SRK, Aishwarya's 'Ishq Kameena' recreation featuring Huma Qureshi draws mixed reactions from fans
Mumbai, June 27
Remember the hit 'Ishq Kameena' track featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan from the 2002 film Shakti: The Power? That song has now been recreated for Huma Qureshi's upcoming film 'Baby Do Die Do'.
While some viewers have liked the recreated version, a section of fans of the original track have expressed disappointment, questioning the need for a remake and expressing their dislike.
"Kyu kara yaar," a fan wrote on Instagram.
"No one can beat Aish," another social media user commented.
"bollywood ke pass remix ke alawa koi option nhi hai toh original songs ko bhi nahi chhoda jata hai kuch naya socho bollywood wale," a netizen commented.
The music video of Ishq Kameena 2.0 features Huma alongside actor Rachit Singh.
While sharing the song's link on X, Huma Qureshi gave a shout-out to Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
She wrote, "For delhi kids we grew up dancing to these 90s songs .. pinching myself that I get to recreate it .. we love you @iamsrk and Aishwarya maam #IshqKameena."
'Baby Do Die Do' is slated to hit theatres on July 3. It is directed by Nachiket Samant and is produced by Saqib Saleem.
Chunky Pandey, Sikandar Kher and Seema Pahwa also feature in key roles in the film.

As a 'delhi kid' myself, I get Huma's nostalgia. But why touch a classic? No one can beat Aishwarya's expressions in the original. The new version is decent for today's generation, but it'll never match the vibe. 😬
Yaar, I'm disappointed. Huma is a great actress, but this song needed SRK and Aish's energy. The remake feels flat. Bollywood really needs to stop relying on remakes and come up with fresh ideas. 🙄
I actually liked the new version! Huma and Rachit have done a good job. The song is catchy for a new audience. People need to stop being so critical – let the film have its own identity. Music evolves, yaar! 👍
'Kyu kara yaar' sums it up perfectly. The original is iconic – it's like remaking 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'. Some things are best left untouched. Still, I'll give the film a chance because Huma is good. 🤞
As someone who watched the original abroad, I understand the nostalgia. But remakes are a trend everywhere, not just Bollywood. Huma's version is fine, but it lacks the magic of SRK-Aish. Let's see if 'Baby Do Die Do' is good overall.
