“We Always Wanted to Make Music for the Heart”: Banjaare Bring the Story of ‘Barsaat’ to Life With Official Music Video National, 11th September 2026: After a landmark run that saw their music travel from Haryana to global audiences, Banjaare, the brother duo - Sumit and Anuj, now unveil the official music video for ‘Barsaat’, bringing their deeply emotional story of love, longing and letting go to life on screen. The release comes at a defining point in the duo’s journey, following the success of ‘Bairan’ and ‘Barsaat’, their association with Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s India campaign and their record of becoming the first Haryanvi artists to deliver back-to-back No. 1 songs on Spotify India Charts. A continuation of the emotional world introduced with ‘Bairan’, ‘Barsaat’ looks at what remains after the relationship falls apart, this time through the woman’s eyes. Played by Punjabi actor Akaisha Vats, the official video follows ‘HER’ journey. The story unfolds through intimate memories and flashbacks captured in a grainy, retro-visual style. The video is directed by Teji Sandhu, known for his work on music-led visual narratives including Mitta Ror’s viral track Sheesha. His visual treatment brings a certain nostalgia to Barsaat, allowing the emotion to sit at the centre of the story rather than overpowering it. In his recent post, he shared, “No monitor, no instant playback honestly, I had no idea how it would come out. That uncertainty is the beauty of film.” Speaking about the journey of ‘Barsaat’ Banjaare shared, “We have always wanted to make music that reaches the heart, and seeing people make our songs a part of their own lives means everything to us. With ‘Barsaat’, we got to tell the story in a completely new way. Our dream is to take Haryanvi music to a place where people everywhere feel proud of their roots and their mother tongue. We hope ‘Barsaat’ makes people feel something long after the song ends.” The release marks another chapter in Banjaare’s growing journey of taking Haryanvi music beyond its traditional boundaries. ‘Bairan’ established the emotional connection; ‘Barsaat’ has taken that connection further, finding its place on the charts, within the Spider-Man universe and now on screen through a story that speaks to the universal experience of loving, losing and learning to let go. For Banjaare, the journey has never been about leaving their roots behind to reach a wider audience. It has been about taking those roots with them. With ‘Barsaat’, they continue to show that a song can be deeply rooted in its language and culture while still finding a place in hearts far beyond it.

P R E S S R E L E A S E Jennifer Winget on Creating NOT JUST ONE with Ekatra Jewels: ‘I’ve Spent 20 Years Playing Different Women. With This, I Got to Create Something of My Own’ ~ The actor and co-creator brings her personal perspective to seven solitaire shapes, each representing a different facet of the same woman ~ India, September 2026: Jennifer Winget has spent two decades stepping into different versions of women on screen. Now, she has stepped into a new creative field as a co creator with Ekatra Jewels, with the launch of NOT JUST ONE, her new solitaire jewellery collection. Inspired by her own relationship with jewellery and personal style, the collection marks a shift from simply wearing jewellery to having a hand in creating it. The collection brings together seven diamond shapes, each representing a quality that can exist within the same woman: Round for Confidence, Marquise for Courage, Heart for Nurturing and Love, Pear for Curiosity and Creativity, Oval for Clarity and Mindfulness, Emerald for Drive, and Multi shape for Authenticity. Rather than representing seven different women, the collection celebrates the many sides of one woman and the freedom to embrace more than one. Winget has been closely involved in the making of the collection, from selecting the shapes to considering how each piece sits on the hand, the scale of the settings and how the designs can be mixed and worn together. For an actor who has spent years stepping into different characters, the process offered an opportunity to bring her own perspective into something from the ground up. “I’ve always tried not to stay in one box… as an actor, or as a person. I don’t think any of us are just one thing. We’re constantly changing, growing and discovering different sides of ourselves, and that’s what inspired NOT JUST ONE.” said Jennifer Winget. That personal perspective extends to the way Winget approaches jewellery. She gravitates towards pieces that become part of her everyday wardrobe rather than being reserved for special occasions. Reflecting that approach, NOT JUST ONE includes rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets, studs and drops that can be worn individually or combined across the different shapes. Ekatra’s proprietary hollow gold construction keeps the pieces lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear. "Each shape in the collection represents a different part of who we are ,who we were, who we’re becoming, and everything in between. Jewellery is personal. For me, it should feel like an extension of you….whoever you choose to be that day. Much like acting, where I step into different characters and discover a different side of myself with every role.” said Winget. The idea behind the collection is also reflected in its campaign, which explores the seven shapes through different moods and everyday moments. Rather than treating the collection as seven separate looks, the campaign brings out the different emotions and qualities that each shape represents. “And with NOT JUST ONE, I didn’t want to simply be the face of a collection. I wanted to create one. Acting will always be my passion. Creating jewellery is something I’m discovering and loving in a completely different way. Because who says you have to be only one thing? I certainly don’t think any woman is.” said Winget. The collection brings together Winget’s creative perspective with Ekatra’s expertise in lab grown diamonds and fine jewellery craftsmanship. Every diamond in NOT JUST ONE is grown, cut and finished in house by Ekatra through its farm to finger model. All Ekatra diamonds are Type IIa, described by the brand as the rarest form of diamond, accounting for roughly two per cent of diamonds globally. The collection also features Ekatra’s Shristi Ratna™ cut, which holds a granted design patent in India. For Winget, the choice of a grown diamond connects with the intention behind the collection. “I liked the idea of a diamond that is created with intention. There is something quite meaningful about that for me. So much of who we become is shaped by the choices we make, the things we build and the experiences we go through. The idea of creating something with purpose felt very aligned with what this collection is trying to say about women,” said Winget. The collaboration is rooted in Ekatra’s wider philosophy of working with women as co creators rather than traditional ambassadors. Taking its name from the Sanskrit word meaning “together” or “coming together”, the brand brings together different perspectives, aesthetics and creative voices in the process of creating its jewellery. Its wider group of women collaborators includes Apoorva Mukhija, Pragya Kapoor and Jennifer Winget. Pavitra Gandhi, Founder, Ekatra Jewels, said, “Jennifer didn't want to be the face of a collection. She wanted to make one. That is the only kind of partnership we are interested in, women coming together to build, which is what the word has always meant.” NOT JUST ONE is available at ekatrajewels.com and Ekatra counters.
