Recalling old memories, the singer wrote, “26 years back while making Bijuria, we didn’t know the song would stand the test of time and how..! Shouting, whistling, blabbering stuff that had back stories only we knew about, laughing, imitating, learning and above all making long lasting music and what all.. My dear Ravi bhai, Tarun bhai and Late Ajay bhai, we did all this with such positivity and innocence. Thank you God for such a beautiful journey. Enjoy #bijuria yet again.”

Fans instantly reacted to the post, showering love on the song and its timeless legacy. Actor Varun Dhawan, who features in the reimagined version of ‘Bijuria’, also commented on the post. “Most amazing thing to see today 26 years back I was 12 years old and this song really really made me want to be an actor”, he wrote.

The new version of ‘Bijuria’ marks a vibrant celebration of rhythm, passion, and modern flair, with Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s energetic dance moves turning it into a perfect match for the upcoming weddings and party season.

The original song was composed by Ravi Pawar, with lyrics from Sonu Nigam and Ajay Jhingran. Speaking on his song, Sonu Nigam, in a press release, said, “Bijuria is one of those songs that has lived many lives. When we first recorded it, I had no idea it would be so loved and would last so long, evergreen, as if eternal. Revisiting it now decades later feels like a full-circle moment.”
