Padma Shri recipient Hans Raj Hans has released his new single 'Ohdiyan Khedaan', marking a return to music with a track that emphasizes human connection over religious themes. The song was written by Sanjeev Anand, composed by Amdad Ali, produced by Harshit Anand, and released under the Anand Records label.
Hans Raj Hans on the Song's Essence
Speaking at the release, Hans said, "It was a beautiful opportunity to express my feelings, emotions and thoughts. To release this song, a lot of people came. The song is related to music and is not spiritual." He elaborated on the track's emotional weight: "The song has a thought, an essence of life. One can feel spirituality if one listens to it. I have made an attempt."
Deliberate Balance in the Track
Hans's comments indicate a careful balance in the song, designed to exist outside devotional or strictly religious music while still allowing listeners to derive a spiritual interpretation. This distinction—between a song about faith and a song that simply feels reflective—appears to be the core concept Hans intended to convey.
Collaboration and Reception
Ahead of its release, 'Ohdiyan Khedaan' was billed as the "soulful collaboration of the year." The single is now available across all major streaming platforms, bringing Hans's distinctive voice back to audiences after a period away from the spotlight.
