Dr. Paramita Mukherjee Mullick is an Internationally acclaimed award-winning poetess and authoress who has so far written eight books.

Anup Jalota has released many books of hers and really likes her poetry.  Many of her poems have been translated into 39 Indian as well as International languages including, Spanish, Italian,Bulgarian, Romanian, French, Uzbek, Turkish,Nepali etc.

She voiced her desire to Anup Jalota that she wanted one of her poems to be made into a song by him. So they zeroed in on ‘Love Grows’, which coincidentally is a favourite of both, and a new song was born. Anup jalota has sung, so far, in 10 languages and ‘Love Grows’ is his first English song. It’s also a first song of Dr. Paramita Mukherjee Mullick to be made into a video and her recitation has added more substance to the music video.

Composed by Anup jalota,’ Love Grows’ music has been arranged by a notable background music expert Jolly Mukherjee. In the music video Paramita has recited the poem and after each stanza Anup Jalota has sung it. A beautifully captured video also features a young contemporary dancer Manya Agarwal who has danced lyrically on the lilting music. Amarbir Singh has shot the video.The song talks about Love which is deep rooted and grows more intense as time progresses. The music video is released on Tips Music’s OTT  Volume and has been garnering a lot of support.
