Hyundai Spotlight Season 4 follows ‘Pahije’ with a soulful collaboration of Raghav Chaitanya with Mehtab Ali Niazi in ‘Tab Se’
Mumbai, 3rd November 2026: Following the success of ‘Pahije’, featuring Sanju Rathod and Juliee Joglekar, Hyundai Spotlight Season 4 returns with ‘Tab Se’. The latest release brings together singer Raghav Chaitanya and sitar virtuoso Mehtab Ali Niazi. Presented by Hyundai Motor India Limited in collaboration with Universal Music Group for Brands, the track blends soulful vocals with intricate classical sitar arrangements. Rooted in Indian musical traditions, it creates a contemporary sound that brings two distinct musical worlds together.
Centred on love, longing and memories, ‘Tab Se’ explores the emotions that remain long after relationships change. Rather than focusing on heartbreak and bitterness, the song takes a reflective approach to nostalgia and acceptance. Raghav, known for his emotive vocals and work with composers such as Pritam and Anurag Saikia, brings his signature soulful delivery to the track. Meanwhile, Mehtab, a seventh-generation musician trained under his father, Ustad Mohsin Ali Khan, adds classical depth. His achievements include the Surjyotsna National Music Award (2022) and recognition in India Today’s Next 100 Achievers (2021).
Speaking about the collaboration, Raghav Chaitanya said, “I enjoy collaborations that bring together artists from different musical backgrounds because they open up new creative possibilities.” Mehtab Ali Niazi added, “Being part of Hyundai Spotlight has been a really nice experience, especially because it allows my music to reach people who might not have come across it otherwise.” Both artists highlighted the opportunity to experiment, learn and explore different musical perspectives through the collaboration.
Virat Khullar, Head of Marketing at Hyundai Motor India, said, “Music has a unique ability to bring together varied influences, voices and experiences while creating meaningful connections with audiences. Through Hyundai Spotlight, we are committed to providing emerging and established artists with a platform to collaborate, experiment and expand their creative horizons. Following the encouraging response to Pahije, we are delighted to present Tab Se, a collaboration that seamlessly brings together Raghav and Mehtab’s distinct artistic styles. The song reflects the richness of diverse Indian musical expressions and the collaborative spirit that defines Season 4 of Hyundai Spotlight.”

Navneet Sodhi, Business Head – Strategic Growth, Marketing & Partnerships; India & South Asia, UMG for Brands, said, “Over the last four years, Hyundai has built a real connection with music and culture through Spotlight. It gives us the freedom to back ideas that speak to younger audiences and give artists room to explore. “Tab Se” is a lovely example of that. Raghav’s expressive voice and Mehtab’s classical grounding come together in a way that feels fresh and unexpected. When artists step beyond familiar territory, the work can surprise them as much as it does the audience. That is when a brand can become part of the cultural conversation in a way that feels natural. I’m looking forward to what we create together this season and in the years ahead”.
With ‘Tab Se’, Hyundai Spotlight Season 4 continues its focus on original collaborations that bring diverse musical voices together. Moving from the regional influences of ‘Pahije’ to the classical-meets-contemporary sound of ‘Tab Se’, the season celebrates India’s evolving musical landscape. By creating opportunities for established and emerging artists to experiment beyond familiar genres, the platform continues to explore new creative possibilities. ‘Tab Se’ is now available to stream on YouTube.
