Famous music star Komal Rizvi recently launched her second music video of her song ‘Yehi Pyar Hai’ before a packed audience and the media. Rizvi said on the occasion that the song is very close to her heart. She said, “Music has been a saviour for me and the reason for my being.” She added that it was only recently that she began to understand the depth and intensity of the influence that music has on her.
“On many occasions, music has given my soul immense peace and has lent to me the strength to stay a very happy and positive person. I am nothing without music,” she explained. Rizvi wrote ‘Yehi Pyar Hai’ after she heard Vicky Haider compose the music for her. “I chose it because its notes touched my heart. This is the way I work with all my songs,” she said. She added that her songs do not have to be of a particular genre. “They don’t have to have a particular sound to them. My songs are simply a piece of musical art that I personally like. It could be folk, hip-hop or a romantic ballad – such as this one. If I like it, I’ll sing it,” she explained.
Rizvi said that ‘Yehi Pyar Hai’ is all about love. “My song is about waiting for your one true love. Most of us wait for the love of a soul mate or of God. I used to wait for my one true love – music,” she explained. She said, “We are all mere beings driven by our passions and ambitions. We sometimes forget that in the end, when it comes right down to it, we are looking for the same thing, which is happiness, peace and love.”
She hoped that everyone finds what they are looking for, through whichever medium they are individually pursuing it. “I hope that when we find it, or if we have already, we appreciate it and own it forever – as a person, as a family, as an industry and, most importantly, as a country,” she added.
