, we don't burst crackers.
05:50Because there is a lot of pollution.
05:52So neither me nor my kids burst crackers.
05:54But we do puja.
05:57We do puja at home.
05:59We will eat sweets, sit and listen to good music.
06:03We will celebrate Diwali like this.
06:05I will give you the mic.
06:07We will start from here.
06:09For us, Diwali is very important.
06:13Getting together with family.
06:15Having dinner.
06:17Talking.
06:19So for us, Diwali is family time.
06:21And I hope for all of you too.
06:23That you spend time with your family.
06:25Time is very precious.
06:27There is very less time.
06:29If you think about it.
06:31Let's say if you are 30 years old.
06:33You will probably live up to the age of 80.
06:35Which means you just have 50 summers.
06:3750 Diwalis left to celebrate.
06:39So if you actually break down your life.
06:41You will realize that time is very precious.
06:43This is an opportunity.
06:45That everybody comes together to spend time.
06:47So from a band of boys to all of you.
06:49Spread the love.
06:51Spend time with your loved ones.
06:53And just spread the happiness.
06:55I also feel the same.
06:57As Chintu said.
06:59This is a time when you should get a reminder.
07:01How precious family is.
07:03How important it is.
07:05We are very busy in our lives.
07:07We do a lot of things.
07:09We don't get time.
07:11When you all come together like a celebration.
07:13This is a very important function.
07:15In our Indian culture.
07:17Where every good thing starts.
07:19There is a prayer.
07:21And there is an energy.
07:23So we celebrate that energy.
07:25With our family.
07:27And I think that's how Diwali should be celebrated.
07:29Ideally.
07:31May you all have a blissful Diwali.
07:33Filled with love, peace and prosperity.
07:37Happy Diwali guys.
07:39Enjoy yourself.
07:41And stay blessed.
07:43I was going to say something else for Diwali.
07:45One very important thing.
07:47We forget to understand about Diwali.
07:49Diwali is the day of Amavasya.
07:53Which means maximum darkness.
07:57The reason why the lamps are lit.
08:01So that we can remove that darkness.
08:05In the same way.
08:07We should see Diwali.
08:09The darkness.
08:11The negativity in life.
08:13We should get rid of it.
08:15Whether we do it with the lamp of our mind.
08:17Or with the lamp of our heart.
08:21So get rid of the darkness.
08:23And celebrate Diwali.
08:47Singing.
08:49Singing.
09:19Happy Diwali.
