A surprise moment at Arijit Singh’s latest concert turned the spotlight on an indie track that has been quietly growing online. The singer’s live performance of ‘Kaahe Mose’ also brought its creators, Garvit-Priyansh, into wider attention.

It started like any other concert night. Crowds, lights, noise, and the usual expectation that Arijit Singh would simply do what he always does: sing, silence the world for a moment. But somewhere in between familiar melodies and roaring cheers, something unexpected slipped into setlist moment of the night. A song not from Bollywood charts, not from a film soundtrack, but from two indie artists barely known outside niche playlists. And then came the twist. Arijit didn’t just sing it. He called it his favourite.
The song was “Kaahe Mose” by indie duo Garvit-Priyansh.

The song was written, composed, and sung entirely by Garvit-Priyansh, and has been quietly building its own audience online.

But what turned heads wasn’t just the performance. It was what came with it.
Arijit Singh told the audience it was his favourite song at the moment. Then, in a gesture that instantly changed the energy of the night, he asked thousands of fans to remember the names of the duo behind it.
For Garvit and Priyansh, who have been building their identity from scratch in the independent music space, the moment carried a weight that went beyond applause.
The song itself, “Kaahe Mose”, blends classical vocal styling with a soft rock structure. It stays minimal in production and emotionally direct in tone.
The track has now crossed 3.2 million streams on Spotify and over 1.6 million views on YouTube. Its music video, featuring Eshaan Duggal and Kashish Panchpuri, adds a grounded visual narrative.
The story of Garvit-Priyansh did not begin in a studio or under a label. It began, oddly enough, on Instagram.
In late 2021, Priyansh came across a reel posted by Garvit. It wasn’t polished or heavily produced. It was simple. Just a voice, a frame, and an emotional pull that stood out.
That was enough.
Priyansh sent a message: “Let’s collaborate on a cover?”
That one message led to their first collaboration, which quickly found unexpected traction online. But what mattered more than early attention was what they discovered in each other: creative alignment.
Despite being in different countries; Priyansh studying Mechanical Engineering in Germany and Garvit pursuing Music and Economics at MSU Baroda, they decided to continue working together.
They created music remotely through Zoom calls, voice notes, shared drafts. In just eight days, they wrote and produced their first original song “Sanware”, released in January 2022.
More songs followed including “Rang” and “Theher Jaa”.

By August 2022, the duo made a decision that changed their trajectory. They moved to Mumbai and set up their own studio. It was also the moment they officially became Garvit-Priyansh as an artist unit.
From there, their work started reaching wider circles.
They signed with T-Series, released original songs with professionally produced music videos, and began performing live across India.
But despite the growing list of achievements, the Arijit Singh moment at the concert stood apart.
When asked about it, the duo described it as emotionally overwhelming and difficult to process in real time. They spoke about how Arijit Singh had been part of their musical upbringing and how his songs had shaped their understanding of emotion in music.
They also spoke about the vulnerability behind “Kaahe Mose” and how seeing it resonate at that scale felt like a full-circle moment in their journey from independent creators to recognised artists.
