New track released by Monali Thakur titled "Ek Baar Phir"
Monali Thakur, the renowned singer known for her National Award-winning song Moh Moh Ke Dhaage from Dum Laga Ke Haisha, has released a new song titled Ek Baar Phir. This powerful ballad, soaring high in the hearts and minds of music lovers, is currently scoring on the new releases list.
In Ek Baar Phir, Thakur delves deep into her personal experiences of betrayal, abuse, and heartbreak. The song is a reflection of her journey of coping with loss, finding hope, and healing through love and resilience. Thakur describes it as "a song of my journey in finding that hope and love again — the strength to survive all the challenges of life and not give up."
The song's teaser portrays Thakur experiencing abuse, coupled with her voiceover in Hindi expressing the pain of betrayal by someone close: "When someone close to you hurts and betrays you, your heart weeps a thousand tears, and you wonder, 'Why did this happen with me?'" The teaser and song showcase themes of emotional abuse, resilience, and healing, making Ek Baar Phir Thakur's most personal and vulnerable musical statement yet.
The video of Ek Baar Phir features Thakur lying contemplatively in a bathtub, symbolising her past experiences of being in an abusive relationship and losing her freedom.

Thakur emphasises the unbreakable bond of family, especially highlighting her relationship with her mother, which acts as an emotional anchor in her recovery process. Through Ek Baar Phir, she openly channels her pain and transforms it into a message of strength and hope for others facing similar hardships.
Ek Baar Phir is available for streaming on YouTube and music platforms. Previously, Thakur has mesmerized audiences with her voice in songs like Moh Moh Ke Dhaage, Sawar Loon, and Cham Cham. This new release is a testament to her talent and resilience, making it a must-listen for music enthusiasts.
