Mystery behind Rohan Rathore and the song 'Emptiness'-Rohan Rathore is a Fake-"Gajendra Verma owns "Tune Mere Jaana" Song

It’s a story that would touch anyone’s heart —Rohan Rathore, an IIT-Guwahati student, loved a girl who didn’t reciprocate his feelings. Hecomposed a heart-wrenching number for her and died of cancer 15 days later. The song, titled Emptiness became a rage online, with around 15 lakh views and eight dedicated Facebook groups with thousands of fans. However, there is a hitch. Apparently, Rohan Rathore does not exist.Gajendra Verma, a 21-year-old sound recordist from Mumbai, says that he has sung the song, written byAseem Ahmed Abbasee, a writer, and Verma’s friend, Monami Roy.

To counter the Rohan Rathore story, Vermawill be releasing the complete album with six songs next month, and has already posted the song on YouTube, with a slideshow of his pictures. “I had composed the tune for a project one-and-a-half years ago. I had sent the song to some people for  feedback, and I think it got leaked then,” says Verma.

Reacting to allegationsthat he and Aseem cooked up this story to publicise the song and increase downloads , he says, “Why would I publicise my song using someone else’s name?” He adds, “I feel really bad when I see someone else’s name on my song. I don’t even know how Rohan Rathore’s name got attached to it. I know that the voice is mine.” Aseem Abbasee, the lyricist, says he is unaware about the Rohan Rathore story. “I wrote this song when Gajendra approached me for it. Its unfortunate that it got stolen and people attached a false story with it.”

Shortly after the song became popular, fans got curious. Sumit Lal wrote, “I finally dug out the story. No one at IIT-G knows who Rathore is.” “People like the song because of the story behind it,” read another comment.

Still whatever the case is, enjoy the song!!

The true story of Rohan Rathore behind the song Emptiness!! (Lonely)- Tune Mere Jaana Kabhi Nahi Jaana

Rohan Rathore was an IIT-Guwahati Student who loved a girl named Supriyalike anything else. But he was suffering from Cancer.You might have heard his song already in Facebook, which is one of highest shared/liked video of 2010. So coming to his story, he was studying in one of top graduate engineering college, he was handsome but the girl who he loved unconditionally never returned his love. So bad. But worse, he was suffering from Cancer. He wrote a song and dedicated to her. Made video of it and the worst happened, he died just after recording the song. Below is his song :

Really sad right ? The song is so awesome. Runs though our veins with feeling of Love.Emptiness, describes, the void left in his loving heart by his girl. Pretty sad story if you ask me. The guy now loved and remembered everyday by millions over Facebook and Twitter, is no more. Sad. I sob.

Hey wait ! Did you really believed what I wrote  above, like other million people in Facebook ? [Okay, not to be rude, word stupid is missing]. Well, it’s a pretty bollywood story if you ask me or excerpt of Chetan Bhagat’s next filmie novel 

At first I believed for the first time when I heard the song and read about him in Youtube and FB page. But, second thing I did was, which you never do, searching over Google for truth. For my utter surprise none of the Ex-Guwahati IITians mentioned him. I digged more and found out it’s fake.

Yes, it was the insensitive and cheap trick for marketing their song. But, they did it in right way.

1.What first comes to your mind when you hear the song and read about him ?  LOVE, CANCER, IIT-G. We Indians, simply have inevitable attraction towards Love stories. Add some prestigious college name and make it sad story, Game Over.
