Ananya Panday’s character, Bae, finds herself entangled in a charming and dreamy romance with her boss, Neel, portrayed by Gurfateh Pirzada, in the newly released music video “Vekh Sohneyaa.” This song, released by Sony Music India, is part of the upcoming Prime Video series Call Me Bae. The video, which runs for two minutes and thirty-three seconds, premiered on Tuesday, capturing the audience’s attention with its fairytale-like narrative.
The video begins by introducing Bae, a glamorous and wealthy girl from South Delhi who relocates to Mumbai after being cut off by her billionaire family. In Mumbai, she adopts a stylish and trendy persona, reminiscent of iconic characters like Alexis Rose from the Canadian TV show Schitt’s Creek and Caroline Channing from the American series 2 Broke Girls. As Bae navigates the challenges of adjusting to a middle-class lifestyle, she embarks on a job search, which leads her to Neel, her new employer.
Throughout the video, sparks fly between Bae and Neel, showcasing their undeniable chemistry. This romantic tension builds until the end, where Neel gets down on one knee and hands Bae a card, creating a poignant moment. However, the final shot leaves viewers questioning reality, hinting that the entire love story might be a product of Bae’s imagination.
“Vekh Sohneyaa” is composed, written, and performed by Charan and Bombay The Artist, with Dishant handling production duties. The song sets the stage for Call Me Bae, a series produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under the banner of Dharmatic Entertainment. The series also features prominent actors such as Vir Das, Vihaan Samat, Muskkaan Jaferi, and Niharika Lyra Dutt. Call Me Bae is set to premiere on Prime Video on September 6, promising an entertaining mix of humor, romance, and drama.
