MUMBAI — Actor and trained vocalist Tara Sutaria treated fans to an intimate acoustic performance on Tuesday night, posting a candid video of a midnight jam session from her Mumbai residence.
The 28-year-old artist was captured singing a heartfelt rendition of "Tum Hi Aana," the signature romantic ballad from her 2019 feature film Marjaavaan. Dressed in relaxed black loungewear, Sutaria performed the emotional track with her eyes closed, accompanied by a soft background arrangement.
Posting the clip to her official social media account, Sutaria expressed her continued gratitude for the track's enduring popularity across global streaming platforms.
"Midnight jam sessions at home #TumHiAana," Sutaria captioned the post. "One of my favorite ballads from my films... Over 1 billion views across YouTube... thank you for giving us so much love!" She tagged key collaborators on the project, including playback singer Jubin Nautiyal and director Milap Zaveri.
The Legacy of a Multi-Platform Hit
Composed by Payal Dev with lyrics penned by Kunaal Vermaa, "Tum Hi Aana" served as the emotional core of Marjaavaan. The original studio recording, performed by Jubin Nautiyal, anchored the film's narrative surrounding the tragic romance between Zoya (played by Sutaria) and Raghu (played by Sidharth Malhotra).
Since its late-2019 release under T-Series, the original music video and its accompanying audio versions have collectively crossed the 1-billion-views threshold on YouTube, remaining one of the decade's most streamed Hindi romantic tracks.
A Classical Trajectory: From Stage to Screen
While widely known for her leading roles in mainstream Hindi cinema, Sutaria's professional background is deeply rooted in formal vocal performance and dance.
Born and raised in Mumbai within a Parsi Zoroastrian family, Sutaria and her twin sister, Pia Sutaria, received extensive childhood training in classical ballet, modern dance, and Latin American styles. Prior to her on-screen acting debut, Sutaria established her credentials as a professional vocalist, performing in solo concerts and choral productions internationally.
Sutaria first gained widespread public attention in 2010 as a host on Disney India's Big Bada Boom before transitioning to sitcoms such as The Suite Life of Karan & Kabir and Oye Jassie. Her formal Bollywood entry arrived in 2019 with Karan Johar’s Student of the Year 2, which she quickly followed with Marjaavaan.
In recent years, Sutaria has diversified her portfolio, starring in the action drama Tadap, Heropanti 2, and the ensemble thriller Ek Villain Returns. Her most recent leading turn in Star Studios' 2023 survival drama Apurva earned critical praise for her physical and dramatic transformation, marking a departure from her earlier romantic roles.
Sutaria's late-night vocal clip serves as a reminder to fans and industry observers alike of her dual identity as both a screen lead and a classically trained musical performer.
