A bluetooth era viral song. Just imagine how famous it was at that time. No social media. 2G phones. CD burn kar ke milta tha. Kya din tha. ❤

[@swetanksingh]

CD burning with Nero 7

[@_ityadi]

It was so popular in Kota Rajasthan. I remember hearing it there when I was doing IIT JEE coaching... so nostalgic!

[@PSKx13]

Bro , this song soooooooo sacred for me. I cried and prayed listening to this song for my first love when i was 16. She's not with me and I've moved on but the sacred feeling of pure first love is what i treasure in my heart. This songs reminds me of me being a pure hearted boy.

[@GabbarKooner]

[@PraxPMusic]

Soo many memories with this song. Good to see Gnjendra showing us the breadown of the song. ❤

[@MukeshRathore]

Reminded my old days .. heart touching ❤

[@abhilashbhardwaj5966]

I am from Assam, I even went to IIT- Guwahati to know about Rohan Rathore. That was the craze when it released...

[@HoneyAhujaVlogs]

But still seem Gajendra has a different voice and song says something else

[@Sunday__Travel]

@@HoneyAhujaVlogsexactly I always thought he’s lying

[@PallabDas-ff4ek]

I would rather be happy to die with a fake narrative of Rohan Rathore than to live with Gajendra Verma's breakdown!

[@anishs5652]

​@@Sunday__Travelbro voice changes over time

[@Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa0]

Itne bade Iconic and evergreen song ke piche bus itni basic si Simple si kahani hogi kabhi nahi socha tha par doesn’t matter this song is really a pure nostalgia for all of us, those beautiful college school days and this song 🔥🫶🏻

[@chanakyashukla5820]

After all the rumors surrounding the heartbroken, cancer-stricken IITian, Rohan Rathore, the truth behind the story finally seems clear. Back in 2011, when the song first surfaced, I was in my second year of engineering, trying to carve out a name for myself in the music world. By then, I had already spent 10 years working on my craft and was interacting with all kinds of musicians-amateurs and professionals alike. It didn’t take much to realize that the story didn’t add up. A part-time musician, especially under such circumstances, couldn’t possibly have produced a track of that caliber. The perfectly leveled mix, studio-quality vocals, minimalistic instrumentation, and seamless arrangement all pointed to a professional production. I knew the narrative was fabricated. And when the next song, "Phir Suna", was released, I couldn’t help but question those who insisted Rohan Rathore had passed away after recording the first one. Did he rise from the dead to release this new track? It was all too clear-this was never about a tragic story but a cleverly crafted myth.

[@jineshudani401]

My 14 year old cousin could use AI better to come up with more original comments. C'mon man, at least try to edit.

[@EkAurEngineer]

It's not just a song it is a permanent emotion.

[@DivanshuAzad]

Emptiness is a whole journey and Gajendra verma is an underrated musician🤌.

[@luciferbhoi]

I sang this song in my college competition in 2014 and i won first prize. This song was Massive hit that time and we used to listen it on loop.

[@AnujRishov007]

I was in class VIII. One friend of mine brought this song from another friend of his. It was so popular back then, every school going kid was listening and singing to this. I still do.

[@VaibhavSingh.mp04]

[@radhemalik6349]

@Gajendra Verma brother, you just put your heart into it. Every audience can feel you brother ❤ lots of love

[@itmeeeez]

Thanks for making college life so memorable.

[@Miji-b7r]

O gosh!! Gajendra Verma 😊😊 Lots of ❤️ from Arunachal Pradesh India 🇮🇳

[@robertbaite]

In 2010 when I was in Mysore University...I always listen to this song. I heard this song according to the story the singer composed before he committed SUICIDE due to heart broken of Love story. At that time I was heartbroken after hearing my highschool Girlfriend got married after falling for more than 5 years. After more 15 yrs ... I came to know the story behind the song. After hearing his interview I want to take my back Heartbroken and Tears 😭💔 whenever I listened to Emptiness Song.

[@lineshgiri2044]

This Song is magic ... it was my 12th class when i first listen to it and its been 15 years but i still listen to it sometimes.. it connects to the soul .. Loved It!! Thank you Gajendra Verma for this master piece.

[@Amuzic]

When I started watching the video, I thought...well here is a singer with one hit wonder...the more the video progressed, the more I got to see inside his mind and thought process, and by the end of this video, i had a wide grin of satisfaction...he has the beautiful mind of a true composer. Salut.

[@saggybeats]

gajendra created so many good songs loved it

[@washifify]

Man what a beautiful breakdown of his thought process, beautifully put in words.

[@TheNomadclub]

poora college aakho k saamne se guzar gya bhai nam aakho k saath ! Thanks for sharing

[@mhprotic]

He's a very nice person, when He was live on FB or Instagram years ago, he replied to everyone's comments and talked nicely by taking names. This shows the respect he has for the fans. I appreciate his effort and gesture towards fan tbh, He's not only a remarkable singer,also a good hearted person.

[@mehulpanjwani2221]

Who remembers that there were two other versions of it also. "Mai haara, mai haara jaise tuta hua ho sitara"

[@TEJAX]

This video took me back to my school times in 2013 when we had no phones but only one of my friend had one and we used to listen this song, never knew i will do music in future 💗💗

[@mitaliutekar9936]

Jo bhi dala accha hua dala jo nahi so nahi dala.. it’s best as it is.. like childhood memories as it was. Thanks for the song ❤❤❤

[@Anti_terrorist_organisation]

I love every song from gajendra varma 🔥😎👍 specially Mera jahaan jo tera hua. & Emptiness ♥️🥲

[@Vishalsingh-pr3im]

For me it was sang by an iitian Rohan Rathore! ❤ I will still believe my school time story! 😅

[@UmerFarooq-wu5qg]

Us bhai us.

[@pb25193]

There actually is a guy from IIT Bombay called Rohan Rathod but he didn't make this song

[@Vishalsingh-pr3im]

@ i am curious to know how this story of rohan rathore came to light with this song? I was hell concerned about him when i got to know that his gf left him and he sang this song n died without completing the song, this song has long music at the end which was unusual to us and the story made sense then! 😄

[@gaurav_kabra]

Ufff the initial intro of gajendra singing it live was just perfect!! Can we have more of this in every episode where the composer/singer actually sings their own raw version of it!

[@aryankadam8811]

For me it was like everything, I had sang this song in college function when my ex said no at my first attempt. Used to sing always to impress her, that part of life was fun, n true emotions are attached with this song.

[@abdullahdesigns00]

This song is part of the soul for many people now. Truly a deep and true emotion. ❤

❤ i sang this to my beloved during our last conversation. Her family got her married to a man who was much richer and wealthier than me. Its been more than a year without her and the pain is still fresh. May She remain happy

[@VarunMashru]

Oh wow! This song still gives me the chills. I think this is the song that introduced many of us(back in the day) to what deep sadness can feel like. Even though, looking back, us time pe aisa itna kuch sad feel krne jaisa that bhi nai 😂 The influence a rumor can have.

[@parashmoniborah6150]

[@Saheb_Banik]

I remember back in my college days. 8-9 years ago. There was a jamming session where I sang this song with my friends. There was one girl who was crying. Later she told me that the song remembered her of her previous relationship. I told her to calm down, forget about past and move on. 😑😑

[@sanket937]

Gajendra bhai pls Gaane banate rahiye. aap bahot khoob music krte h. Be it Saajna re, tera hi rahoon, tujhse door jo hota hoon, mann mera, tera ghata sab bohot hi payara h. pls keep making❤
