You may know him as @shreyaspuranikofficial, the hit machine behind some of the biggest chartbusters and beautiful melodies that shake your soul… But I remember him as that boy with fearless confidence, sitting on the canteen bench, curls bouncing, strumming his rustic guitar… A wave of students around him — hooting, humming, harmonising.And today? Sab usi ke dhun pe gaa rahe hain. Love you, brother. This is just the beginning. So much more to come!”

The post further included a video of Siddhant and Puranik jamming on the “Duniya Alag” song.

Reacting to the post, an emotional Puranik commented, “Bhai… this post made me emotional. From college corridors to film credits — it’s been one wild, beautiful ride. You’ve always carried your roots with grace, and to be sharing this moment with you means the world. Here’s to more music, more memories, and chasing more dreams together. Grateful for you always”.

The heartfelt lyrics of “Duniya Alag” penned by Siddharth‑Garima, have been brought to life by Arijit Singh.

Helmed by Shazia Iqbal, the romantic entertainer stars Siddhant and Triptii Dimri as the lead pair.
