Afsos by Anuv Jain and AP Dhillon has been nominated at the JUNO Music Awards 2026, earning a spot in the South Asian Music Recording of the Year category.
The nomination places Afsos alongside recordings by artists including Karan Aujla, Ikky and Shubh, underlining the growing visibility of South Asian music within North America’s mainstream awards ecosystem.
For Anuv Jain, the recognition arrives amid an expanding international footprint. Following the strong audience response to his Dastakhat Tour and recent releases such as Inaam, his catalogue, which includes Baarishein, Alag Aasmaan, Gul and Husn, continues to find resonance beyond India, driven by a songwriting approach centred on intimacy and emotional clarity.
The JUNO nomination adds to a broader pattern of global platforms increasingly acknowledging South Asian-origin repertoire not as a niche category, but as a commercially and culturally significant segment of the international music market.
