Mumbai, Aug 7
Akanksha Puri has come out with a new music video titled “Ek Aasmaan Thaâ€. The actress said that the rough version of the track gave her goosebumps and that it felt personal.
In the new music video, Akanksha is seen alongside co-star Sanam Johar. The video explores themes of connection, longing, and romantic tension.
"I was a bit concerned initially because I had never met or worked with Sanam before," Akanksha said.
"But he's such a grounded artist. Our comfort level was instant. People might find it hard to believe we met for the first time during the shoot!" she added.
Although Sanam is known for his dance skills, the video required more chemistry than choreography.
Akanksha said: "This wasn't about steps--it was about syncing emotions. And somehow, it just flowed naturally. I had worked with the same team earlier for Barsatein Acchi Lagti Hai and had a great time."
"When they approached me again with this melancholic love track, I immediately connected to it. The rough version of the song gave me goosebumps. It felt personal, raw--and that's rare."
For Akanksha, music videos are a creative outlet.
"They allow you to push your style and performance boundaries. The shoot is crisp, energetic, and gives you amazing engagement. I always get excited when I'm offered a song. It's a break from long-format acting and gives you space to explore a different side of yourself."
It was in 2013, when Akanksha bagged her for a role for the Tamil action comedy Alex Pandian through which she made her first film debut. She later made her Hindi film debut with Madhur Bhandarkar's 2015 drama film Calendar Girls. In 2017, she was cast as Mata AdiParashakti in Vighnaharta Ganesh TV series. She is the winner of the show Swayamvar - Mika Di Vohti.

Honestly, I prefer her acting in TV shows more. Music videos these days all look the same - romantic close-ups with slow motion shots. But wishing her the best!
The song title "Ek Aasmaan Tha" reminds me of those 90s melodious tracks. Hope it lives up to the nostalgia. Akanksha ji has come a long way since her Tamil debut - proud of her journey!
As a cinematography student, I'm more interested in how they shot this. The lighting in the stills looks very European cinema style. Indian music videos are finally getting global quality.
Remember her as AdiParashakti in Vighnaharta Ganesh? What a transformation! From divine goddess to romantic lead - she's showing great range as an artist. More power to her! 🙌
Interesting how Indian artists are balancing TV, films and music videos simultaneously. In Hollywood, this crossover is rare. The entertainment industry here seems more versatile.
