MUMBAI: Akanksha Puri’s new music stint Ek Aasmaan Tha is making waves not just for its visual appeal but also for the undeniable chemistry between her and co-star Sanam Johar. What’s more surprising? This was their first-ever project together.
Shot with Sanam Johar, the video explores themes of connection, longing, and romantic tension. “I was a bit concerned initially because I had never met or worked with Sanam before,” she admits. “But he’s such a grounded artist. Our comfort level was instant. People might find it hard to believe we met for the first time during the shoot!”
Although Sanam is known for his dance skills, the video required more chemistry than choreography. “This wasn’t about steps—it was about syncing emotions. And somehow, it just flowed naturally.”
“I had worked with the same team earlier for Barsatein Acchi Lagti Hai and had a great time,” Akanksha says. “When they approached me again with this melancholic love track, I immediately connected to it. The rough version of the song gave me goosebumps. It felt personal, raw—and that’s rare.”
Music videos, for Akanksha, are a refreshing creative outlet. “They allow you to push your style and performance boundaries. The shoot is crisp, energetic, and gives you amazing engagement.”
She adds, “I always get excited when I’m offered a song. It’s a break from long-format acting and gives you space to explore a different side of yourself.”
