Satinder Sartaaj, the renowned Punjabi and Sufi singer, has taken fans on a nostalgic ride through Chandigarh aboard a customised Yezdi Roadster. The video, shared on social media, is set to his own song Yezdi and traces the roads, neighbourhoods, and moments that shaped his life before he became a global music icon.
Heartfelt Note Accompanies the Video
Alongside the video, Sartaaj posted a heartfelt note: "The makers flew from far away to my home & grew nostalgic at the sound of my restored Yezdi motorcycle. It was an absolute pleasure to witness people's honest admiration for their history, heritage & craftsmanship that time has carefully preserved. A hearty thanks to @yezdiforever @reach_anupam for this new customised companion; here's to the roads, reflections & memorable journeys."
A Love Story That Predates His Film Career
Sartaaj's affection for Yezdi is long-standing. In 2023, he released the track Yezdi, filmed on his lovingly restored pastel-green D250 Classic. The song blended romance, humour, and nostalgia with Punjab's motorcycling culture. In one memorable verse, he imagines arriving at his wedding on his beloved Yezdi.
Customised Roadster Bears Personal Touches
His latest acquisition, a Sharkskin Blue Yezdi Roadster, features exclusive Satinder Sartaaj × Yezdi graphics inspired by the classic machine from the music video. The customisation reflects his deep connection to the brand.
Parallel Between Artist and Machine
There is a poignant parallel between Sartaaj and Yezdi. Both have remained steadfast in an age driven by trends. Sartaaj has built his career by staying faithful to poetry, rigorous music training, and the traditions of Punjabi folk and Sufi music, presenting them to global audiences without sacrificing their soul. Yezdi, too, draws its appeal from heritage, craftsmanship, and lived experience, not passing fashion. This kinship endures beyond a song or social media post.
Yezdi as a Symbol of Freedom and Individuality
Across Punjab and north India, Yezdi has long represented freedom, companionship, and individuality. These ideas have shaped much of Sartaaj's creative world. His songs don't chase trends; they preserve memories, celebrate roots, and find beauty in life's journey. His latest video is a reminder that relationships are built over time, gathering stories along the way.
