Bekhayali (transl. Without thoughts) is a Hindi song from the 2019 romantic film Kabir Singh, sung by Arijit Singh and Sachet Tandon composed by Sachet–Parampara and penned by Irshad Kamil.[1]

Background

Liking Sachet–Parampara's work in Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Shahid Kapoor arranged for the duo's meeting with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and the producers of Kabir Singh. "We were told to create a song that would be main song of the story with five emotions, because it had to capture the whole story. Vanga already had a song in his mind for the film. The new song had to be that good, which could overpower the earlier one, and he should feel it was also going with the narrative", says Sachet.[2]
