Ankush Bahuguna, known for his dynamic journey from comedy to beauty and fashion content, has now taken a bold step into the world of music videos with Dariya, a heartfelt song by Himanshu Parikh. The music video, now out, presents Ankush in an intimate and deeply romantic setting, a refreshing contrast to the witty and glamorous persona his audience knows. His seamless performance, coupled with undeniable chemistry with his co-star, makes the storytelling in Dariya feel authentic and evocative.
Speaking about this exciting new phase, Ankush shared,
“Being in a music video has been a bucket list item for me since forever and when this opportunity came by and I first heard the song, I think the song had so much heart – Himanshu’s voice, the story behind the song I hope everybody gets to know the story of why he wrote the song and what the song really means because that just makes the song ten times more powerful and when I also saw how they planned to shoot it and everything I was just on board and I think this is the kind of music that I enjoy. This is the kind of music that I listen to, even if I was not a part of the music video I think would be playing the song on loop. So that’s why I knew that this was a right choice for my *first music video* and even on sets the vibes were great. Everybody who worked on this music video really believed in you know Himanshu as a musician and his song, work and the lyrics and everything – all the great forces came together and this song is all heart. Also because I started my career as a comedy content creator and then moved into beauty and fashion, there’s always perceptions that build around you. You are constantly boxed into one category or the other, so I always try to break those categories and do things that surprise people. I don’t think my audience has ever seen me in such a romantic light before. It was very exciting, and I think I was thrilled to showcase a new side to me, and that is one more reason why this music video is so special to me.”
This transition marks a defining moment in Ankush’s career—one that proves his ability to evolve and experiment beyond labels. Dariya isn’t just a music video; it’s a testament to his artistic growth, pushing boundaries and stepping into a world where storytelling takes center stage. Whether it’s comedy, beauty, or now music, Ankush continues to keep his audience on their toes, and Dariya is yet another beautiful chapter in his ever-expanding creative journey.
