Azaan Sami Khan dedicates music video for ‘Jaadugari’ to his kids, says no magic supersedes fatherhood

Azaan Sami Khan announced his debut album Main Tera recently and the music video for ‘Jaadugari’, one of the nine tracks, is finally out. Khan is changing the game by attributing the concept in the video to a topic rarely celebrated by our celebrities — fatherhood. The singer said he’s always wanted to produce music that feels personal to him and ‘Jaadugari’ does just that because for him fatherhood is the most magical experience.

“This is a very special one for me for reasons that you’ll see. I always wanted my independent music to be personal and it doesn’t get more personal for me than this. There’s no magic that supersedes the magic of being a father to you Ebu and Lilly. Along with all the others, this one’s for you… Love, Baba,” the singer captioned an Instagram post showcasing part of the music video.

Khan thanked Asim Raza, the music director, for having faith in him and sharing his special affinity with fatherhood. He also thanked the lyricist. “This was the last song Shakeel Sohail wrote for me before his passing and will always be very special.”

Addressing his Instagram audience, he hoped they enjoy it. “Finally here’s to all of you, I hope you have fun with this and like it!”

The music video begins with Khan on a piano and progresses to him stepping out and responding with love whenever someone tries to harm him — he gifts a rose to a woman who holds a crystal ball casting an evil glance and hugs the thugs who try to fight him on the subway. He returns to his kids at the end of the day to tuck them into bed, gazing at them lovingly.

“Experience the magic of love with Azaan Sami Khan through the visionary eyes of Asim Raza. I hope you like it,” read the caption to the video on his YouTube channel.

In conversation with ICON in Jan, Khan said, “I wanted to make something that is more Azaan, When I’m scoring for a soundtrack — whether it’s for a drama series or a film, for me, the story is about those characters. If I tried to exude my own personal emotions on them, then I would not be being honest to those characters. But this album… this is me.”
