Divyam Sodhi’s Latest Single Captures The Unspoken Weight of Love's Undoing
When people say “Tell me about yourself", you reach for the low hanging fruits within to come up with an answer; name, work, interests, one-liner about your childhood, and you move on. But when you're by yourself the inquiry deepens. You realize that deep down, you don’t feel like a fixed thing. You're something in flux. Like a tide. Always shifting, in response to things that touch you — places, memories, people.
Especially people. You fall in love, and something in you rearranges. You pick up their rhythm. Their expressions. Their ways of being in the world. You soften in some places and grow sharper in others. That’s what love does. It seeps in becomes a part of who you are.
And then one day, they’re gone. And you’re left holding versions of yourself that only made sense when they were with you. You lose a part of yourself. You try to talk about it, to explain how you're not quite sure who you are now. But the words fall short.
What do you say?
That's the question at the heart of Kya Kahein, the latest single by Divyam Sodhi. The track is a question about identity and how it shatters and collages into something else throughout the journey of love. An expansion of sorts, our inner world cracks open to let someone else in. You begin to understand new things about yourself, that are illuminated simply because someone else sees them in you. You experience the vastness of both the wonder and awe of meeting someone and the way you're undone by their absence.
The music video, directed by Pencils & Frames and featuring Divyam Sodhi and Rutwik Deshpande, subtly visualizes the song’s emotional landscape. Two men, at the opposite shores of a river, find connection without ever meeting. Their bond grows through silent gestures and shared rhythms of routine. They become two units of a shared being for a precious while. Until one of them leaves. The river between them, as if a metaphor of time and transience pulls them apart.
So when the singer asks again and again, Kya kahein, kya na kahein? — it’s not indecision. It’s a powerless & vulnerable honesty. Because this thing called love is profoundly majestic and absurd. And by the time it is done with you, you're left with no words.
