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."

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.
