Punjabi Folk meets Modern Romance in Ishan & Shahat Gill’s new song ‘Destiny’
Mumbai, 30th January 2026: A fresh spark just lit up the Punjabi music scene, singer-songwriter Ishan and Shahat Gillcome together to bring the classic romance rooted in sincerity with ‘Destiny’, a romantic duet that leans into quiet certainty rather than fleeting emotions. Hooked with beats you can’t help but sway to, ‘Destiny’ is the track that captures the moment when two lives finally align, not in drama, but in calm conviction.
Blending melodic Punjabi folk influences with a modern sonic sensibility, Destiny unfolds like a conversation between two souls who know they’ve arrived at the same manzil. Ishan’s steady, assured vocals anchor the track, while Shahat Gill’s graceful tone adds warmth and emotional depth, turning the song into a balanced exchange of devotion and vulnerability.
“We weren’t trying to make another love song”, shares Ishan, “Destiny came from a very honest place. It’s about the moment when love stops feeling uncertain and starts feeling permanent. That tension, that push-and-pull, that’s where the magic is. I wanted the song to sound like a promise, calm, confident, and deeply personal. Working with Shahat was effortless, our worlds are so different musically, yet this song tied them together perfectly”.

“There’s a strange beauty and thrill in loving someone,” adds Shahat Gill. “The song’s emotional clarity stood out to me instantly. What drew me to Destiny was its softness. It doesn’t rush love or dramatise it; instead, it creates space for emotion, surrender, and trust. Ishan’s composition truly gave the song its soul, with that earthy edge. Singing it felt completely natural, like stepping into a feeling that already existed.”
Designed for life’s meaningful milestones, from long drives and quiet confessions to wedding playlists, Destiny carries a timeless quality that feels both nostalgic and new. Its folklore-esque charm and intentional storytelling mark it as a song meant to stay, not just trend.
