Move over, new hits — Bobby Deol’s 1997 classic Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela just became the internet’s latest obsession thanks to Aryan Khan’s The Ba**ds of Bollywoo! Fans are raving over how the old-school track suddenly feels fresh and cheeky in the series.
Who could have predicted that the most viral moments from The Ba**ds of Bollywood wouldn’t be the brand-new songs, but tracks from over two decades ago? Raghav Juyal’s hilarious rendition of Kaho Na Kaho to Emraan Hashmi has everyone talking online. But it’s Bobby Deol’s 1997 song from Gupt that’s stealing the show.
The track, Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela, originally featured in Gupt, now pops up in the show as part of the fictional universe, where Bobby plays Bollywood superstar Ajay Talvar. In the series,
the song is said to be from Ajay’s in-universe late-90s film Sailaab. A party scene in the early episodes teases it, but its full magic lands in the climax when Mona Singh’s character, Neeta, is digitally inserted as a background dancer—something that never happened in the original video.

The nostalgic track, composed by Viju Shah and sung by Udit Narayan, is trending fast on Instagram and Spotify. Over just four days since the show’s Netflix release, the original YouTube video has amassed over 5 million fresh views, proving that a classic never really goes out of style. Fans are loving the combination of old-school hits with new storytelling. Social media buzzed with clips, memes, and comments on how seamlessly the 90s vibe blends into Aryan’s modern cinematic universe.
