Aashiqui Mein is a romantic track from Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past (2026) where composer Prateek Walia doubles as the vocalist, performing against his own music. With lyrics by Shweta Bothra, the song charts the emotional landscape of love in the context of the film's supernatural setting — love that persists even amid fear and the unknown. Released by Saregama on 12 June 2026.

Walia's self-produced vocal track has a bedroom-pop intimacy about it — close-mic'd vocals, sparse guitar, and a sense that the song was captured in a single emotional take. This vulnerability suits the film's horror-romance premise, where love and dread are intertwined.

Shweta Bothra's lyrics use 'aashiqui' (love/passion) as a state of being that consumes entirely — leaving the lover simultaneously empowered and helpless. The imagery avoids supernatural metaphors, keeping the song in a purely human emotional register.

Prateek Walia's journey from Instagram Live singer to multi-track composer and vocalist on a Vikram Bhatt film represents one of the digital era's most remarkable music career arcs. Aashiqui Mein, where he performs his own composition, is the most personal statement on the album.

As the album's most personal track and Walia's own performance, Aashiqui Mein marks a debut of sorts — composer-as-singer in a major Bollywood horror franchise — that may influence how younger composers approach their careers.
