Table for Two — Trailer Episode 16: Arya Dhayal — singer • songwriter • pop-Carnatic fusionist

In this episode we talk to Arya Dhayal about the journey that turned her into one of Kerala’s most talked-about voices — from the viral recital of “Sakhavu” and the controversy that followed, to the lockdown videos and live performances that introduced her unique Carnatic×Pop sound (sometimes called Popnartic) to millions. Arya also shares how she landed the Malayalam version of “Deva Deva” from Brahmastra, her favourite music influences (she’s publicly admired A. R. Rahman), and the dream she still treasures — meeting Amitabh Bachchan.
