'Disconnect(Punjabi version)' - Pragnya Wakhlu ft. Saahir
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
Disconnect (Punjabi version) is a fresh bi-lingual take on Pragnya’s funky, spoken word original ‘Disconnect’ featuring Dubai-based Punjabi rapper Saahir B
The song talks about the blurred lines between reality and the illusionary world. It encourages people to disconnect from their devices and rekindle human connection. Reminiscing the pre-mobile phone era when conversations were more and screen time was less, this song infused with its energetic folk elements will take you on a happy trip down memory lane.
The song makes us makes one wonder whether the things that are supposedly created to bring us together as humans could be the same things that are drawing us apart.
Could we pause & return to simpler times where connection meant endless cups of chai , honest banter with a friend & being present to people around us?
Could we disconnect to reconnect?
