Writing and composing it felt like growing up, striving towards a goal to find that guiding presence.” He also shared, “I envisioned ‘Fanaa’ during my late 20s, reflecting my dream of a world without boundaries. It took shape as a song in my 40s.”

Rishi Khanna, the producer of “Fanaa,” also shared his insights, “My journey with ‘Fanaa’ was best captured by the line ‘man chala.’ I sensed that our economist friend Anando’s true passion is music, so I suggested that we collaborate for the sake of music. He introduced me to Divyam, and when I heard the song ‘Fanaa’ written by Anando and sung by Divyam, I loved it instantly. I was pleased to support its production in the form of a music video, and I am delighted with the output. I look forward to more songs and videos from Justajoo.”
Justajoo invites fans and music enthusiasts alike to join them on this exhilarating journey of self-discovery and rediscovery through the medium of music.
