Sonu Nigam & Ishitta Arun Recreate “Bijuria” Magic After 26 Years for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

Bollywood nostalgia just hit different! 🎶 The evergreen Sonu Nigam and the ever-charming Ishitta Arun have reunited after 26 long years to bring back the magic of their iconic track “Bijuria” this time for Dharma Productions’ upcoming film Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor.

From 1999 Chartbuster to 2025 Bollywood Biggie

Back in 1999, Bijuria wasn’t just another music video—it was a cultural moment. With Sonu Nigam’s soulful voice and Ishitta’s unforgettable screen presence, the song turned into a youth anthem at college fests and house parties. Originally composed by Ravi Pawar with lyrics by Sonu and Ajay Jhingran, it became one of the most beloved Indi-pop tracks of the ’90s.

Cut to 2025, music director Tanishk Bagchi and singer Asees Kaur have recreated the classic for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. The film, directed by Shashank Khaitan, promises to give this nostalgic banger a new twist, with Varun and Janhvi adding today’s masala to yesterday’s magic.

Instagram Reel That Broke the Internet

On September 16, Ishitta dropped a fun skit on Instagram with Sonu. In it, the duo is seen reacting to the younger stars’ version of Bijuria.

• Ishitta playfully says: “Bachchon ne accha kiya hai” (The kids have done well).

• Sonu adds: “Bohot mast kiya hai” (They’ve done great).

• But then comes the mic-drop moment—Sonu jokes they can’t pull it off anymore, only for Ishitta to fire back: “Mat bhoolo hum kaun hai… karke dikhayenge!”

And just like that, the two break into the hook step—26 years later! Fans instantly flooded the comments with love, calling it the perfect blend of nostalgia + swag.

Why This Reunion Matters

This isn’t just about a song. It’s about generations connecting:

• ’90s kids get to relive their college days.

• Gen Z & millennials discover a classic in a new avatar.

• Bollywood shows once again how timeless voices and faces never fade away.

The reel proved that Sonu’s golden voice and Ishitta’s screen charisma are as powerful today as they were in 1999.
