MUMBAI: Girliyapa is back with a brand-new music video ‘Tu Bas Naach’, an end-of-year dance anthem with voice and character, that refuses to conform to the stereotypes and “rules” that are imposed on girls and women in our society.

The song is composed and performed by VS42 aka Vaibhav Bundhoo, who composed the music for TVF’s iconic shows like Pitchers, Permanent Roommates, Yeh Meri Family and many others. It also features for the first time in India, 2 female rappers, Siri, from Bangalore and DeeMC, from Mumbai who’s featured in Zoya Akhtar’s upcoming GullyBoy, and singer sisters Kavya-Kriti, from Bikaner.  

The video stars Nidhi Bisht, Amyra Dastur, Shristi Srivastav, Ahsaas Channa among others grooving to the beats which are a fusion of hip hop.

Commenting on the music video, Ahsaas Channa, said, “Tu Bas Nach is an expression of strength for women across the world. I'm glad to be part of this video that gives women hope for a better tomorrow”

Sharing her take on the ideology of the song, Maanvi Gagroo, actress and star of Tripling 2, said, “The meaning of freedom and power is different for each individual. Personally, I feel empowered when I face my fears, no matter how small and challenge myself to overcome it. I was excited when asked to be a part of this music video because of what it stands for and because of Vaibhav Bundhoo, who’s a genius. I’m sure everyone, not just women will relate to it and celebrate their respective empowered choices.”

On being a part of the music video, Nidhi Singh, said, “It is an exciting experience to be part of a music video that features so many strong, young influential women. I had a great time.”
