Actor Amartya Ray’s first Bengali song ‘Ami Na Tumi’ creates a buzz

Desperate times call for creative measures. That’s what we all are seeing these days amid the corona crisis. In these tough times many artistic expressions, creative brilliance on social media are keeping us connected.
Young actor Amartya Ray’s Bengali song ‘Ami Na Tumi’ is one such attempt. It sheds light on the tough times and addresses the fear in our minds induced by the soaring figures of the ones affected, the thoughts on isolation and the unsaid fear about the tomorrow ahead of us.
The song was released on April 25 on Chaiti O Amartya, the YouTube channel that he launched jointly with his mother, actress Chaiti Ghoshal. The channel often comes up with a wide range of performance art like music, recitals, and theatre by the mother-son duo.
Amartya, an independent musician and a student of film direction at FTII Pune, generally writes his lyrics in Hindi and English and has already won hearts on social media previously with songs like ‘Little Man’ and ‘Sleeping Gypsy’ on the YouTube channel ‘Friday Night Originals’ and this is the first time he has crooned a song in Bengali.
