Summary
- Lyricist Sameer Anjaan refused Aashiqui 2 due to team changes.
- He felt Aashiqui was a team effort and respected Nadeem-Shravan.
- Anjaan recently wrote lyrics for a new song in an upcoming Aashiqui film.

Sameer Anjaan, the lyricist behind the iconic songs of the first Aashiqui film, recently shared his reasons for not contributing to its sequel, Aashiqui 2. He explained that the original film's success was a collective effort, and he felt it was important to maintain that team spirit. Anjaan stated that his conscience guided him to decline the offer for Aashiqui 2, as the original musical collaborators, Nadeem-Shravan, were not involved.
However, Anjaan has recently penned lyrics for a reprised version of the song 'Tu Meri Zindagi Hai' from the Aashiqui franchise for an upcoming musical romance. He agreed to this project, which is directed by Anurag Basu and features Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela, partly due to his respect for Basu and encouragement from composer Pritam. Anjaan expressed his hope that the new rendition will also be well-received by audiences, similar to the original.
These insights were shared by the esteemed lyricist during discussions about his newly launched music label, Aumora Music. Anjaan also touched upon his career longevity and relevance in the evolving music industry.
