Local songbird Peggy Supersad released her latest single on Wednesday at 103.1FM studios, thrilling the audience with a unique fusion track inspired by a live adaptation of the song performed by the late Indian music icon Asha Bhosle.
Her version of Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko combined Bollywood melodies with a subtle Latin rhythm, creating what Supersad described as a refreshing reinterpretation.
“This particular recording is extra special because it was taken from a live adaptation that she did a few years ago,” Supersad told 103.1FM News.
“I’m very excited about how this fusion of Bollywood with a little hint of Latin will be coming together.”
The talented singer and dancer said the concept emerged after her producer Vedish Gayadeen of T&TEC Gayatones fame came across the live version and sought to re-imagine it with added musical layers and Caribbean influence.
“He added additional music onto it, in that same flowing, Latin style, and then you have the Bollywood fusion coming after,” Supersad said.
While the track was recorded in mid-February 2026, it has taken on deeper emotional significance following Asha Bhosle’s recent death.
Supersad acknowledged the timing as “bittersweet,” noting that while the project was not intended as a tribute, it now stands as a respectful nod to the legendary singer’s legacy.
“It’s almost like paying tribute to her in that way but it was not done for that purpose. I’m still very appreciative to be doing solid justice to what she has given to the public through her career,” she said.
The single is a standalone release, continuing Supersad’s ongoing collaboration with the Vedish and Capil Gayadeen.
“Most of the songs I’ve done so far are produced from the T&TEC Gayatones, (The Gayadeens) choose the songs, build the music from scratch, and the choose their singers. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to voice and put down my vocals on these amazing tracks,” she said.
She praised the Gayadeen’s humility and musical guidance.
“They are so humble and down-to-earth. It’s like talking to family,” Supersad said, “I really appreciate the guidance
“I’m very grateful for the tips and their guidance, moulding me into a better singer. That’s why I enjoy the process—it’s not just about recording, it s about learning and becoming better at your craft.”
Supersad credited her musical roots to childhood exposure to India’s golden era of playback singing.
She cited legends such as Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, and Mukesh as key influences.
“I was always very drawn to this genre and that era,” Supersad said, “That is the type of music I really love to perform now.”
Looking ahead, fans can expect a different arrangement of the song during her upcoming Mother’s day performance at 103.1FM’s Mom’s Night Out.
Supersad plans to deliver a more updated version of Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko at Mom’s Night Out, as part of a selection of classic hits.
There will also be a surprise duet.
Supersad would not reveal who the duet is with, but promised fans will be royally entertained.
