miss vivacious: Chandana Sharmabound by music: Babul Supriyo with Nicolette Bird and a male model who appear in the video

nHis playback singing career may not be as hot as can be but Babul Supriyo is on a high with his Indipop lifeline. Babul?s new album Kuch Aisa Lagtaa Hai, billed as ?an anthology of youthful, breezy and romantic songs?, has indeed won many a young heart since its release.

The popularity of the album has a lot to do with the first video single, Tere liye, shot in Greece and featuring Miss India Earth Niharika Singh.

Now, Babul?s new video from the same album has just hit the airwaves. Called Pyaar hua hai pehli baar, the video features none other than Calcutta girl Nicolette Bird. Having appeared in remix videos like Saiyaan dil mein aana re and Nisha, this is one of the first original tracks that Nicolette will be grooving to.

Exuding ?loads of energy and panache?, the foot-tapping single is all about first love and the plethora of emotions revolving around it.

nIf the face on the right looks familiar, it?s because you have seen her many a time on billboards across the city. She is Chandana Sharma, Nilanjanaa?s sister, who?s all set to conquer the small screen this time, after having shared big-screen space with Jeet and (bro-in-law) Jisshu in Premi.

Dubbed as the new 8 pm girl on STAR Plus, Chandana will star as Tara in a brand new serial titled Yeh Dil Chahe More to start in December. It?s not the first time that Chandana is doing TV. She started off as a teenybopper in the serial Just Mohabbat before doing other small-screen work in Dil Se Dosti and Ayushman.

And not just Bengali films, Chandana has also done movies down south. But now it?s television where the girl with the winning smile is back for another blast.
