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.

Tanishk Bagchi's remixes are hit or miss, but this one actually works! The modern twist doesn't take away from the original's charm. Perfect for the upcoming wedding season!

While I appreciate the new version, I wish Bollywood would create more original songs instead of always remixing classics. That said, this is one of the better recreations I've heard recently.
