The singer’s latest single also garnered appreciation from senior actor Amitabh Bachchan on social media. The song which has been composed and written by Avitesh, was shot in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, and released on April 14. “Yaadein encapsulates love and remembrance and serves as a reminder that distance is nothing when someone means everything to you. In these times of a pandemic, people have been separated from their loved ones, and this song gives them the hope to believe in their journey of love,” explains Avitesh.

The young singer was born into a musical family and says that he was “influenced by my father who was a visionary and was the first Indian composer to work with many prolific international artistes”. “My father believed in having a larger than life attitude. I miss travelling and shopping with him, as he loved shopping for us and eating out and trying new cuisines. He was a fantastic cook himself,” says Avitesh.
