Mumbai, 28th August 2026: Singer-songwriter Ishan Krishan teams up with singer and performer Shirley Setia for their new single “Tera Banke Rehna,” a heartfelt love ballad about surrender, longing and the kind of love that continues to endure even when two people cannot ultimately be together. Released on August 25, 2026, the track brings together the two artists in an intimate musical conversation, with both perspectives reflecting the depth of a relationship that leaves a lasting emotional imprint. At its core is the promise, “Jidhar jaaye tu, us raste te main rehna”, a simple expression of choosing to remain connected to someone wherever life takes them.
For Ishan Krishan, “Tera Banke Rehna” marks another important step in a rapidly developing musical journey. The Mumbai-based singer, who has roots in Chandigarh, first caught listeners’ attention with his breakout release “Kol Mere,” which crossed 2 million streams, generated more than 30,000 Instagram Reels and appeared on Spotify’s Viral charts in India and Pakistan. His collaboration with Shirley Setia allows him to explore a deeply emotional narrative while continuing to develop the contemporary sound that has been connecting with audiences.
